Yall are so annoying. Bluesky is 2 years old. Mastodon is like 8 years old. Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.
Yall have such a hate boner you dont even do research. No wonder normies will never use mastodon or lemmy yall are insufferable and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features
Edit: to anyone curious about keeping up with bluesky’s progress in decentralization and all the other stuff theyre working on here’s a good blog https://fediversereport.com/
We don't have a hate boner. We see "decentralized" being thrown around like a buzzword and we know that it really doesn't apply to their platform.
It's like the Libertarian Party taking the word "libertarian" and flipping the meaning to describe their ideology.
It's a distortion of the spirit of the word and actual libertarians obviously want to clear up the misunderstandings that result from being introduced to the concept of libertarianism through such a group.
What new features does Bluesky have...?
Being a centralized decentralized platform of course. Very innovative.
Someone clearly has never used context menus or opened their account settings in Mastodon.
Reddit is now decentralized, I just set up nginx to cache it🤡
Oh wait, PDS' don't even cache lol
Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?
Do you have a link to the raspi instance?
Bluesky’s model is built in a way that means it won’t ever be decentralized. There are plenty of articles about it.
Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?
Lmao cant tell if youre trolling because all of that is already possible or being worked on (assuming you meant bluesky idk why you wrote twitter)
That's what you said, so I was just going off of that.
Do you have a link to people talking about running a relay on a raspberry pi? I find it hard to believe that's possible. A PDS, sure, but a relay requires multiple terabytes of storage alone and plenty of bandwidth/CPU/RAM that I just don't see a raspberry pi being able to support.
I'd be curious to hear about any progress on setting up new relays though.
Heres a good blog, this specific post mentions the independent relays (you can set one up already for under $50 a month) https://fediversereport.com/atmosphere-report-116/
Heres the guide on setting up a relay https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lo7a2a4qxg2l
Heres a speedrun of someone setting one up https://whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3lkubavdilf2m
Which will increase heavily in the coming years. Blueskys "de"centralization is basically - use one of three instances, and probably pay for it sooner or later because it's fucking expensive.
