But even if all of #threads would be part of the #fediverse and make the fediverse practically centralized, it wouldn't change the the factual situation that
a) #mastodon is #decentralized,
b) #bluesky as being controlled by a single company is completely centralized, and
c) #atmosphere as being dominated by #bluesky is practically centralized.

@mastodonmigration @folkerschamel@mmasnick.bsky.social I just saw this thanks to folker posting it (misleadingly) on Bluesky. As I've said repeatedly, that chart is not only meaningless, but it's misleading. If it included Threads on the AP side, then Mastodon would look way way worse. But that's silly. If it counted Threads would that suddenly make Mastodon less decentralized? Of course not. That's why that chart is completely meaningless.

Nonsense.

Of course, when considering #threads as a part of the #fediverse, then it's not #decentralized.

But this does not change the fact that #mastodon is #decentralized. As is the #fediverse excluding #threads. As show nicely by the diagram.

And of course all this does not change the fact that #bluesky is controlled by a single company. And that #atmosphere is centralized. As also shown nicely with the diagram.

I thought it didn't matter because it's decentralized, right? 😉

Told y'all we were cooking.

Say hello to Conjured Ink ( https://conjured.ink ): an #IndieWeb-based, #decentralized ecosystem of shops networked together to resist the kind of nonsense Itch and Steam have been dealing with.

We're a collective designing and building the software needed for folks who aren't techies to basically self host without feeling like they're self-hosting. Because you shouldn't need to be a sysadmin to free yourself from this yoke.

Join us!
