Ok, let’s not have the is Bluesky decentralised discussion again. Kudos to Bluesky’s PR efforts to use complex technology to basically sell themselves as whatever people want to hear (like NFTs but social media). There are a number of X/Threads clones out there, but I’d take a group chat on some relatively secure messaging platform over “social media” any day. Even better if it’s something I can self host or join into one from many servers (remember IRC? Good times).

We really need to rethink this “one corp owns all the keys and all servers” setup.

Yup

Any cervices, really

so matrix? (which has it's own issues, but will hopefully overcome them eventually)
