whether you agree or not, asking "what's the issue" misses the point very badly, since the article is almost entirely about what the issue is (i.e. that most people will not change defaults and the default is to centralise on the bluesky servers)

The fact that the system is built around this escape hatch makes it miles better than almost all other social networks. An escape hatch doesn't need to be used by most people to be valuable.

Nostr doesn’t have these issues

I know when I’m using a Nostr app because its logo is an endless spinner.

At the scales these systems run at, you need large indexes. Distributing those indexes across many nodes would require a breakthrough in federated queries, and if you have one of those lying around I’d pay good money for it.

Nostr has different issues, people are where their preference for dealing with them is

It's weird to focus on that when there isn't a single thing in software that doesn't suffer from "everyone will just use the default anyway"

yeah I'm not saying the blog is right or wrong; I'm just saying that describing bsky's features and asking "what's the issue?" means you aren't engaging with what it's actually saying.

I’m not the previous poster, but I don’t see any cogent points in the article to engage with in any depth.
