    So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse

    They call it marketing, I call it propaganda.

      “It’s the same picture.”

      Always has been. The only difference is what they’re selling.

        I feel like this speaks to an unchallenged myth in our society. That corporate organizations and government organizations are somehow completely categorically different from one another such that they exist in totally separate spheres of reality. But they’re both political groups of people, exercising power over the peasants. It’s not as different as people think. And they often have similar goals and use similar strategies, like propaganda, to achieve them.
