    Video will not work for AT whatsoever. Text and images, fine, but I’m pretty sure leveraging edge delivery of video is just not going to work out well for users. I think they’ll need a centralized host for that portion, or some fancy ways to offload bandwidth otherwise to prevent constant hammering of popular videos.

    I swear, we’re just witnessing the next power-grab by people richer than us.

    Anyone who isn’t advocating for Mastodon, the federated option, is either a fool or being fooled.

        So is twitter and all the other clones.

        That’s still not an excuse to go with the centralized option when centralization is what put people in this position.

            How is it better?

            If it’s really decentralized, where are the other instances?

              It’s better than X because there’s no nonsense right-wing political propaganda and shitty CEO, and it’s better than Mastodon because it’s more user friendly.

              It is meant to be decentralised, but most people aren’t creating their own instances.

                So… censorship and not-actually-being-decentralized are your reasons for liking it more?

                shitty CEO

                Err… don’t be fooled. The CEO of bluesky is only in this to make money. If he could do what musk does, odds are he would.

                  There’s no censorship the right-wingers haven’t moved to bluesky yet.

                  not-actually-being-decentralized are your reasons for liking it more

                  Still better than X and Mastodon, so yes.

                  If he could do what musk does, odds are he would.

                  You mean aggressively lobby for right wing takeover and attempt to influence international governance? I have my doubts

    Kids use tiktok and they don’t want something their dad built, however safe. They are migrating to rednote because it’s not safe.
