Decentralization and erasure: Blacksky, Bluesky, and the ATmosphere
https://privacy.thenexus.today/decentralization-and-erasure-blacksky-bluesky-and-the-atmosphere-2/
There's been a lot of discussion about whether or not Bluesky and the ATmosphere (the ecosystem using the AT protocol) are decentralized. Blacksky runs three feed generators, a moderation service, and a work-in-progress personal data store (PDS) as well as providing a starter pack. And the vision for Blacksky "extends beyond any single platform".
That sounds pretty decentralized to me!
But as far as I can tell, nobody else in the discussion is talking about Blacksky as an actually-existing example of decentralization. What's with that?
Just two more days to vote for our SXSW panels, and then we'll stop going on about them until next March 🤞.
Cast your votes to see @mike talking to Rudy Fraser of Blacksky about community building, and Patreon's Jack Conte about creator independence.

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part?
@laurenshof
looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and fediverse.

Blacksky went from a "custom feed that created a sense of shared space" to being the first independent ATProto microblogging community outside of Bluesky.
This is where the focus needs to be in the fediverse as well. Creating safe and welcoming communities that people want to be part of.
