Bluesky promises decentralization, but nearly every user's data sits on Bluesky's servers, and every new ATProto app reinforces that centralization. T

In 2023, Bluesky’s CTO Paul Frazee was asked what would happen if Bluesky ever turned against its users. His answer:

it would look something like this: bluesky has gone evil. there’s a new alternative called freesky that people are rushing to. I’m switching to freesky

That’s the same argument people made about Twitter. “If it goes bad, we’ll just leave.” We know how that played out.

    Also, those central components are controlled by the USA-based Bluesky corporation.

    This allows that country’ law enforcment and agencies to get their hands on all that data regardless of where it’s hosted (cf Cloud Act). A gag order can prevent Bluesky from speaking out (cf Gag order) so we would never know.
