Who cares...it's just changing one shitpile for the next soon-to-be shitpile. Bluesky will inevitably go down the shitter too once its users have enough inertia to keep them there as they squeeze them dry.
Bluesky is at least semi-decentralized, however, though not to the same extent as something like Mastodon
I'd also argue that Twitter is also uniquely bad even among other problematic platforms
No it isn't, this is marketing and until the developers actually put their money where their mouth is and provide the genuine capacity for decentralization (not just along some narrow technical definition but actually decentralized in practice) this is pure marketing hype that you absolutely shouldn't trust until you are given indisputable proof and then you should still be skeptical because they can always pull the rug out from under you.
Bluesky is open source yes, but what they are talking about is the CLIENT side of Bluesky, the actual system is dependent upon proprietary code that is most definitely not open source.
Yep, and for anyone who curious why it's not actually decentralized, I highly suggest to read this thread from someone who worked on ActivityPub:
