There are other app views in the works from other people, but yes in the current state it is rather centralized. That’s why I started off saying it was semi-decentralized. I wasn’t claiming it was super decentralized

YouTube does have 8k support and a handful of 8k videos

It’s actually more so the other way around. The backend (PDS and relays) is open source but I believe the AppView is not currently open source

I think that’s a good part of it, to be honest. Plus I think also helps that Bluesky’s handles look visually less confusing and unusual than the conventional double @ sign for the fediverse

@user.bsky.social vs @user@bsky.social

Plus other things like having starter packs

Who’s now left Bluesky which is probably for the better given his views on a lot of things

I noticed that and deleted my post but the deletion probably hasn’t federated just yet, sorry about that

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
