Actually there is an episode of VOY that proves they did evolve a special brian region that enables them to learn how to supress emotions

Good read. We're seeing a return to "social" networks. The big platforms haven't been social for years.

So does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?

I'm always shocked by the number of of BlueSky fans that show up on Lemmy. If they don't care about centralization why are they here and not on Reddit?

Her bills are paid now. Looks like a pattern of shady employment choices.

What app is providing this service for you?

I never see people call Bluesky decentralised.

I find that surprising, because BlueSky uses that term: https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web

collapsed inline media

Jay Graeber herself described it as such.

Here is the Verge calling it decentralized: https://www.theverge.com/23686778/bluesky-ceo-jay-graber-interview-decentralized-social-media-twitter-mastodon

Here is NYT calling it decentralized: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/technology/bluesky-x-alternative.html

Here is CNN calling decentralized: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/28/tech/bluesky-social/

The tech press is talking to your normie friends?

Because, despite being wildly impractical, it’s technically built on tech that COULD be decentralized.

Yes exactly, it reminds me of the logic of cryptocurrency boosters. I just found out that the bluesky CEO (not to mention jack dorsey) are both crypto advocates so it makes a lot more sense now.

As I brought up in the title of my post, she's currently the highest level role at a morally questionable company. She has a pattern of behavior of working at morally questionable companies.
