For the amount of space a earphone jack takes it really doesn’t make sense for them to include it, when you can just use a cheap adaptor cable

99.96% actually.

Bluesky is all but 100% centralised

The underlying protocol doesn’t get you very far when 99.96% of users are on one instance.

If Bluesky decides do defederate with everyone they keep all the users and content and all the control.

I like the wiki definition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralization Decentralization or decentralisation is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those related to planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group and given to smaller factions within it.

Based on this and other definitions I’ve seen, Bluesky is NOT decentralised.

I struggle to see how a platform of which 99.96% of it’s users are controlled by one entity is Decentralised.

The scoring system isn’t perfect, and is subjective, but it’s a good starting point to try and measure if something is decentralised.

I forsee a lot of big companies pretending to be Open-Source and decentralised because it’s good for profits. Just like they pretend to care about Gay rights etc. When it suites them

In theory Bluesky users have the option to switch, but in practice they don’t 36 Million users can’t just switch to other servers only catering for ~15,000 users.

mastodon.social has ~30% of the active users, which is a lot, but if it went down Mastodon would continue working for most users.

You can’t compare the 99.96% market share Bluesky has with that.

They are slowly making their way towards becoming another “Big Tech” company, they play nice with their users etc. now while they are still growing. Just like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook etc. did in the beginning, but eventually they will pick profit over their users.

I just don’t trust them enough to actually follow through with becoming Decentralised and giving up controlling over 99% of users.

~99.96% of all Bluesky users and content is on Bluesky servers.

Bluesky is decentralised in theory, but in reality it is not. Until one entity doesn’t own over 90% of the users and content, I really can’t see how it can be seen as decentralised.

There are only 15,000 out of 36 Million users that are on servers not owned by Bluesky.

99.96% of users being on one instance isn’t Decentralised even if the technology supports it in theory. If 99.96% of users were on lemmy.world, I wouldn’t call lemmy decentralised even if the technology allows it in theory.

Sure here’s a tour of the moderation features in PieFed

https://piefed.social/post/846276

A big one that I don’t think is in this video is it hashed similar looking images and the Mod can ban them, this is useful to stop CSAM

Consider moving them to PieFed.

It’s more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.
