Look it really doesn’t matter what some crazy people thought in 1580 or 1844. Trying to condemn the entire modern-day nation of Israel and its inhabitants is on par with calling all of Gaza terrorists.

I’m not saying Israel doesn’t have deeply rooted colonialism nor that we shouldn’t study its history, but making blanket judgements about entire peoples based on random historical nitpicks, is the weapon of the enemy.

My brain when I just got told something important

You’re not wrong but that’s not quite decentralization, that’s just not building a walled garden, but retaining the power to put up walls at any point. If most users are on BlueSky, then BlueSky retains the power. If they decide to end support of AT or to extend (break) it, they keep their user base while everything else is left in the dust.

This is why people are saying not to create an account on mastoson.social - it’s getting too big. And mastodon.social is run by a non-profit, whereas BlueSky is a for-profit company. True decentralization and federation are against their interests.

She basically admits that BlueSky is not decentralized. “If you don’t like the moderation, just go build your own app” yeah cool that’s exactly not the point.
