Over the last few years I have tried out the other decentralized X alternatives Mastodon, Nostr Bluesky is the best UX by far of course, but it's still just another centralized network for now The problem is centralization is actually much better unless you're into some really fringe stuff

Same with crypto, it's very useful if you're into things that are either illegal or most of society doesn't agree with For everything else the benefits of centralized control outweigh the risks

Nothing against it If I happen to someday be a part of a community where I need deso or crypto I would be glad they exist I just think they will always exist to serve the fringe parts of society and not the mainstream because centralized will always be a better user experience

I agree with the premise, but because bluesky is currently basically just a single app sitting on top of a theoretically (but not practically) decentralized protocol, I don't personally feel any of the downsides of decentralization. Feels exactly like Twitter to me except usernames are a bit uglier.
