A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I stopped reading when the "journalist" asked this question:
How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?
Yall are so annoying. Bluesky is 2 years old. Mastodon is like 8 years old. Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.
Yall have such a hate boner you dont even do research. No wonder normies will never use mastodon or lemmy yall are insufferable and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features
Edit: to anyone curious about keeping up with bluesky’s progress in decentralization and all the other stuff theyre working on here’s a good blog https://fediversereport.com/
Do you have a link to people talking about running a relay on a raspberry pi? I find it hard to believe that's possible. A PDS, sure, but a relay requires multiple terabytes of storage alone and plenty of bandwidth/CPU/RAM that I just don't see a raspberry pi being able to support.
I'd be curious to hear about any progress on setting up new relays though.
Heres a good blog, this specific post mentions the independent relays (you can set one up already for under $50 a month) https://fediversereport.com/atmosphere-report-116/
Heres the guide on setting up a relay https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lo7a2a4qxg2l
Heres a speedrun of someone setting one up https://whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3lkubavdilf2m
Which will increase heavily in the coming years. Blueskys "de"centralization is basically - use one of three instances, and probably pay for it sooner or later because it's fucking expensive.
