Laurens Hof makes the very good point that decentralized technology does not in itself result in decentralized power. As Jo Freeman writes, "The truth is, nearly every attempt to design a hierarchy-free, 'flat' control system just moves the central control around until you can't see it anymore." But Hof then seems to wrap up the article by saying Bluesky's decentralization will fix that. "Bluesky comes with a multimillion user social graph that new apps can plug into and build on top of. This makes the ATmosphere much more likely to become decentralised the more the network grows in popularity." I don't think it's that simple. But it's sure a lot better than the networks that are centralized by design.
