Das ist allein schon der Tatsache geschuldet, dass Bluesky eben nicht dezentral ist und man nur einen Login benötigt, der schnell erstellt ist.<br><br>Im </span><a href="https://federation.network/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a><span> muss man zudem deutschsprachige Hilfen für einen leichteren Zugang suchen. Das hemmt auch viele, die eben kein Englisch sprechen. Das Fediverse ist technik-zentriert und Nerd-affin. Es gibt freundliche Menschen da draußen, die Neueinsteigern helfen. Aber es gibt auch genügend Negativ-Beispiele. Leider.<br><br>Es ist also nicht allein eine falsche Darstellung, sondern auch ein Problem, dessen man sich annehmen sollte. Wie wird Mastodon und die Dienste im Fediverse nicht nur attraktiver, sondern auch deutlich zugänglicher? Daran sollte gearbeitet werden ...</span></p>

Es werden türkische Accounts zensiert, bevor das (leere?) Versprechen zur Dezentralisierung eingelöst wurde. Und das ganze Silicon Valley Geld lässt auch nicht auf mehr hoffen.
