There are already "other Blueskies" out there, and you can already port your identity to them.

However, most users haven't, and most users are not motivated to do so. Thus, OP created a website.

We're counting hypotheticals as real now? I suppose your not-hypothetical girlfriend goes to another school too, right? Just not motivated to visit?

As you're no doubt aware, the reason 99.9% of bluesky users are on a single server is obviously not because "nobody is motivated" to create other servers.

I'm sorry your credibility is at zero with me. You keep avoiding the point.

At no point in this conversation did I ever rely on my own credibility to make an argument.

I'm just going to respond to what you said before you edited your comment to be a reaction gif.

Since (as of November of last year) a majority of Bluesky's user base is non-technical, they have don't have the knowledge or motivation to switch to another PDS. If 30 million users joined mastodon.social, the fediverse would also be centralized.

The only way for Bluesky to be decentralized by the metrics you use is for them to force users onto other PDSes.
