Bluesky is not as decentralized as you think… Just saying.

That is actually an advantage. Centralized platforms are able to achieve larger audiences, increasing the chance that I will be able to find content I actually care about.

What aren’t they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.

Mastodon or Lemmy, because you would have to choose an instance and a client. Threads, because why would you?

Choice is a good thing, though.

Choice is an irritating speed bump to people who don’t care to choose, which unfortunately is most of them.
