Welcome to the fediverse: Your guide to Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, and more

Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away (this one, in fact), a few internet rebels decided that they were tired of the corporate overlords controlling their online lives. Thus, the fediverse was born — an attempt to wrest control of microblogging services, such as Twitter and its ilk, away from centralized powers and into the hands of the people.

I know there are strong feelings about posts that include Threads and to lesser extent Bluesky, but it's important to know what corporate media thinks of Fediverse and how they compare it to corporate alternatives. You are encouraged to dissect the article and point out all of its failures, or just downvote the post and move on. But I won't be removing it.

P.S. The author of the article definitely has a pro VC stance.

Since then, myriad decentralized platforms have sprouted, including [...] Threads

How many Threads instances are there?

I don't think they know what "decentralized" means

What bullshit to include threads

Not just include it, they describe the Fediverse, right up front, as an escape from corporate controlled spaces, and without a hint of fucking irony, drops Threads as the second "big name".
