So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse
Bluesky is the newest iteration of privately owned and controlled social media
It's where the useful idiots are being herded. They are using it because it's "not twitter" and other people are influencing them. They don't care about decentralization.

@ininewcrow
Yup. I don't think the average user is even aware of the debate over decentralization. All they wanted was a new twitter, and Bsky was the closest. That's it.
