Well it is fundamentally better because it does not only have a single party that makes all the calls thanks to the real decentralization. I wouldn't call all of fediverse "the good guys" but I would call it "good".

Because they're focused on just user numbers probably and many people from Turkey recently moved there. This decision might of course cause a decline anyway.
Whether anything about it is for a good reason is very much a contested point. There are significant issues they introduced with the design while trying to address some that exist in ActivityPub.
they could also choose to fight it exactly like Twitter under Dorsey did and as Wikipedia did (and won). Instead they're instantly just obeying and even setting up to obey multiple other countries like Russia too.
Yeah, one of my main gripes with them is how much they talk about decentralization and how much it stays as vaporware while they focus on the more pressing issue of the moment.
Yes and the thread I linked to explained why it is not looking like it's particularly well thought out for that case. Even beyond those issues they've always seemed very naive about what the company turning adversarial would actually be able to do but then again they obviously also have to worry about making money.
I don't think you got the point tbh. It isn't about wanting to separate but about how dependent you are on Bluesky Corp. in every other scenario (and how hard it would be to deal with the situation if they decide to go rogue).
seems to be a fairly recent development that isn't really documented much for now (not that running relays and some other components of the network is that well documented in general). Of course doing it that way also doesn't help with how centralized the whole thing is...
PDS is not very significant, it's just a tiny piece of the puzzle and doesn't really prove anything about the architecture. See this for more on what I'm getting at: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113365406995624763
I have zero need to play games with you. Make your case if you have one.
it's an entirely different problem because decentralization implies there is no "BlueSky" that could "do the same" as the power to comply is not theirs alone anymore at that point.
Do you have a proposal for how you'd solve the other half then or just think it isn't enough?
