There are other app views in the works from other people, but yes in the current state it is rather centralized. That's why I started off saying it was semi-decentralized. I wasn't claiming it was super decentralized

YouTube does have 8k support and a handful of 8k videos

It's actually more so the other way around. The backend (PDS and relays) is open source but I believe the AppView is not currently open source

I think that's a good part of it, to be honest. Plus I think also helps that Bluesky's handles look visually less confusing and unusual than the conventional double @ sign for the fediverse

@user.bsky.social vs @user@bsky.social

Plus other things like having starter packs

Who's now left Bluesky which is probably for the better given his views on a lot of things

I noticed that and deleted my post but the deletion probably hasn't federated just yet, sorry about that

Bluesky is at least semi-decentralized, however, though not to the same extent as something like Mastodon

I'd also argue that Twitter is also uniquely bad even among other problematic platforms

Yes, they did really buy Info Wars. Here's a serious site talking about it:

Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process

 

Alaska has been moving more and more democratic over the past decade or so but has been largely under most people's radar

Democrats won Alaska's at large house seat in 2022. There was also recently a major flip in the Fairbanks Alaska borough earlier this week a democrat won the mayor race despite it voting R+15 in 2020. Though Alaska does split their vote more than other states

Polling is rather limited in Alaska which makes it harder to tell exactly how things are going on for the presidental race. Some put Harris within striking distance. It's possible for it to end up flipping this cycle or in the near future

Reminder to always keep up the fight. Even when things seem inevitable, fights can be won. That goes both ways: don't get complacent and don't get despaired

Get active, and get involved

However it's often used in the context of already existing systematic issues. The bunch has already spoiled
