What's wrong with bluesky? (sh.itjust.works)

Seriously i have zero idea what is going on with bluesky. I never used it. Why are people saying it's centralised? I also heard that a lot of people are joining it.

It's corporate social media.

You'll get ads. You'll get your privacy invaded. You'll have an algorithm pushing content toward you. Eventually, they'll open the floodgates to fascists because pissing you off keeps your eyes glued to ads.

BUT, it's also familiar, and that's more important to people than having to do leg work, though personally I prefer Mastodon and it's really not that hard to use once you've spent a few days there and gotten used to it.
