Nope. This fundamentally misunderstands decentralized networks imo. But so does #bluesky. Ugh.

The fediverse is a new type of social network that is built by people themself, by adding their own servers and applications, so that the network organically grows. Millions of people from across the globe are thus able to find each other on the basis of shared passions and interests, and navigate a rich tapestry of inclusive communities to discuss and collaborate, and to express their freedom and creativity.
I think that will be a net positive, as it will cause the corporate capture to happen on #Bluesky, and not on the fediverse. So that gives the #fediverse time to further evolve as the #SocialWeb of the people, where personal #SocialNetworking prevails and a great #culture thrives. Fediverse will be smaller than some #people hoped it would be. But won't see corporate takeover, so it'll also be happier and safer for the #fedizens it offers an online home.
Bluesky corporation is now deliberately hosting and verifying dozens of Trump regime accounts including White House, Homeland Security / ICE, Department of War, JD Vance etc. All of these accounts without exception are being just used to post fascist and racist propaganda:

This isn't neutral government info, it's just promoting fascism and hatred of minorities.
Recommend defederation of the Bluesky bridge:
bsky.brid.gy
If you're not an admin, ask your admin to defederate the bsky.brid.gy domain.
Imagine your government shows up on social media, and within the first day, 30 times as many people block you as follow you.

Not sure how I feel about this.
There's Postiz, integrates with #Lemmy #Mastodon and #Bluesky. Looks great, well-designed, #AGPL
There's Gitroom, Github Library, and Grow Chief commercial products around helping open source projects. Okay.
And then there's https://agentheroes.ai ..

All from the same company. AI characters? Like fake accounts that you can let roam these Postiz channels?
It may be well meant, but rife for abuse, no?
