What “regional lock-in” are you talking about? Isn’t all the bluesky tech USAian? Aren’t all the technical decisions made in the US? If they decide to introduce some kind of filtering in the code, is the EU side going to copy-paste the code , remove the offending parts, and then host it? I doubt they’ll be able to keep that up for long. They are facing millions of dollars across the pond.
BlueSky itself is still operated and developed by a corporation though, even if an instance isn’t. Thus you’re still beholden to the whims of the people in charge of that.
Use MU.social
European bluesky alternative
Though if i recall it can connect to bluesky so you can see that content too
*puts EU sticker on US coloured pig*
“There, that makes it better”
creates EU infrastructure that connects to US infrastructure to prevent regional lock-in

Not the PDSs, only the AppView and PLC but EU alternatives for those are in the work too.
Use Mastodon/Sharkey
Fediverse alternative, not connected to nation states or capitalists.
Neither have the user base of Twitter or Bluesky, which is essential for a social platform.
And they never will if we continue to direct people to corpoweb.
lol ok bro
Sharkey is just miles ahead of Mastodon and I’m disappointed no one told me that before joining.

Love me some greedy assholes, i trust them with my every fiber of being 😍
Jokes aside if we have more people on here, things could change pretty fast in a good way.
It is changing already, just look at Blacksky.
Its not a Bluesky alternative, its just a different frontend for Bluesky. A good frontend but nothing more.
