In one media article after another we read about how Threads and Bluesky are "decentralized social media platforms." Guess what, you are not "decentralized" if you only have one "centralized" server. Can we please stop giving #Bluesky and #Threads #Meta credit for being #decentalized platforms when all they have done is announce the intention to actually someday be decentralized. Both are currently entirely #centralized corporate platforms.
Today Mattel announced a sweeping rebrand, reflecting their vision of turning the product line, first introduced in 1959, into what they are calling an "everything doll." image
