Did anyone actually think it would be? It just had to be not Twitter. Mastodon would've been awesome but apparently the barrier for entry was more than the average person willing to accept.

Yes a lot of people went away from Mastodon to Bluesky, thinking indeed it was open source and decentralized. Jack Dorsey is selling BlueSky like that. Also various media outlets are saying: "Is Bluesky decentralized? Yes."

I assume so. They've certainly been trumpeting it enough.
