Isn't Bluesky supposed to be decentralized?

How can some party lock you out of it?

Well Bluesky/the protocol behind it is decentralized

but the dm (direct message) functionality itself isn't decentralized and bluesky even mentions it/shows it that its unencrypted and centralized iirc

Hmm.. so the public channel is decentralized but the private channel is not.

There is actually a technical solution to that then. Use the public channel to send/receive private messages. Every could publish a public key. Then everyone could send private messages to everyone by encrypting them with the public key of the receiver and sending them over the public channel.

Shall we try it? My public key:

    -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

    -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
You can send me a private message by encrypting it here:

https://anycript.com/crypto/rsa

And then pasting the encrypted version into a reply to this comment :)

Paste my private keys into a form control on the web? What could go wrong?
