Just so we're clear, Bluesky is federated just like this place. Twitter was the community square of the planet until Elmo bought it and brought his own kitchen sink because he thought he knew how to run Twitter. That same delusional individual is now advising the elected Orange in charge of the USA.

Whilst Twitter had its problems, they were nothing compared to the cesspool it is today.

Bluesky will no doubt go through growing pains, but I don't see evidence of the same mistakes as you appear to be suggesting.

So, no, I don't think that you're portraying a realistic viewpoint, instead you're fear mongering for no discernible reason, other than to discredit a platform that is evolving and flourishing.

I appreciate your optimism, but I’m more on the cautious side of things. At the end of the day they are still a corporation that needs to profit as much as they can, so we have yet to see what happens when they become the dominant player in the space. Hell, it was just reported that they are now planning a subscription model, waaay earlier than Elon did with twitter.

They have like 20 employees and are a public benefit corporation with profit motives to benefit society rather than maximise shareholder value.

Yes, rule wouldn't apply to another instance like poop.social, but when 90% of the content is through bsky.social there is a massive chilling effect.
