What's the point of Bluesky if they're just going to bow before authoritarianism?
There isn’t one as far as I’m concerned. People moved from one corpo social media platform to another corpo social media platform thinking that the person running the former platform was the problem, when the entire model is designed to prioritise profit over human expression.
For a company like blue sky, you bow to all governments, or you bow to none. One way you become so milquetoast nobody wants to use you because nothing interesting is ever said. The other way you become 4chan.
I think there is a sensible middle ground. :)
Become 4chan as in being offline?
Its a vc funded for profit. They have no choice.
This has been a major red flag that everyone on bsky is just ignoring.
I wouldn't say they ignore it, more they're too naive or misinformed to understand it's a problem.
Well it gives everyone the opportunity to blindly believe everything will be better because it's not twitter.
