I’ve been reading that BlueSky has reached critical mass and is snowballing well at the moment. I suspect it has drawn people away from the fedi and back into the loving embrace of venture capitalists.

    The only reason I haven’t tried Bluesky is Jack’s relationship to it, having suffered through the enshitification/nazification of Twitter BEFORE it’s sale to fascist Elon Musk and subsequent purposeful destruction at the behest of the Saudis, I didn’t want to be part of anything he was part of ever again.

    The Fediverse, Mastodon/Lemmy et all is a sewer of antisemitism, which I was looking to sidestep with my move away from Reddit, but it’s so much worse here with the neo anarchist/tankies all thinking their fighting the good fight, who seem to make up the majority of the Fedi instance owners and moderators.

    This would also be the only reason I’d ever check out Bluesky, but I am inching ever closer as time goes on.

        I heard he left operations/board of directors, but I still have the inklink he retains an ownership stake in Bluesky, which is what’s prevented me from joining, so far
