Bluesky is so obviously trying to commercialize what we already have in the #fedi.

If you self-host your instance (increasingly cheaper and user-friendly proposition), you gain full and complete control over your presence, data, and moderation, with no intermediary. Or you can join one of the many affinity-based instances if you don’t want to deal with the admin work. Either way, you might pay a few of dollars a month.

Watch #Bluesky repeat the same cycle as Twitter—centralization, commercialization and failure all over again.
