    Bluesky isn’t bad. Maybe it will be eventually, but they are focused on open protocols and don’t act as a walled garden.

      Twitter was not bad either, until big business thought it would be ‘nice’ to have.

      The business model from Bsky: lock in as many users as possible. Sell the company with all users to an oligarch. Then the users will realize they are the business.

        True, but it can bridge with Mastodon, making it an easier move when the ship starts to sink.

          Until it can’t. Twitter had an open API and even RSS-feeds at some point.

            Fair point. Maybe we can coax them while it’s still available.
