I haven’t mentioned the simplest and IMO best critique of Bluesky and most other big platforms, which is that they emerged out of venture-capital galaxy brain, which has the moral sense of an AI chatbot. After the past decade or so on Twitter, “I won’t touch anything Jack Dorsey has touched” is a reasonable reaction. “I will only put my social labor into platforms that can never benefit billionaires” is fair.

Next, @kissane acknowledges why there’s a significant backlash to Bluesky.
She agrees this is a reasonable reaction and it’s fair.
Ironically, I think this is the weakest part of the anti-Bluesky backlash as I believe, even if Bluesky is terrible, the protocol is free and we can use it if it has something to offer.
Nobody has to use Bluesky, but we can benefit from what they build.
