    She basically admits that BlueSky is not decentralized. “If you don’t like the moderation, just go build your own app” yeah cool that’s exactly not the point.

    CopeSky would be a better name. It will have to close up shop once investors realize it’s not Twitter 2.0.

      Or that it is Twitter 2.0 and Twitter wasn’t a good investment until Musk overpaid for it.

        If Twitter lost money for the rest of its existence it would still be a good investment for a billionaire because it provides the power to shape narratives.

      I hate how bluesky is seen as a revolution…

      I’m pretty sure that’s just the establishment liberal media. A real revolution would mean upending their own way of life.

      I’m like 95% sure these VC junk apps just pay influencers to join and everyone else follows. I say 95 because I know other platforms have done it, I’ve just not seen the specific smoking gun for BS yet. But that’s probably just because of NDAs.

      Elon Musk saved them from having to confront that corporatism was the problem with Twitter. They don’t realize the whole “decentralized” slogan is just a startup in the growth phase willing to promise anything and ask for nothing in order to lock people in and if they’re lucky enough to not be bought by another billionaire fascist, they’ll just go to shit like all the others.

    Until it gets mass adoption, then the enshitification will begin. Bluesky is still funded by a corporation.

      Not merely funded, owned by a for-profit.

      It exists for profit. That is its goal and purpose.

      Also the article doesnt have any critical question how BlueSky is a “mediated” network instead of decentralised …

      Would you kill to expound on why?

      Me personally… They were already pretty heavy handed with moderation before the masses made the switch and then they got a bit worse.

      But it feels like you’ve got something juicier!

    It was a matter of time until BS (I prefer to use this abbreviation) reveals its true face, tragically after it permits the connection with instances in the Fediverse. It must be blocked immediately from Mastodon and others.
