Kzad_Bhat#siliconvalley #techbros and #venturecapitialists achieved what Soviet Ruzzia never did but the "West" always feared they would... turned everyone into dogma regurgitating drones:

hows that for a legacy? #TylerDurden would rightfully despise all of you.
Kokos 💠John Mauriello, a product designer made a nice video essay about why he is tired of self-serving products and why they do not have value to society in mind. Funny and witty. Appears to be looking for collaboration. (appreciate the sources throughout the video)

Silicon Valley's Billion Dollar Design Scams
Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂It didn't take very long...
Special thanks to @mactunag for giving me a heads-up about Bluesky's message on X from November 2025

What I find particularly egregious is that Bluesky already had a custom feed builder: #Graze was an independent project that had proved to be super popular. They had raised a million dollars just last year! They even sponsored the AtmosphereConf last week. Then Bluesky PBC steamrolled over them and announced their own project - Attie - powered by AI... at AtmosphereConf (the event where Graze was listed as a major sponsor - you can't make this up).
A developer for ATProto was horrified by this, writing:
"Why would anyone fund an Atmosphere project if Bluesky, with $100 million in the bank, might ship a competing feature at any moment? Why would a founder bet their career on this ecosystem? The presentation didn't just hurt Graze. It made the entire ecosystem look unfundable."

I am getting A LOT of heat for pointing out shady behaviors by Bluesky PBC. Even from Fedi friends. But I think it's important to be wide-eyed and consider all this mounting evidence of problematic behavior.
