It seems that #Bluesky is getting some traction, so it's good to summarize the facts:
- it's centralized (99% of users on one instance),
- it has insufficient moderation,
- it's not easily publicly browsable,
- it has terrible terms of service (you grant them broad rights to all your content).
The only thing that makes it different from X in principle is that it's not run by a mad man (yet)... Ah, I forgot it's Jack Dorsey's project, nevermind.
It seems totally set up for purposes of AI scraping.
I’m not sure why Jack felt he had to start new just to do THAT.
Another thing I think he wanted, that original Twitter did NOT have (it created its own virtual one based on personal interest instead ) is an IRL ‘network effect’ of the type Facebook always had, that might be more likely to be exploited in different ways; a INVITED member has a better chance of being a real vetted person (to exploit), not a bot
Bot swarms and artificial claques by people trying to reach mass appeal, and an archive going back 15 years were stressing servers were creating more costs than profits. He was shaking off overhead.
