“our lead shares our philosophy that technology should serve the user, not the reverse

this is why they focus on blockchains, a technology basically always used at the expense of its users”

i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform

I mean, it's entirely possible it will all be fine, and everything will work out well

But they also just invested a nontrivial amount of cash in a business with literally no public plan for how to make money, and are going to expect a return on that investment. They also don't seem to have a track record of just hurling money at things because they want to be nice?

So, um...yeah. I have no idea what happens, I honestly hope for the best, but it's hard to image this is stringless
