Molly White“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
“in conclusion, we truly believe these leopards won’t eat our face.

BrettThey need to publicize their charter. We don't even know what their "public benefit" goals are. We don't know the voting power breakdown of their ownership structure. We don't know what their plans for profitability are (other than obviously selling your data and ads eventually).
AT Protocol is a centralized system masquerading as a decentralized platform simply because they give you the option of running the entire infrastructure yourself (which nobody ever will).
Everything about this company is geared to make you believe its something that it isn't. They're all frauds and people using Bluesky are marks at best.
Garrett Wollman@bflipp @molly0xfff Nobody gives a fuck about "centralized" or "decentralized" except a bunch of old-timey internet nerds (I include myself in that group). The users want a platform that lets them chat with their friends and acquaintances and parasocial crushes (and yell at the media) with as little friction as possible. They Do Not Care who owns it, so long as they're not assaulted with nazi propaganda every time they log in.
