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.

Also, they are using the present tense rather than the future. It's factual that they don't use blockchain right now, and that's all they were sure about. They didn't say "we will never use it" and didn't even say anything more wiggleroom-ish either such as "we have no intention of using it".
All they said about their future plans was they wouldn't "hyperfinancialize" the "social experience". This is so vague as to be meaningless in practice. What does that actually rule out?
