Mastodon MigrationAll you brainiacs who gotten taken in by Elon Musk, then taken in by Mark Zuckerberg, guess what? You are now getting taken in by the Bluesky Blockchain Capital bros.
Seriously, why do you imagine it will be any different this time?
They get you to invest time and energy building a following on their platform. Mine the data. Corral you into someplace safe that they can marginalized at will. Then at the next inflection point, like an election, they shut you down. And what do you do? Go looking for the next corporate overlord certain that the next time will be different.
It will not be different.
Until we own the platforms we write for, we will always be subject to their will, and our resistance ultimately futile.

'But... but... but... maybe Blockchain Capital LLC will turn out to be good guys after all? And sure, it's run by one of Steve Bannon's mates, but honestly I can't even remember which side he's on now.'
When it comes to misplaced trust, people's naivety never ceases to astound me.
Yup, Steve Bannon, who crafted this entire media capture, disinformation, manipulation and marginalization strategy over ten years ago, and who has played the left like a fiddle. That's where the herd is stampeding to today.
