We're coming to the point where decentralized social media contains the only structures we're going to have left that aren't completely controlled by hard-right interests

The one centralized holdout is Bluesky, which means either that's going to need to be decentralized, or it's going to be the next right-wing target over this year probably

@cwebber Bluesky is owned by the same techbro who started Twit and sold it to The Bad Musk. What do you think is going to happen to it?

@The_Icarian Afaik Dorsey no longer has any governance role in Bluesky, though he did arrange the initial funding

@cwebber @The_Icarian it's true, but they still have very sketchy people among the investors and the recent valuation round raised more concerns in this area. As I said elsewhere, I'm glad BS exists in this moment, but the investors are still a valid source of concern medium term
