#bluesky is going the way of #twitter
with new leadership due to financial pressure, they are going to cave and ruin some aspect of it
My unfounded speculation is some #crypto tie-in shit, since it's owned and run by #cryptobros
also as @mastodonmigration noted,
it's interesting timing with the #midterms coming up
Enjoy bluesky folks!
but its days are numbered

We'll see. This seems plausible enough long term, given the financial incentives, but from where I sit (firmly on the outside) this doesn't look like a step in that direction.
The real question for me is to what extent the protocol will be independent of the company. Lately Cory Doctorow reports that at this point he is managing his own bluesky server and does not have to interact with the company (and its terrible terms of service) at all while doing that.
