WOW.

With the news that Bluesky closed a $100M Series B (!!) last April and didn't tell anyone (??) until now, it's just become far more obvious that Bluesky is inching very close to its full enshittification era.

You don't raise that kind of money unless you're ready for *massive* capture of eyeballs and ecosystem control.

I am telling you right now, Bluesky in another year or two will look very, *very* different. (And tbh, it's not that great now.)

@jaredwhite IIRC Corey Doctorow has minions running an independent BlueSky server. What happens to it? Does BlueSky just cut him off from the network?

@lemgandi @jaredwhite yes. corporate ringfencing works by ringfencing corporation controlled items to be inside the fence and cutting off non-corporation controlled items outside of the fence.

@falcennial @jaredwhite Bummer for the folks who set it up then. But he was right not to risk losing his work.
