I’m an engineer currently writing and shipping production Rust for an anti-ransomware company.

I drink a LOT of tea, and read a lot of Sci-fi. I used to have many many hobbies including metal working, wood working, circuit design, 3d printing, you name it, but these days my most prominent hobby is anxiety.

I’m an American *and* an anti-fascist.

My avatar is a humanoid robot with a sword sheathed behind its back.

Mike Masnick, who sits on the board of #Bluesky, claims the team was too busy to announce the series B funding (see screenshot).

But something is fishy.

Even the VC firm - Bain Capital Crypto - isn't listing Bluesky anywhere on their website: https://baincapitalcrypto.com/portfolio/

Why the mystery? Was Bluesky afraid of a public backlash & asked to keep the information under wraps?

Sorry if I keep repeating myself but I will forever be skeptical of Bluesky and think of the tale of the scorpion and the frog.
