Folks, please be nice to BlueSky.
You don't want to be labelled as a critic, and kindly remember they are really decentralized and only took $100+ million in venture capital to improve the social web.
Last but not least, don't pay attention to the CEO responding to criticism by responding with "Are you paying us? Where?" followed up with "You could try a posters strike. I hear that works".
They are great. ATProto is the future. They aren't like other girls.
They care ❤️
Where does “board member saying something that’s obviously nonsense about the company finances” fit on our hierarchy of market-legible signals?
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.
