Elena Rossini ⁂@blogdiva if you think about it, it’s the last semi-mainstream app/platform not owned by a broligarch (who control Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, X, TikTok US and Substack)
Even #Bluesky, a supposed alternative to the decaying toxic mess known as X, is a giant data trap.
“In April 2025, Bluesky raised $100 million in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto”
“The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and other interactions” (including blocks + mutelists are public lists).
Anyone who doesn’t see the next move needs only look to #Reddit.
Thanks @_elena for drawing attention to this.

@blogdiva 🎯🎯🎯 and blocks, which are public information.
You can infer so much about someone from the accounts they are blocking. And guess who the most blocked accounts are? No need to guess actually, it’s all out in the open on clearsky.app
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.

soOoOo…
been pondering this Bluesky mess, and i think i found a reason for why Bluesky executives didn't want people to find out they took 100 million from Bain Capital:
❝ "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and o͟t͟h͟e͟r͟ i͟n͟t͟e͟r͟a͟c͟t͟i͟o͟n͟s͟ ❞
what other interactions are there beyond posts, likes and comments?
oh, right: DIRECT MESSAGES.
so is this why they kept quiet? that the money was contingent upon them redefining public to include DMs?
