This is why Bluesky is in a dangerous place: not because it is backed by VCs, not because it is a for-profit entity, but because it has captive users and no constraints. It's a great party in a sealed building with no fire exits:

@pluralistic see this is the key captive users and no constraints? That's a contradiction. If the users are captive that's a giant constraint!
No, this is the nonsense that people post around here about BlueSky, and we should identify the silliness.
In many ways that platform is better than this one, and it's worth recognizing that, not fighting against it with arguments so don't really make sense.
