"Unfortunately, Bluesky is a corporate-backed product. And, we know what happened to Twitter 🤦‍♂️ Sure, they have made it open-source, and could soon let you host your Bluesky instance like Mastodon seamlessly. Until that happens, Bluesky is a controlled entity with Jack Dorsey as one of the board members. Even if they complete their federation network and let you self-host an instance easily, Bluesky as the primary platform can have advertisements and other monetization strategies. ...When it comes to the privacy policy, Bluesky does clarify it that they may use your personal information for marketing/research and with third-party services. That being said, it is not a good privacy policy for web service in 2024." https://itsfoss.com/bluesky-vs-mastodon/ #Mastodon #Fediverse
