Dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39274438

why do we say dupe on orange site? this is like the most trivial inconsequential thing to call out, let this be duped. This is going to be news to someone.

to add some more substance to my comment this is how I see Bluesky's virality/stickiness playing out: everyone's going to move to it, it's going to be an unofficial but incompatible "fediverse2", folks will pretend the actual Fediverse doesn't exist, and then the actual Bluesky public benefit corporation (or some derivative, come on guys you wanna get filthy rich) will eventually turn to a data brokerage/ advertising play to enshittify the entire thing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A Twitter alternative.

by Jack Dorsey (he co-founded Twitter)

Jack directed Twitter to fund Bluesky when he was CEO of Twitter, but Jay Graber is the CEO of Bluesky and the technology & app was created by Jay and her team (which I'm a part of).
