This was fascinating to see unfold. What if there was a social network that had taste and rejected things that suck?

Is it a failure of Bluesky to never become the global town square, if it means being a place where a brand can't find it a safe space to promote itself?

Can a social network thread the needle of having enough traffic to be worthwhile but not so much as to attract the Eternal September?

What a great idea, scaring companies probing bluesky. That surely won't backfire and will cement bluesky as a Xitter alternative.

Bluesky audience is certain kind, more left leaning, finding corporations evil. Adobe's experiment shows that it is unlikely any big corp could go there any time until the audience is more diverse, less cancel culture.

Maybe, just maybe, the platforms that we use to engage socially with other human beings don't also have to be organized around engaging commercially with brands.

It's already a Twitter alternative that's superior by virtue of being in its pre-enshittification era.

It may never be a Twitter alternative in the sense of making anyone a billionaire, but I'm okay with that.
