“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”

So, it's a trap house. Treat it as such.

Show up. Eat the food. Smoke... Stuff. But at the end of the day, this is not your home. GTFO.

But leave your information for fellow people you meet there.

@markfoden @pluralistic Which makes it so annoying that the author of this piece is trying to raise 30 million to build his own club where he promised to not block the fire exits.

Because the Masto-club that’s already on the other side of the street, with functioning fire exits, isn’t cool enough.

@jornane @markfoden

I am not in any way affiliated with the management of this project. I will not see $1, let alone $30m. I am not employed by it, paid by it, or building it. I endorsed it. That is, I think it's a good idea.

Moreover, I've been using Mastodon far longer than you have, I use it far more than you do. I did not say - and do not think - Mastodon "isn't cool enough."

It's fine to consider the source when reading, but inventing nonsense about that source is pretty foolish.

@pluralistic @markfoden Ah well then you won't have a problem showing me your street cred card. checks date. Yep, checks out, you're longer on the fediverse than me, and your card is also more worn than mine, so you indeed use it more.

My point stands though. Mastodon has fire exits, we know it does. BlueSky has not as of now. All that good-idea 30 million BlueSky-alternative you endorsed has going for it, is a pinky swear promise that it will have fire exits, and they'll be kept open.
