There's a reason I look askance at the widespread adoption of Bluesky-the-company's product. Because it is a product, and a corporate one at that.

I remember when Google used to make money by doing nice things for the open web, when Twitter played well with Instagram, when the tech companies of yore saw value in playing nice. I also remember what happened next.

I bridge, and I don't block on bridging. I laud that Bluesky is doing more than the average startup to uphold the open web. But I also have precisely zero trust that they'll keep doing that once they've got enough market power.

I've said before, I don't even think ill of Graber et al (aside from the Singal thing, that was heinous). My unease is about power structures, not individuals.
