Isn’t this the strangest experience? Reading content produced by people. No ads, no AI cruft. Just… real people. I don’t think it can last but for now it is SO refreshing!

Well, Bluesky is clean, easy, and free. How long can it remain so? Is there ANY way to avoid the enshitification that comes when money becomes the focus?
Can anyone suggest a way to avoid it? Because as soon as it happens, Mu$k & co. can trash it.
