I'm not really posting here yet, because I don't yet see how bluesky will have an outcome any different to twitter's. AFAICT there's no known plan for profitability or even sustainability, so no way that I can see to avoid the exact incentives that made twitter what it is.

while we were (mostly) okay with being able to see who liked an individual tweet, quite a few privacy and security folks at twitter considered the “full like history” to be perhaps its biggest foundational design mistake.

Some UX feedback: the "X followed you" notifications don't have a "follow back" button, which makes it a bit tedious to do so. This is especially important in this early "bootstrapping" stage, where a bunch of my social network is joining and so I need to follow-back a couple dozen people at a time.

Learning more about Bluesky, and TIL PBLLCs, which balance public benefit against shareholder financial interests. Neat!
Curious though: Bluesky's PBLLC blogpost says initial funding for the PBLLC was provided by Twitter in 2021. So... what's the current ownership split of bsky?

Hi! Look I'll be honest, my main place right now is over on the activitypub-based fediverse, so in the short term don't expect much from this account. I'm mostly curious about the tech and getting a feel for the vibe of the place :)
