Bluesky is NOT a cult.
We’re just millions of people, proselytizing to our friends and neighbors, asking if they have heard the good news about Bluesky.
And of course we have a charismatic leader. Her name is… well, I mean, technically her name is Bluesky.

TIL that the CEO of Bluesky is legally named Bluesky
![Lantian Graber was born in 1991 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the daughter of an acupuncturist mother of Chinese descent and a math teacher father of Swiss descent.[1][2] Her mother grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and emigrated in the 1980s, and named her "Lantian," meaning "blue sky" in Mandarin Chinese, as a wish for her to have "boundless freedom".[1] The similarity between Graber's given name and Bluesky is purely coincidental; Jack Dorsey had chosen the name "Bluesky" for the research initiative before Graber became involved with the project.[3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:di7epi7naqi3rharpcogc5sf/bafkreib2fcljx3nqljyttkbf6dbvgf4yidz6eoittzgil6xkhulyt6o3du@jpeg)
