Well, heck. I don't want to give Jack Dorsey any more of my time and attention. 
 @b74ff7b8 good news: jack is gone from bluesky. 
 @fc3ee9ea 

Oh! 
 @b74ff7b8 @fc3ee9ea Did Jack Dorsey leave the company or just stop posting on Bluesky? 
 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 he complained about a bunch of choices the company had made, then put a bunch of money into nostr, then *deleted* his account. He was never working at Bluesky. 
 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 @fc3ee9ea My main criticisms of Bluesky at the moments are 1. it's still centralized, 2. it's invite-only and 3. the content posted there isn't even public.

It is, factually, a centralized, corporate platform. Until that changes, I honestly don't get why people go there, after the Twitter Debacle. 
 @2b442032 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 yeah, I get that aspect of it. But they're close to federating, and the main reason it's been delayed has been due to realizations of some of the trust & safety challenges, which it feels like (hopefully) they're taking seriously. 
 @fc3ee9ea @66087130 @b74ff7b8 I'm in the "seeing is believing" camp on federation. Like, is Threads federated yet? Is tumblr? 
 @2b442032 @66087130 @b74ff7b8 yup. i have no problem with those who are skeptical. that's completely understandable.
