     Nice article. Thank you. Completely agree. As the inestimable Cory Doctorow recently wrote:

     "I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will."

     Bluesky is a honey trap. Mastodon on the other hand is an open defensible system. There is no real choice if the goal is independence from corporate manipulation and control of content.
