   There is one simple reason why Bluesky is now about to lap Masto AGAIN and become the official alternative to Xchitter:

   Bluesky is basically pre-MusKKKrat Twitter, but without the right-wing manipulation, WITH actual attempts at safety protection, and a desire please those not necessarily interested in immense political Battle Royals.

   If it adopts a more progressive stance on sex work and porn expression without ceding ground to spammers, it may yet cook Xchitter and reduce it to Gab 2.0.

     @AnthonyJK If my theory of pornocalypse is true, and the things I've read about venture capital involvement in Bluesky are also true, then evolution in a progressive direction on sex work and porn is impossible for them.

     Super-summarized: financial inflection events are the main driver of pornocalypse. Venture capital always has one eye on the exit. Which means a VC-funded company will always tend to get more pornocalyptic, not less.

     I say all this in abstract, I've never looked at Bluesky.
