   yeah, it was weird seeing people whom I guess were actually forced out of birdsite come here, and we hung around and it was kind of cool, and now we see the ones dumping native advertisements to leave for bitcoinsky ?

     There is of course a lot of buzz around bsky at the moment, much of it positive. I am tempted, I'll be honest, but I remain highly skeptical.

     I don't trust VC in any capacity, and when you take the VC money, eventually you will do the VC's bidding, irrespective of what values you *say you hold. Material analysis says that the material interests will dictate terms.

     What I'm ultimately saying is that if you ever got *any utility out of Xitter, for professional or personal reasons, you might be comfortable on bsky. People who are fleeing Xitter *now, in 2024, clearly have found themselves a refuge from Elon's racist passion project.

     But if you hated Xitter before, you will eventually hate bsky too, I am confident in that if little else.
