   @slwkf1 @alx @pluralistic Same for me. Can't leave #whatsapp unless I want to cut ties with my fanmily. #facebook is simply a big address book for me. I'm reachable there but never post.

     This is why I'm shocked Bluesky or any other privately-held network gets any freedom advocate's support.

     Bluesky for EG offers us no guarantees they won't choose VC money over user interests OR not block users from leaving somehow, despite #freeourfeeds promises..

     It's painful leaving people and resources behind but that's a blackmail/switching cost private social media will NEVER make easier on us...whether they're owned by billionaires or just millionaires.
