   “Bluesky is in a dangerous place: not because it is backed by VCs, not because it is a for-profit entity, but because it has captive users and no constraints. It's a great party in a sealed building with no fire exits”

     I am not in any way affiliated with the management of this project. I will not see $1, let alone $30m. I am not employed by it, paid by it, or building it. I endorsed it. That is, I think it's a good idea.

     Moreover, I've been using Mastodon far longer than you have, I use it far more than you do. I did not say - and do not think - Mastodon "isn't cool enough."

     It's fine to consider the source when reading, but inventing nonsense about that source is pretty foolish.

     @markfoden @pluralistic Which makes it so annoying that the author of this piece is trying to raise 30 million to build his own club where he promised to not block the fire exits.

     Because the Masto-club that’s already on the other side of the street, with functioning fire exits, isn’t cool enough.
