@ygalanter @krans @vincent also, one thing I appreciate about the bsky team is that they are explicit that they view the future company as an adversary and are building with that in mind. That's important. They're not only not controlled by a billionaire, they're building so that they *can't* be controlled by a billionaire.

1. We want to do right by yall, and that means being forward looking. Our culture doc includes the phrase “The company is a future adversary” to remind us that we won’t always be at the helm – or at our best – and that we should always give people a safe exit from our company It’s weird at times to frame our priorities as protecting users from us, but that’s exactly what we’re trying to do. The Bluesky team is made up of users. None of us come from big tech companies. We all came together because we were frustrated by the experience of feeling helpless about how our online communities were being run. We don’t want to give that same feeling to other people now that we’re the builders. When we build an open protocol, we’re giving out the building blocks. We want to start from the premise that we’re not always right or best, that when we are right or best then it might not last, and that communities should be empowered to build away from us.
