Now, the above thread is at least in part also about bluesky.

Not because I have anything against bluesky directly (some of what they've done is really interesting. I'm sure a great community is forming there. The early days of a network are always a lot of fun) but because Bluesky has investors now, and those investors are going to expect a return.

And it'll take a while. Things will be great for a while. There will be a lot of fun to be had and a lot of attention to go around and very little that you are viscerally upset about.

But, eventually, the piper will call the tune. You don't raise that kind of money from blockchain VCs for an altruistic project, it just doesn't happen.

Eventually, that platform will also turn on you.
