Some key features driving BlueSky's success are:
1) Starter packs
2) Block lists
3) Don't be completely terrible to the Black women early adopters, who have driven adoption of every platform from FaceBook to Instagram to Twitter to Vine.
Notice I didn't even say "Be great to Black women early adopters!" I just said don't be completely terrible.
None of the things above require millions in funding. Funding is not the issue. Ideology and prioritization are.
