What's troubling, too, is the "tech will save us" approach taken by the devs. Nothing in the history of social media suggests this is remotely true.
I follow most of the devs. They're really nice people and open to chatting with users.
But there's a lot of breathtaking techbro naivety in there. They really don't know how little they know about social media and how people behave.
Take, as an example, domain names. It's similar to creating your own instance, but Bluesky is far less a fediverse than you think. Bluesky, the company, controls a lot more than Mastodon does.
And they sell domain names. So I could switch to be @OutOntheMoors.satan.social as a joke (don't hate on them, they're fine), but there's a lot of ways I could get banned from the entire site without doing anything wrong.
