Archived version, for posterity.

Take note Bluesky fans: Your "benevolent" controlling nonprofit can quickly become a for-profit if enough cash is thrown at the governing board...

To address the blue sky comment. Yeah sure it's possible but at the same time so what, it's a protocol like activity pub. Obviously you don't have a problem with that.

So if blue sky goes tits up then everyone can just go to some other plant form without having to lose all their content. So it's fine.

Meanwhile openAI despite the name was never open source. Not that I really know what that would even look like for an AI.

I don't think anyone else runs a BlueSky server right now except for BlueSky. At last not one with any substantial amount of users. Imo this makes BlueSky a lot less resilient compared to Lemmy or other federated social media.
