Comment on How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth

It’s an alternative to Twitter in the same way Pepsi is an alternative to Coke, it’s still essentially the same thing. This is just trading one really shitty corporation for a different not as shitty yet corporation. As it grows it will eventually become the exact same thing and everyone will be back here celebrating the rise of some other corporate social-media network.
Currently it’s like tbr difference between Pepsi, and a soda company which is currently, publicly owned by a madman, trying to poison its customers, and spread Nazi shit and fascism.
A little wider gap than you’re saying.
Sure, Pepsi could become that other thing. But it’s not currently.

It’s kind of not. It does appear to be at least theoretically possible to self-host any or all of the major components. Unlike ActivityPub projects, however, it doesn’t seem like anybody is doing that and offering services to the public.

All it takes is a couple investors and that all goes bye-bye.
