Oh damn, that’s a lot of cross-posts. I didn’t know this had already been posted so many times before.

Yeah its a great read that people enjoyed a lot.
One of the best parts is where she explains that bluesky cant scale down. You can run a actively pub server on a potato clock by design, but bluesky can not ever be decoupled from a “eye of god” central architecture. The best case scenario for atpronto is wikipedia or the Internet archive hosting a competing federated instance, but neither have steppes into that “Millions/month” role.

Thank you so much for the additional context!
I’ve never felt inclined to regard bluesky with hostility, but definitely wouldn’t call myself a fan; honestly that was a really thoughtful reply and improved my impression of it as a platform
I hope they can avoid the pitfalls of venture capital funding and build a platform that doesn’t suck, even if mastodon will be my microblogging home on the internet :)
