Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users.
MarkalAlvarez@lemmy.world 1 day agoI don’t think it will go down the same path as Twitter, since Bluesky is open source and available on Github other devs will have the possibility to improve it or create a better version of it but with the more users joining it might necessary to monetize it to better cover the costs. I would love to see everyone switching to the Fediverse but it’s not very intuitive for the average end user with the instances and the fact that you need to target a user and an instance to follow it

*an incomplete subset of Bluesky is opensource
MarkalAlvarez@lemmy.world 1 day ago
what do you mean by incomplete subset ? The code is available on Github and can be compiled

The entire appview layer is proprietary in practice and in spirit.

can you please be more specific ? What proprietary parts you found ? Did you read the code ? Again code is open source and anyone can read it and modify it, there is no proprietary, the license used is MIT not another weird license that limit the code from being used for other purposes like commercial stuff
