Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users.
MarkalAlvarez@lemmy.world 18 hours agocan 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

The code isn’t available for the parts that aren’t open source? Just because a component of a system is open source doesn’t mean the entire system can be called open source.
That is a dangerous conflation to make in public discourse about this as it warps the conversation in artificial ways.
Make NO mistake if the entire system was actually open source they would have no way to lucratively monetize bluesky, and that is precisely what they will do.
The CEO of Bluesky has gone on record saying they haven’t ruled out monetizing through forcing ads on a system. Do you not understand that is functionally impossible to force ads on a fully open source system?
how can you be so stunningly naive

can you please provide a URL or youtube video or anything with the claims you are describing? For the third time the code to generate the website is open source, if they have some other parts that are not open source which parts are you talking about ?
It’s not about being naive it’s about you evading the questions and making claims based on some theories heard on internet. I would rather prefer to see these claims, just so I can understand better why people are throwing garbage at a website that it’s simply providing a better user experience than X is doing at the moment.
I asked you about the code and you didn’t reply, just to name one, many companies like Meta have some code that is open source like React but like many other things are proprietary but they are indicated on their website if they are proprietary or not.
