The notion of #Bluesky being promoted as a benevolent, open, decentralised standard for the social web never did add up:
* it was funded by Twitter which stands to lose a 44Bn market share if an open, decentralised alternative thrives
* it dilutes an already existing and thriving incumbent: the fediverse (which uses a different protocol: ActivityPub)
* it was secretive about its project, the exact opposite of what an open standard requires
Conclusion: Bluesky is probably a sabotage effort
