Dan offered to kindly answer questions on Bluesky architecture, and I was wondering, could it be hijacked by a billionaire?

His fascinating answer is here (see the post this was in reply to for a bunch of other great insights):

Miguel de Icaza (@migueldeicaza.bsky.social)

I enjoyed your discussion on apps the other day when Cory blogger about mastodon. One thing that wasn’t clear to me, the “app” itself for bluesky that we use to browse these feeds, could this app itself be hijacked by an Elon-like and undermine the ecosystem?

Bluesky Social (bsky.app)

@Migueldeicaza so the answer (behind all of that complexity) is yes, right?

@zachleat @Migueldeicaza sounds like there’ll be an archive of the data but everyone has to get new accounts (and clients) to post

[phillmv@hachyderm.io]

@zachleat so… it’s not resilient to a billionaire, at all?

@phillmv correct to my understanding
