So a lot of breath has been used up on how federated or distributed or open BlueSky is or is not (the answer is, to the best of my understanding, "somewhat").

Just acknolwedge this is your fomo talking, and go make a bluesky account. Don't try to turn it into some kind of meaningful philosophical process. You can make an account without a logorrhetic declaration of spiritual progress.

It's owned by crypto dipshits and is therefore destined to fail no matter what technical decisions they make in the meantime. They're venture-backed and the bills will come due. No amount of licensing can save them from shit-ass leadership of the type who is already discussing subscription models. The engagement hacking has already begun with starter packs.

None of this is to say you can't use whatever you want, including Bluesky. But please limit the number of words and red herrings you wrap around "I want the reach".

@khm give me a break man, I made the account last week and said I was going to evaluate it and openly discuss my thoughts.

@khm if you're so sick of hearing about it just add it to your filter list instead of being a dick to me
