@DavidBHimself One of the things that always gets me is one of the unwritten house rules is "Not using data for other purposes" and people used that to dismay Bridgy Fed. But... Bridgy Fed is essentially just another instance. And any instance could use that data for nefarious purposes anyways.
Its more of a case of the fediverse attempting to push Bluesky aside but they may have just shot themselves in the foot too.
