BlueSky wants you to trust them, but they raised $100 million from a crypto fund almost a YEAR AGO and didn't tell anyone.

@dangillmor you can't be a profitable investment without some sort of user exploitation - adverts, tracking, data mining

BSky is just a Meta waiting game

I worked for Bain Capital once. This doesn't suprise me at all.

@MatWright @dangillmor

Maybe try to pump it up and sell it for billions before the next presidential election. They're harvesting data like crazy.

[pamelabarroway@mstdn.social]

@dangillmor Yeah, that's a hard pass.

[yiojoshua@mstdn.social]

@dangillmor well they're a company they have customer relationship with customers not non plutonic relationships

@dangillmor bain are on the BDS boycott list for funding Israeli defence companies. So will users who do not support Israel's actions close their accounts...?

@dangillmor I don't see how "they secretly took $100M from crypto grifters 12 months ago" is any more damning than "they publicly took $14M from crypto grifters 17 months ago" but if it gets a new batch of people to realize that they have been telling you who they are and you should believe them, I'll take it. https://jwz.org/b/ykbY

@dangillmor BSky is a closet fascist organization

@dangillmor It's a good thing Graber stepped down then. If we asked her what's up, we'll likely just get "WAFFLES!" from her anyway.

Fuck Blue Sky

@dangillmor explanation from Mike Masnick who sits on the Bluesky board: "Team was just crazy busy and overwhelmed and timing of announcement just kept slipping."

@dangillmor Whelp, Bluesky is about to go down the shitter then.

The money bros destroy everything they touch.

[mariafarrell@mastodon.social]

@_elena wow, that is just some crazy busy bullshit

[pettet8@mastodon.social]

@dangillmor no thanks too many algorithms.. I love Fediverse/Mastodon..

@benh bless you so much. Please just mute notifications and walk away from this thread

@dangillmor From the land we fled. Twitter owned in part by russians oligarchs. https://www.dw.com/en/what-do-xs-alleged-ties-to-russian-oligarchs-mean-for-musk/a-70088598

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@mariafarrell right? It would have been better to say nothing at all, rather than "we were too busy"

[killick@dmv.community]

@benh

It's not a steering wheel. GOATSE was an early internet meme of a man reaching back and stretching his butthole wide open. Consider it lucky that you learned about it this way.
