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 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."

I have no words.

@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..

[hwll@sunny.garden]

@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.

"Moving from x to bluesky" = "Moving from this shitty tech bro to that shitty tech bro.

@dangillmor

@_elena @dangillmor I see he's been practicing his Elon style "I think this is what super geniuses talk like" clipped sentence writing

[kristen_d@mastodon.social]

@dangillmor Bluesky can go fuck itself. Same shitbag who started Twitter and sucks up to Nazis started that cesspool. No thank you. #GetFucked #Bluesky

@dangillmor It’s the inevitability of things like this that makes the decision to stay away from corporate monoliths so much easier.

@dangillmor
I'm missing something, I guess.

I trust BlueSky to the same extent that I trust my landline. It is a medium of communication.

So I know that's not your point.

I'm often considered elderly, possibly because of age.
What am I missing?

[jonw@social.lol]

@dangillmor I’m missing the nuance here. Why is everyone upset? I’m not saying there isn’t a reason to be so, just legit don’t understand.

[stux@mstdn.social]

@dangillmor Luckily crypto has always proven to be trustful and not scammy at all!

[codinghorror@infosec.exchange]

@jwz @dangillmor I'm thinking any "social" software that isn't open source and distributed can never really be trusted.
