Is BlueSky actually legit? I got rid of Twitter, Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, and as much of the Google Eco as I can right now.

I have both Lemmy (obviously) and Mastadon. BkueSky was always a question mark for me. It’s not federated and it doesn’t show ads and it doesn’t ask for a subscription.

Color me a cynical fuck; but, I am wondering if BlueSky is legit enough with privacy and surveillance.

Anyone smarter than myself able to give me some guidance?

  • That’s the neat thing, they don’t. Some venture capital dudes are just betting they can get it big enough to sell off to somebody else who will come up with some way to monetize your data. It’s just twitter all over again, but this time marketed to #Resist Democrats as something to doom scroll while they have brunch.
