    @fedward @doriane What I'd consider the synthesis theory:

    Bluesky started as an attempt by Jack Dorsey to neutralize the Fediverse as a threat to Twitter.

    Then it got handed off to some protocol designers who were earnestly thinking about free, decentralized networks, but sketching within Dorsey's lines.

    Then it got handed off to this company of ex-Twitter engineers, who don't necessarily care about (and haven't been trying to preserve—features like DMs, bookmarks go around it) centralization

    @fedward @doriane (cont'd)

    …then this group of ex-Twitter engineers are trying to operate a website for this group of ex-Twitter users. And the ex-Twitter users may or may not care about *either* the things the things the decentralized-protocol designer cared about (which may not be the same *kind* of decentralization Mastodon users care about), *or* the things the ex-Twitter engineers care about (like garnering investment rounds and stock options).

    And then to all this, you add "vibecoding".
