Bluesky is not a protocol, it’s client app built on top of a protocol. So while it’s possible to sell the Bluesky app, any other person can spin off their own Bluesky (as we’re currently seeing other alternative clients).
The protocol enables all features we enjoy. So while I t’s possible for owners of a federation to restrict you on their server, they can’t prevent you from using the protocol, which means you can easily join another federation and continue “skeeting” away with your data and followers and all in tact
I actually didn’t the name the person on purpose. So the promise can still be wriggled out of in 10 years. But at least we got an answer and we know the intention. What more can you ask for?
