I personally am disinclined to invest in any other corporate-owned platforms that won’t make minimum promises that they will not be subject to capture. Obviously it is difficult to guarantee, but governance and structure go a long way.

Right now, Bluesky isn’t meeting the bare minimums required to deserve anyone’s trust. That’s an easy fix, but they have to take the first step by at least acknowledging they are asking for it.

structural deficits.
1) publication of a firm “trust story,” with full disclosure of funders and their expectations,
2) a second Bluesky service run by a different operator,
3) proliferation of “N” Bluesky services run by multiple operators.
From a creator equity perspective, the only options that make sense are to 1) build my own mailing list…
I don’t rule out participation on other sites, but so far none of them have a “trust story” that is… worth trusting.
Until then, it feels like it will become a target for capture, and that needs to change.
