It's absolutely mind-boggling how the Bluesky team still has this huge amount of trust put on them when they're the same team that was actively destroying Twitter pre-Musk. This got memory holed almost entirely because of TDS. What makes it funny is Jack Dorsey bailing out on them and trying to come off as relatable to X, as if it's water under the bridge and not something that was hurting an entire country.
What bothers me the most about Bluesky though is how loose things are compared to X. Block scripts are shared around and can be easily abused, likes aren't actually private and can be scraped via API, DNS records don't get flushed unless you contact specific staff members, and so on. It's ridiculous. The only plus I can see there is that it's purely company-based and none of their support is outsourced, but that's weak compared to over a year of overdue problems and openings to chaos.
I am not an Elon bootlicker and I stand as a centrist if I were to label myself anything. I'll even admit that some changes made on X were done for frivolous reasons (likes being hidden likely due to the owner getting caught liking Asian porn), though in the end it's come to a great benefit on a social level. It definitely feels much more secure than its dubious competition, which those on said competition don't want you to believe.
To expect one-sided perfection out of any social media website is ridiculous, though unfortunately that seems to be the goal of Bluesky. They already culminated an incredibly spastic audience and history is doomed to repeat itself. Hoping the same doesn't happen to X.
