“In an interview on Thursday with CNBC’s “Money Movers,” Graber said Bluesky’s open design is intended to give users the option of leaving the service with all of their followers, which could thwart potential acquisition efforts.
“The billionaire proof is in the way everything is designed, and so if someone bought or if the Bluesky company went down, everything is open source,” Graber said. “What happened to Twitter couldn’t happen to us in the same ways, because you would always have the option to immediately move without having to start over.”
Graber was referring to the way millions of users left Twitter, now X, after Musk purchased the company in 2022. Bluesky now has over 21 million users, still dwarfed by X and Threads, which Facebook’s parent debuted in July 2023.”

Many a young tech mogul has started out with lofty ideals and lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.

Does anyone else feel like this whole debacle and the creation of alternate platforms will simply result in a bunch of separate echo chambers? Kinda like the various sub-Reddit forums… No real discourse will occur.
