Now Bluesky's Jay Graber is simply lying.

“If a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky and took it over, or I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people didn’t really like, then they could fork off and go on to other applications.”

Of course, this makes absolutely no sense, but tech media dutifully just prints it.

What does "fork off and go on to other applications" mean?

What is it she is even saying?

Getting really tired of this gaslighting BS.

Let's get real. If a billionaire comes in and buys #Bluesky, the 30 million users who have fled there from other toxic platforms will be stuck on the billionaire Bluesky toxic platform. Sure, they can "fork off" and make a Mastodon account on the Fediverse, but that's their only option.

This 'billionaire proof' marketing campaign of hers is not only disingenuous, it is false advertising, and should give everyone pause.

@mastodonmigration But a Bluesky fork part of the ATmosphere protocol might be a great idea. No?

@elosezno Yes, and there are several different projects working on different aspects of it. They're not there yet but there's a fair amount of momentum.
