Yes, and aren't those 100% truthful and carved in stone, and money is never a motivating factor. Be serious.

Why are we here then, if we didn’t think it would be different?

I can't tell you why you're here, but I am in no way naive enough to believe any service is provided for free or will protect my data, and certainly not forever. It costs money to keep Bluesky running; where, exactly, do you think that money is coming from??

Why on earth would you think a huge enough cash offer would not motivate the owners to sell? Bluesky is a BUSINESS, not a public service run by a charity.

I’m not disputing that. People are people. Greed is seductive. But my question still stands. Why be here if you think this platform is as bad as the others?

Idky YOU are here, but I enjoy the users. AT PRESENT.

It's pretty weird you seem intent on marrying the users to the owners, like they aren't two distinct parts of the platform.

I’m going to go ahead and back away. I was trying to make a point, perhaps poorly, about the poison of cynicism. Have a great night!

You too. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to argue, but I realize it got somewhat contentious. I think I misread your meaning. Be well.

Also, you are correct regarding cynicism. I probably have too much of it.

😘😉

at some point sure but also that's like trusting Google's don't be evil mission statement.

The sad part is in the before-fore times…we kinda did? 🤷🏼‍♂️
