Let me be clear about why I singled out this #Bluesky user / she / woman.
Blocking someone on Bluesky is book burning. You can not READ her posts. I ran across REPLIES to her post on a #HashTag from a post 11 months ago. And you can not READ.
When you block someone on Bluesky you ban them from READING!!!

I constantly post about #Dublin and #JamesJoyce
On #Bluesky I click hashtags and find I am #blocked - people are so dehumanizing with computer worship on Bluesky. I have never commented or posted to this person, yet when I was following 11 month old messages I find I am blocked by them
For what crime? I posted about James Joyce? People are so dehumanizing on #Bluesky #FWakeBlockHappy

We now have a 10k+ community (likely more if you count lurkers) that could possibly survive by themselves if #Bluesky PBC was suddenly bought by Elon Trumpenberg and shut down #atproto

We're told that it's all ok now cause fully independent versions of #bluesky exist. Like blacksky. Even if the VCs were somehow dumb enough to not plan for a mass abandonment of their service once they decided to finally cash in on their years of investment (even though the PR has always been "credible exit"), how do people expect the new services to pay for their ongoing costs?
If you want a community, you have to treat it like one. Pay for it, help build it. Otherwise the bankers always win.

Wichtig!

It's hard enough to convince people that great stuff can exist if we all just work together and then get them to contribute, but #bluesky is forcing us to try to make that argument while they offer a free alternative paid for by others and the promise that even when they eventually stop and ask for it paid back many times over, providing that return will barely impact the service, if at all. Cause it's "decentralized".
It saps our spirit and pointing all this out makes you the asshole.

In September of 2025, under pressure to show they are really 'decentralized' and to great fanfare #Bluesky announced they were spinning out the "one centralized component" of their network to a new fully independent Switzerland based organization.
Creating an Independent Public Ledger of Credentials (PLC) Directory Organization

Since then crickets. No information on progress. Structure? Funding? Ownership? Who will it employ? Will the financials be public?
It took me exactly 3 seconds to search accounts that suggest accounts in mastodon.
That was SO DARN HARD.
Unpossible for blewski herd, I understand.
unless it's on a STARTER PACK or mentioned by some influencer account paying for bot follower count, it's not possible to find, amirite.
(which is why starter packs are a VERY BAD IDEA)
