Unfortunately BlueSky have had a bit of a PR disaster and then a following
"skeet" (sky-tweet) stream.

Jack Dorsey, founder of bluesky, made a post yesterday, which linked to an
article entitled "BlueSky is a scam"

https://fiatjaf.com/ab1127fb.html

While quite a harsh critique, the article has technical merit.

The gist of it is that bluesky was created to be an open system, but is far
too closed, right now.

It could be turned around, but I think they need to act, and open source
their app ASAP.  And perhaps get in some new people with a more open
mentality.
