In 2023, Bluesky's CTO Paul Frazee was asked what would happen if Bluesky ever turned against its users. His answer:

it would look something like this: bluesky has gone evil. there's a new alternative called freesky that people are rushing to. I'm switching to freesky

That's the same argument people made about Twitter. "If it goes bad, we'll just leave." We know how that played out.

Because presumably you left reddit for a federated alternative to escape something exactly like their platform is likely to become and wouldn't want to prop up yet another example of that when there are better alternatives.

    So now what? What do you want me to do? What does "be wary" mean? Are you concerned for my emotional well-being because I might emotionally invest in a platform and then be very sad in case it goes sideways?
