When will Bluesky be bought by a Trump-adjacent autocrat or succumb to autocrat forces and cease to be able to pretend to be an alternative to corporate social media?
Reply with your answer:
a) Within this year.
b) Before Trump’s term ends.
c) Within 5 years.

e) Never. It will remain a bastion of freedom and democratic principle.
(Polling manually so it is seen fully through the Bluesky bridge)

This morning Chris Alemany has a poll up asking when you think #Bluesky will shut the door on free flowing expression either by being bought by billionaires or catering to their crypto VC owners.
This should be a real concern. We are headed to a crucial mid-term election. Should this pivot happen this summer it will cripple Democratic campaigns at a consequential moment.
We need to be smarter than this. Pack your social media 'go bag'. Start building a Fediverse presence before it's too late.
