Regarding:
https://kevinak.se/blog/be-wary-of-bluesky

There is some of that article I DISAGREE with, and some I AGREE with.

⁂

I think people in Bluesky / ATmosphere are our friends. I think they have similar goals to us

⁂

Having said that, I agree that DID-PLC is a problem. I think the Bluesky founders good people, but — DID-PLC is problem.

Good people can be forced to do things — or simply "pushed" out of the way.

I hope they fix it.

⁂

The other PDS, relay, and AppView issues could be solved.
