I don’t think it’s necessarily impossible, but the reasoning for why this is happening is vague. If this is an internal decision largely being made by Jay and the team, I think that’s healthy! If it’s largely being made by anyone else, though, that’s concerning.
I think the Bluesky founders are good people. (I've met them in person. Talked to them. Etc.)
And, I do want them to succeed. I think they are our friends. I think they have similar goals to us on the Fediverse.

But, if this is actually an investor driven "coup" — it makes one of the worries of some of those critical of bsky more likely.
I'm not saying it is a "coup". I don't have the information to know. But I do wonder.
