I found this here: https://bsky.app/profile/matthewdowsmith.bsky.social/post/3ma6wfldigs2g but it’s a screenshot from https://nitter.net/AaronRDay I couldn’t locate the original Tweet likely because it was posted far back or censored by Musk and I gave up scrolling.


BlueSky is neither “mainstream social media”, “big tech platforms”, or “major competitor”.
I agree that Bluesky isn’t a “big tech platform”, it’s not as big as I wish it were but I do think currently it’s the largest competitor that’s at-least mostly ethical or far better than the big tech platforms. They recently hit a 41 million user milestone. How can platforms can you name with greater than that many users that is not part of what is commonly considered to be “big tech” (Meta, Google, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok)?
When BlueSky breaks a billion active users we can have a conversation about Big Tech because there’s no way they get there without enshittification.
