@mousey Yes, it's very likely that I'll use Bluesky to access the ATproto network, which is the most likely option nowadays. When I create my own app, lexicon, PDS, AppView, etc., the data doesn't necessarily go through Bluesky. It can, as it's open data, but it doesn't have to. If users and app creators get the impression that Bluesky is somehow exploiting their interactions, it's not so difficult to bypass Bluesky and even fork the protocol. Am I right?
@rzelnik Pretty sure that's incorrect. Pretty sure ATProto is specifically designed so that all data flows back to bluesky centrally, before being distributed to the rest of the network.
What you're describing is ActivityPub, which has no concept of "phone home" to a central authority or repository.

Who owns Bluesky?
The curious mystery of the Bluesky Series B funding round.
Did it happen?
If you look at pitchbook (https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/484831-81) it seems Bluesky closed a whopping $97 million funding round resulting in a $700M valuation in January 2025. VCpedia lists Greylock, alumni ventures and Skyseed as participants (https://vcpedia.com/rounds/5195).
The interesting thing is there are no press releases or other media coverage confirming this financing.

@mastodonmigration This might be of interest since you've been asking these questions about Bluesky's ownership. Doesn't reveal any new owners of Bluesky but sheds some more light on one of the major ones we do know of.

Thanks! Knew about Brock Pierce, but not that he was a member of the Epstein gang.

please consider that an open protocol did not stop Google from taking a lot of power over the web by becoming the place most went to search it. based on AP already existing and bluesky then rolling out their competing protocol AT that makes everybody using their app view provide the best experience, I think this is their strategy. use VC to dominate the space and make everyone think of AT as the open social protocol with them as the best experience. enshittify.

Una mamma ucraina per un periodo chiedeva continuamente:
“Quando morirò e tornerò di nuovo in questo mondo, ci sarà ancora la guerra?”
I bambini sono tornati a scuola solo per una settimana. Poi tutto si è fermato di nuovo: il riscaldamento è stato spento, l’elettricità quasi assente. Studiare in queste condizioni è diventato impossibile.
