soOoOo…
been pondering this Bluesky mess, and i think i found a reason for why Bluesky executives didn't want people to find out they took 100 million from Bain Capital:
❝ "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and o͟t͟h͟e͟r͟ i͟n͟t͟e͟r͟a͟c͟t͟i͟o͟n͟s͟ ❞
what other interactions are there beyond posts, likes and comments?
oh, right: DIRECT MESSAGES.
so is this why they kept quiet? that the money was contingent upon them redefining public to include DMs?

@blogdiva 🎯🎯🎯 and blocks, which are public information.
You can infer so much about someone from the accounts they are blocking. And guess who the most blocked accounts are? No need to guess actually, it’s all out in the open on clearsky.app

@_elena jfc that didn't even occur to me. so everything, from who you decide to unfollow, mute, block, to DMs; even your searches. and then there’s fingerprinting all devices where you install their app.

@blogdiva if you think about it, it’s the last semi-mainstream app/platform not owned by a broligarch (who control Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, X, TikTok US and Substack)

@_elena what’s his name from Twitter still has a majority ownership though, right? he always wanted BS to be a vector for cryptocurrency.
i think hiding Bain’s investment has more to do with Bain’s history of investment parasitism. Bain doesn’t invest to grow businesses. Bain invests to cannibalize and grow themselves.
i can see a situation in which Bain demanded complete access to user data and Bluesky having to create a secret API for Bain.
in other words, took a year to backdoor Bluesky

@blogdiva "took a year to backdoor Bluesky" sent shivers down my spine. Ouf. Can I say it wouldn't surprise me?
BTW a lot of European politicians and institutions are more active on Bluesky than the Fediverse... connect the dots

@halcy 🤔 what are your adverbs
-
@timmy but, they do use debit cards. So maybe we're talking about different things. They've had standardized wire transfers via SWIFT for many years, which is cheaper and easier than wire transfers were in the US until very recently.
-
@timmy they've got a functional banking system, they don't need rentseeking middlemen in order to use their money.

@stroughtonsmith @gruber so much cleaner love it

@aeva i‘m anti nouns personally. adverbs is where it’s at

@katttivizzima ti dirò, a me non dispiace l'idea di base che c'è dietro Bluesky, l'interfaccia è molto buona e può insegnare molto al Fdiverso.
Malgrado questo però preferisco il Fediverso, sia per le possibilità che attualmente presenta (formattazione, messaggi lunghi, autodeterminazione totale) sia per il tipo di realtà sociale che c'è dietro e dentro al Fediverso
