i was asking in good faith, and i can't thank you enough for providing such a thorough and effective answer.

it almost sounds like bluesky is just a baby twitter in the making, and it'll probably end up the same way. i'm really digging the actual fediverse thing, mainly because it seems to be one of the only places that money and vc bs hasn't been able to touch.

I just wanted to clarify, as... at least for myself, even here on lemmy, discussions about this have been going on for at least 6 to 9 months, and ... a good number of people have not been engaging in those discussions in good faith.

But yes, I am happy to answer, glad you found it helpful!

Apologies for the hilariously simplistic graphics... i literally just drew them on my gas station tier phone haha. But I think they get the point across.

Yep, it pretty much literally is twitter 2.0 (3.0?), was founded by Jack Dorsey, ... its not even a non profit, it is a for profit 'benefit' corporation, which basically just means its corporate bylaws claim that attempts to benefit the public in some way.

IE, literally the corporate / legal version of virtue signalling... it is still ultimately a for profit corporation that will put profit and growth above everything else... and hopefully by now, people understand how that literally always turns out.

It was founded by Jack Dorsey, the same guy who founded Twitter. At this point it does look like it’ll end up the same way.
