To Bluesky Users 🙋♂️
We are not just passengers. By using a platform you are contributing to that platform's power and influence. At this point there is real reason to question to what purpose corporate Bluesky's influence will be channeled. Will your voices be marginalized? Will your work be censored? Conversely, if you move here, you'll be contributing to building a powerful truly decentralized public social media. You will be part of the counterweight to corporate media.

Numerous reports lately of #Bluesky using their default "Discover" feed to promote right wing accounts and shadow ban progressive users. And yet, progressives continue to flock to this centralized, VC funded, tech bro platform 🤷
We have the opportunity to create a better public social media ecosystem, but only if we together make better choices.
