I’m not saying Bluesky sucks, but this is childish.
Bluesky was started by the same guy who started Twitter, and is only federated in concept.
It was never meant to be “Twitter but better”. It was always meant to be “How can we make the most money off fleeing twitter users?”. There’s a lot of overlap between the money making and being better, but it’s incidental to the real goal. Any claims otherwise are pure marketing.

He didn’t really start Bluesky; he started the exploring the Bluesky protocol as a research initiative while at Twitter to try and explore how to make Twitter decentralized. Jay Graber was hired as the CEO and incorporated it as an independent company.
