Bad idea. Bluesky's just gonna end up like Twitter.
The Fediverse could get shitty in new ways too, but it can't get Elon'd. Bluesky eventually will. The future is on the Fediverse. All we're doing is delaying that future by swapping one corporation for another.
Though maybe that future needs to be delayed, because the Fediverse needs to lose its "yeah our app can do that thing you want, just edit a few variables in the source code"-style github energy.
Mastodon is ultimately usable, because I figured it out, but it should have been easier, and needs to get easier. Maybe it has the rise and fall of bluesky to figure that out.
Self-defeating: that "github energy" is not going to get lost if first not enough people use the Fediverse that having to make that kind of change at the source level becomes a hindrance.
