The biggest most fundamental problem with Bluesky that nobody is talking about, is that it was designed specifically to be implemented by Twitter. And now that Elon owns Twitter and they no longer have that opportunity, they haven't shifted gears. They're still trying to design a protocol to be adopted by Twitter.
I had assumed for a while that they must have secured another platform, because that's the only way their hosting model makes sense.
But that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems like they just don't know what they're doing. Maybe too bureaucratic to switch gears flexibly.
