@eff BlueSky is just another Twitter. Don't trust it, trust @doctorow instead.

Whether Bluesky can live up to its professed vision is still very much up in the air. This piece does an excellent job of highlighting some of its major flaws and shortcomings. While some of these may be excusable given the company's small size and late start, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye.

My stance on Bluesky has always been to “not only give it the benefit of the doubt, but also scrutinize its claims”. I genuinely hope these legitimate concerns will be addressed in the near future, as only then will I be able to endorse it without reservation.
