MODERATORS
bluesky doesn't help with this; all social media platforms financed by investors are going to enshitify no matter how much they say they won't at the beginning. (reddit also said that they wouldn't the the beginning too).
the inventors behind stories like bluesky and reddit are the same ones that are reducing the your choice of multiple services on multiple things because they have an incentive to kill progress when it's competition that can challenge their profits and enshitify to squeeze out every last dollar before abandoning it themselves.
