Now Bluesky's Jay Graber is simply lying.
“If a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky and took it over, or I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people didn’t really like, then they could fork off and go on to other applications.”

Of course, this makes absolutely no sense, but tech media dutifully just prints it.
What does "fork off and go on to other applications" mean?
What is it she is even saying?
Getting really tired of this gaslighting BS.
@mastodonmigration I suppose she was referring these things: 1) AT protocol docs are openly available, 2) there are plenty various public implementations of PDS, moderation/labeling services and apps (aka "views"). But of course it does not enough to make system billionaire-proof. These are just first steps, and making it billionaire-proof require transition to something like Linux Foundation, or making all that a set of IEEE/ANSI/W3C standards?
And sadly, it all very centralized 
Totally get the mumbo jumbo she is referring to, but to infer that a mythic potential born out of some open source documents and a fantasy vaporware marketing program constitutes "billionaire proofing" is simply dishonest.
@mastodonmigration Yes! This is much better way to say this mood I tried to "verbalize". Thanks!
