The biggest problem with Bluesky is it's owned by another musk.
He's not great, but that's an exaggeration
Until it isn't. The platform is still single-tracked through an unaccountable billionaire.
Not an exaggeration.
There's more than one Musk!? 😱
Unfortunately, yes.
What would that be, Meesk? Like, "a Daddy-didn't-hug-me of Meesk just got out of that limo over there."
Musken.
Muski

I wouldn't say the owner is anywhere near musk-like, however it is still centralized. The system seems to be setup to allow fediverse-like federation in the future, but right now the only instance is the official Bluesky instance.
Dorsey more of a proto-Musk IMO. He went off to an island to live with cocaine and guns. He only came back recently to create another social network ~~because he hates Musk’s guts~~. (Edit: I guess I was wrong, and he doesn’t hate Musk)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty sure the guys fucking insane, but I also don’t think he’s as bad as musk or as hell-bent on destroying democracy. He’s just interested in making money to buy more cocaine and islands and guns.
Dorsey is a best pal of Musk's
Are you sure? I know they used to be super friends, but I thought they had a falling out.
Thick as thieves.
Hmm.. either they made up, or I’m thinking of something else. I’ll take your word for it.
Anyway, the rest of what I said stands. Dorsey may be bonkers (check out that Vice interview from a year or two ago), but he’s not even in the same league of evil bastards as Musk. He may be completely a self-interested billionaire, scumbag, but he’s not a literal fascist with Musk’s track record, nor is he actively stoking neo-nazi activity while personally interfering with an ongoing war in favor of our country’s greatest and longest-standing enemy.
I think you’re giving Jack Dorsey a bit too much credit by calling him another musk.
Edit: Although… he kinda was “Musk before Musk” if you know what I mean. Like I first said: proto-Musk.
Fair enough. Cheers ✌🏻
