   Hate to say it, because BlueSky had (still has) promise:

   There is no reason to believe that its owners/investors -- now prominently including right-wing cryptocurrency bros -- will resist the opportunity to meddle and/or cash in, especially now that there's been such a surge in the user base.

   And when/if they do, a genuinely open and decentralized alternative to Big Network (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) will still be -- with the current exception of the fediverse -- a mirage.
