The app has the edge where X once dominated: news and live events.

      Well, comparing to Twitter… you can use their API, BlueSky is open-source and you can partially self-host. A lot better but you also could very likely be right about it being a trap.

        With no safeguards the users won’t know it’s a trap until it’s sprung.

        Reddit was almost exactly the same, and that did very little to help anyone

      Nah bluesky is great. This “trap” conspiracy theory is ridiculous.

        Will Musk buy Bluesky for more or less than he bought Twitter?
