It wasn't the "controlled by a single company" part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO...

that's the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!

that's what happens when it is controlled by a single company

Then we'll leave Bluesky too. 🤷

I'm with you on this one. Can't knock every single product owned by a company assuming all CEOs are Nazis...

But a big red flag is when a company sells itself to a billionaire, or goes public on the stock market. That's when we should start to worry.

And fly to the next private one that will be bought in time by another Nazi?

If it's a good replacement, maybe. I'll deal with that if it happens. One battle at a time.

no need to worry, at that point the new nazi owner already has all the data they got from the platform
