one of the core building blocks of bluesky is that every user does or can own and keep their own data. users can host all their own data on their own servers, and all data is 100% portable if any new owners try any shenanigans.


Their About Us page is pretty informative and not a long read:

bsky.social

Company - Bluesky

Bluesky is building a protocol for public conversation that can make social networks work more like email, blogs, or phone numbers — the open systems that power the rest of our online lives.

I thought the idea was that that was the endpoint, but that we are pretty far away from that, no?

like, the 'fediverse' does not yet exist, does it?
 
if you mean are there other places to migrate TO yet.....i think you're right. but i think the idea is that it would be much easier to set up a similar site independently going forward, especially since all of bluesky's stuff is open source already.

Yeah, there's no point in buying Bluesky really. Setting up a bluesky clone is something that say, Cuban, could do with his lunch money and the user base would migrate away from someone like Elon buying the place again, it's just social media whack a mole at that point. Spending a couple of billie every few years for no reason but to annoy the libs for a few months.
 
I think having spaces like bluesky is gonna take on a whole other world of importance once trumpy gets inaugurated and starts upping his attacks on mainstream media and the free press
