Maybe a stupid question but why the concern? Blue sky is not problematic.

I don't think it's a stupid question but maybe this is just a stupid answer - maybe it depends on your definition of problematic

it's not Facebook / Zuck or Twitter / Elon or Post / Andreeson but it's still (an arguably malign billionaire) Jack and whoever, and I also would like to see someone explain the rest of the answer

First, it's not problematic **for you**. Please don't speak for everybody else in the world.

Second, *any* kind of "opt-out" forced service is problematic from the get-go. No exceptions.

@LALegault @mastodonmigration @snarfed.org @snarfed I don't want my stuff on bluesky, if I did I would move there. I don't trust for-profit companies to handle social media because if they have to choose between protecting users and making money - they will choose to make money.

I have seen this happen time and time again with these libertarian tech-bros - they moderate like they are having to pull teeth. They also sweep up minority populations into thier moderation actions to appear more "balanced".

Also, I only want my things to been seen in a small social graph - I do not want my stuff to be broadcasted very far. I am not here to gain clout or followers.

This is why it should be opt-in, because those who don't have these reasons can ask to be bridged.
