@Techaltar I think that fundamentally, one should think of Blue Sky as what Twitter would have been if it hadn't degenerated into the hostile garbage that X became.
I know a few folks who are loving Blue Sky.
But, if we have chosen Mastodon (or the Fediverse) because we don't want to be manipulated, experimented, or tracked by a proprietary algorithm, or be subserviant to the whim of a venture capitalist, then we are exactly where we belong. :-)
