@darius This reminds me... a few times before I've heard people talk about the next big thing in (insert some technology dominated by a monopoly), and they say things like "I'm creating this new project", "just wait until I finish it", and in the end they do absolutely nothing. They don't even report their advances... the momentum just dies.

I believe this is intentional. When people get organized to create something new, someone appears and says "hey, I'm doing this! Just wait until I get my first prototype done" and nobody ends up doing anything.

I believe bluesky is one of those things, aimed at stiffling innovation by creating false expectations. Only to let Twitter keep going.
