2/Be aware you are effectively operating behind enemy lines. It may be tactically useful to do so, but don’t pretend there is anything “good” happening here. For all the talk about critical thinking, folks could try using some for once. 🤦 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joecardillo_bluesky-bigtech-socialmedia-activity-7263206291139932161-BTim

@davetroy@toad.social New boss, old boss ...something ...something ...don't get fooled again ... How does that go? I'm going to borrow your "operating behind enemy lines" line. Everyone makes such trade-offs constantly, but I think in this case virtually no one realizes that's what they're doing. Le Sigh.

@davetroy@toad.social this post is leaving a bit unclear unfortunately. hopefully there's some more to this that goes towards some solid proof.

@davetroy@toad.social What percentage of the Bluesky company does this Russian Kirill Dorofeev own? Is there a place where I can see that percentage? Thanks for the warning not to use Russian controlled software 🙏.

@davetroy@toad.social I've avoided BlueSky because the founder was the same as for Twitter so you know it'll eventually just become Twitter 2.0 and in the end X 2.0. So, no thanks.

@davetroy@toad.social Should I worry about it as a user? Do we know if the VC is trying to control or influence Bluesky content? Or is this a Russian firm trying to cash in a mass exodus from Twitter in the event of a Trump win?

@davetroy@toad.social Flocking to bluesky without researching all the reasons to not join bluesky is peak twitter user behavior.

@davetroy@toad.social while I know that is not your point, is that really his picture in the profile? no. that's not really his picture isn't that Kyle McLaughlin from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" ? well maybe not, he's a bit heavier in that movie, but it IS him from the picture on this article: https://www.polygon.com/entertainment/23434855/twin-peaks-november-lets-go

@davetroy@toad.social Bluesky users take note and consider what you're encouraging through your participation. He's also using Cooper's photo from Twin Peaks as his profile pic, which irks me.

@davetroy@toad.social As suspect as I am of bsky's investment funding, as I am their crypto leaning board and CEO, the reason it is currently flourishing and will likely continue to do so is they have a Trust & Safety team actively protecting users and frequently rolling out robust features designed to do the same. That's why Dorsey jumped ship, he believes in "freeze peach" similarly to Musk. Its T&S is clearly superior to xhitter or Meta, but Mastodon lags behind them as well.

@davetroy@toad.social The #socialmedia lesson we can all learn from #xitter is that one should be willing and prepared to pick up and leave any platform at any time.
