@mackuba@martianbase.net Excuse me while I laugh.
BlueSky is still very much in the first stage of the enshitification cycle, namely: being good to their users. But the business model for commercial social media platforms is well established now, and it involves locking users in and then abusing them at a rate slowly enough that offboarding still feels like it’s not worth it.
People embracing a tool that has been used to openly manipulate them in the past because this time it will be different is a story of abuse that plays out over and over again until the victim is buried in a shallow grave.
