Is BlueSky actually legit? I got rid of Twitter, Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, and as much of the Google Eco as I can right now.

I have both Lemmy (obviously) and Mastadon. BkueSky was always a question mark for me. It's not federated and it doesn't show ads and it doesn't ask for a subscription.

Color me a cynical fuck; but, I am wondering if BlueSky is legit enough with privacy and surveillance.

Anyone smarter than myself able to give me some guidance?

Venture capitalists (idiot husks with more money than brains, but tremendous ego and unjustified confidence) give world-changing amounts of money to a lot of stupid shit and hope at least one of them somehow turns into a big payday. Sometimes they break laws (eg: uber, airbnb). It's a horrible way of running a society.

We could be solving homelessness, hunger, diseases, the climate crisis. Instead, these fucking idiots are pouring millions of dollars into shit like "an AI to listen to music for you".
