I mean, again this doesn’t surprise me, Bluesky not only has the money (and promises of future money if things go well) to go viral, it has to in order to survive.

If Bluesky grew at the rate Mastodon grew in the beginning it would already be dead and abandoned by investors, that isn’t a knock on Mastodon it is a statement about how problematically unstable and fragile the traditional approach of building for profit corporate social media spaces is that Bluesky embodies.
