Let's talk about Bluesky

Bluesky is a thing that Twitter may or may not be doing in the future. In a nutshell, it's a response to the growing popularity of federated social networking (by, for example, Mastodon, which I use) by saying "as a centralized company, we can do federated social networking better". Now as this article points out, there are things existing federated services could do better (content authentication, for example). But existing flaws in the fediverse don't mean Twitter can step in and fix it all. There are far too many contradictions between Twitter's business model and a decentralized open source communications network. Twitter's answer to Mastodon seems to be, "Oh boy, just you wait and see what kind of vaporware we're selling you!"
