It was always going to be this way. It didn’t take long to see the signs of enshittification on BSky. They were subpoenaed for user info, they banned journalists, implemented age verification, and I left when they started adding link redirects and tracking.
I’m easily out if they screw it up, I’m in the fediverse at least as much as there. So far, I’m OK with them and I want to see what happens with this protocol. Mastodon needs some work too.

They banned journalists? Who?
And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Open any link and the link you clicked is hijacked back to a BSky domain.
I guess I don’t care that much at this point but I’m out as soon as I see the first ad.
Why wait? Why continue contributing value and investing in the platform? The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

Mastodon’s problems are not intrinsic…
