Thanks to @pluralistic, I guess I now better understand the frontal assault of #FreeOurFeeds on #bluesky. They're forcing the issue on the relay centralization. Either bs interoperates with them, or their refusal to do so and ability to replicate their whole network helps people to switch relays. It's like a hostile takeover. I don't understand the long term plan but if I'm understanding this correctly, I kinda like it. even though it seems like a fuck ton of money.

in reply to Mastodon Migration • • •yea it's only Cory that makes me think it has to be something smarter and more interesting than it appeared on first glance. perhaps the strategy will only take a tiny percentage of what they raise and the rest can be spent somehow moving people to fedi in a way BS users don't think is too hard, confusing etc.
