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?
I don’t have an answer to your question but would like to mention that I had a bluesky account for a bit over 2 years. Its fine. A bit whacky at times but as with everything else, once you get your follow list done, its fine. I recently deleted my account because I made a piefed and mastodon accounts for different reasons and found myself not going to bluesky at all anymore. Not sure why.
