The statement follows a lively back-and-forth conversation earlier this week between Mastodon founder and CEO Eugen Rochko and Bluesky board member and journalist Mike Masnick. In the conversation, published on their respective social networks, Rochko claimed, “there is nobody that can decide for the fediverse to block Mississippi.” (The Fediverse is the decentralized social network that includes Mastodon and other services, and is powered by the ActivityPub protocol.)

“And this is why real decentralization matters,” said Rochko.

Bluesky is VC backed. Just because they aren't turning a profit yet doesn't mean that's not the end-game for them.

non-commercial

Where did you read that Bluesky is nonprofit? The upside is the chance to drive traffic to themselves, as always; cancer only ever cares about growing itself, no?
