The honeymoon period is definitely starting to wear a bit more thin as Bluesky speedruns the history of Twitter. There's a thread where one of the key people behind Skywatch, a popular labeler for content users might find negative, despairs that Bluesky is not doing enough to remove bad actors.

Nothing on Bluesky is *actually* private, but the main thread is marked as only available for logged in users only, so I'll instead link to my replies: bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky…

One short note: the "global town square" model is a broken design, IMO. It's also very millenial.

More or less I tend to think that both Bluesky and the present-day fediverse are caught up in chasing the dreams of social networks built by Millenials, for Millenials, on the hopes and dreams that a "global town square" would work.

Very "early web 2.0 zeitgeist" thinking. Doomed, IMO.
