The initial users of bluesky were essentially tech people interested in decentralized tech 

That culture got completely wiped out by bluesky pandering to Twitter refugees at every opportunity

Very smart of @dwr.eth and @v not to have jumped on that bandwagon when it could have been easy bumps for protocol metrics

That does beg the question of how to grow a network without eroding the culture that makes it special – this is a solvable problem. 

Reddit is proof: it’s able to house and preserve the widest diversity of content on the internet

for a long time it did.. but for me it didnt hold up

still mostly analog. patterns, builder, entrepreneur, analyzing your transactions since 2016

yeah, that was the nail in the coffin for me. my use had gone down so much due to aggressive push of new ui I didnt care for. also the communities I frequented became overly politicized and I found the quality went down. I found my time going more to hackernews and twitter.

Do you think that coincided with closing up of the APIs?

That’s personally when I stopped using it but up until that point I could find everything I wanted on there
