Um... So all the money, all the development, to create Twitter² and they just added DMs? That seems an underwhelming achievement.

  The headline is that it's not a shithole ridden with ads, spam, influencers, scams, etc. That's the important part of replacing Twitter.

    Neither was Twitter at the equivalent point in time.

      Very true, and if Bluesky sucks 5 years down the road I'll leave for something new.

      There are a lot of people who would disagree with that. BlueSky already has better mod tools than Twitter circa 2014 did. Musk’s transformation may have made it exponentially worse, but for some people it was already very bad.

    What are the criteria for deciding how to either stop influencers from signing up, or how to permaban them as soon as they start? It would be something no other platform has managed. Including this site.
