@henshaw @gargron @Claire It's an interesting demo, I've yet to fully dig in. But it does involve some (but not all) of the technical directions I've been advocating.
It's more believable that BlueSky can do well at this point given that they appear to have actually gotten the cash from Twitter while being set up as an independent org, and have hired a pretty impressive set of engineers. (I'm not involved in that org, but we do talk sometimes.) Time will tell what happens with it though.
