    Bluesky is a corporate hedge to delay the social network business from becoming not a business, it is headed by variously naive or disengenous tech people who believe they are creating the future when they are mercenaries for the past.

    You know when you see oil company commercials and they have lots of footage of wind turbines, solar panels and other ecofriendly crap? That is bluesky.

      That’s a great sounding description.

      It’s too bad we can’t add it to their about about page.

      I personally lean towards disingenuous though. Tech oligarchs and their lackeys are many things, but not naive.
