Interesting article on #bluesky https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/02/bluesky-black-twitter-sex-workers-culture/

A few initial thoughts:

* It's easy to love shitposting from a selected group of elite users. As you scale, you rapidly slide down the quality scale.

* That can easily become a vicious cycle, where worsening content drives off the better posters and makes worse ones feel more comfortable. Endpoint: 4chan.

* I totally agree that "If Bluesky wants to be a genuine rival to Twitter, it needs to protect vulnerable communities".

* The fundamental question for anybody trying to rival Twitter is: can they afford to give a good user experience? Twitter's revenue is ~$0.01/tweet. That does not buy a lot of safety.
