No matter what Bluesky starts out doing, the demands of capitalism for endless growth will push management to gradually enshittify the platform until it's abandoned by users (for yet another social media space). That's the history of social media under capitalism and it's most likely the future (until someone comes up with a successful business model for non-profit social media). But even NPR has been forced to gradually succumb to advertising.... and it's lost huge numbers of listeners recently (perhaps as a result?) Bluesky's days are (sadly) numbered...
