Bookmarked Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) by Cory DoctorowCory Doctorow (pluralistic.net)

I don’t know why Bluesky hasn’t added the federation systems that would enable freedom of exit to its service. Perhaps there are excellent technical reasons to prioritize rolling out the other systems they’ve created so far. Frankly, it doesn’t matter. So long as Bluesky can be a trap, I won’t let myself be tempted. My rule – I don’t join a service that I can’t leave without switching costs – is my Ulysses Pact, and it’s keeping me safe from danger I’ve sailed into too many times before.
