Being open source helps ensure that the app won’t be bought by a billionaire. Because it’s really easy to migrate to a Bluesky copycat if that happens.

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...
