I agree with the text and I think the author got most things right. For the last part, while I see that it diverged from enshittification, it can also be, well, descriptions we used before. Bluesky sounds like the good old tactics of selling customers unnecessary features they don't need nor want. I'm pretty sure that's how they'll get away with it. I also see the whole crypto be shoehorned into the platform as purely optional and "oh look, for using Bluesky and not the competition, you got free crypto" and then design it in such a way that only poweruser have any real benefit from the crypto. Free money. However I see no benefit in Bluesky and will just stay on Lemmy, that's the whole point of the Fediverse.
