"Oh no this is wrong"... proceeds to shit on it, not provide a single example or correction

Home to Go is just a search engine for VRBO, which is a US company owned by Expedia. It is not a replacement for Airbnb, nor does it stop supporting US companies.

Good to know. See? Some actual actionable information

BlueSky is not owned by a non profit. First row.

I'm not in it but I have been told it's almost impossible to control the narrative as Muskrat does on Twitter

It is held by a benefit corporation which means they have to, at least pretend, to bring some societal benefit

While AT Protocol is sort of federated in a sense, no one really runs aggregators (which serves half of the role an instance does in ActivityPub) besides BlueSky themselves, so they can still control it if they wanted to.

Also, "normal" for profit companies can also pretend to want to bring good to the world. It's misinformation because public benefit companies are allowed to collect a profit (post says non profit).

I still believe BlueSky is world's better than Twitter! But it's important to be honest about it.
