Bluesky is a public benefit corp which at least nominally means they don't have to maximize shareholder value at the expense of everything else.

Decentralization is not a priority for most people. If anything, they actively want centralization, because it's easier. To get those people to decentralize, the solution will have to be dead easy and invisible. The AT Protocol being developed by the Bluesky people looks promising.

I don't work for Bluesky, I'm not on Bluesky, and I don't particularly care, but I found your comment unfair after reading about ATProto on HN literally yesterday.



How is this different than what OpenAI was structured as...until they weren't?


I have no idea and don't use OpenAI either. A quick search tells me OpenAI started out as a nonprofit and turned into the same thing Bluesky is, a PBC.
