If Bluesky (the company) can successfuly ban people then Bluesky (the technology) has already failed.

I have zero interest in the vision of Bluesky as <Parler, but left>. My primary interest is in a place where the mods can't take my friends away from me because they insulted an influencer

People actually love surveillance capitalism, they'll share their GPS location and watch ads every 90 seconds rather than pay for services. Advertising is the magic sauce that makes everything run "for free," so much people cannot even conceive of any utopia without its latent subsidy.

FYI, here's the entire code to create a dataset of every single bsky message in real time:

```
from atproto import *
def f(m): print(m.header, parse_subscribe_repos_message())
FirehoseSubscribeReposClient().start(f)
```

I'm genuinely so confused why some people consider "open-source" to be a bad thing.

Yes, a lot of open-source software sucks.

You hate software that sucks, not open-source.

I have serious reservations about a platform where rules are applied disproportionately depending on if you’re one of the right people.
