overall i'm impressed with bluesky, BUT i have some privacy concerns i'd like to see the team address. these are crucial if bluesky is to live up to its goal & stated values. (THREAD INCOMING 🧵) to start, bluesky contains tracking from companies like sentry & statsig, with no way to opt out.

bluesky also appears to operate their own domain for telemetry & data collection, "events.bsky.app". this appears to be related to statsig, as it can be seen directly called in the "statsig.tsx" file from their source code. it appears to be collecting info regarding app interaction, clicks, etc.

to add insult to injury, bluesky's main website (bsky.social) includes tracking from GOOGLE, arguably one of the most privacy invasive companies out there. no introduction needed.
