Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

I think this is true as a practical matter but man, the bluesky team has tried from the beginning to be accessible and understandable to users and it's netted them exactly zero community goodwill. Is "shut up and eat shit" really the sum total of practical community relations advice?
