You seem to have missed the fact that Bluesky is funded by the same crypto VC.

Look how well that has turned out even though Bluesky is open source.

Tangled is not funded by the community.

It would be better if it was rather than it be owned by VCs.

??? Bluesky can make decisions, mistakes, or moderation choices you disagree with and you can just go to https://blacksky.community, a completely independent AppView with different moderation that was up for the entirety of a 24hr outage Bluesky recently had.

I'd say AT Protocol is turning out pretty well.

Development and steering is subsidised by VCs funding Bluesky at this point. (especially a crypto VC) Have you ever asked whats in it for them? What plans are they going to put into the protocol? I can see the AT Protocol shoving crypto payments or whatever in their insatiable quest for growth and ROI, because when the funding money runs out when BS miss their growth targets, this is what happens. And for Tangled’s monetisation path, it is questionable. So no. Not a solution.
