jwz_blog_feed points out that the lead in today's announced BlueSky Series A financing is a fucking crypto VC company. https://jwz-blog-feed.dreamwidth.org/1927818.html
For fuck's sake, BlueSky is just starting to pick up steam as The One Network to replace Twitter. It's been gaining a million new users every few days recently. Goddamn it. Please don't ruin this.
*** ETA: A take from fellow Torontonian cum Taiwan expat Diezniyk/DJ Basilisk:
Hot take: a supposedly enshittification-resistant platform startup taking on funding from dubious crypto hucksters is probably not a bad way to find out if the underlying pitch has merit.
We'll see...
