Ran across Dave Troy’s take on all the Twitter fun. Trying to make sense of why @jack and @elonmusk did what they did.

Also looks like CoSo is certainly the more viable alternative. BlueSky not so much!!
Your thoughts??
@ScientistMel I read the Verge piece yesterday and thought it carried weight. But Troy’s take is way more sinister. So was hoping to get some feedback. We will see, I guess.
@bettr I think it's too early to tell anything about Bluesky. Let's see what happens.
@bettr @jack I’m enjoying CoSo. I think Jack didn’t want to sell. It was a hostile takeover. IMHO Elon made a vanity purchase. I don’t think he’s prepared for the legalities and nightmare he’s walked into…
Here’s a pretty good opinion piece on the thing.
