What a great question. Bluesky Is more than an X clone. Under the hood, each part of the app can and is ran by different companies. The app you download, the server hosting your data, each feed you scroll, and your chosen moderator can all be ran by unrelated parties.

Here are some nice mushrooms

We also believe a better world is possible! When ethical businesses who actually care about their customers, society, and the planet outgrow the "few companies" the power shifts. Take the power back by supporting do-good businesses! And keep using ethical apps like @bsky.app and @surf.social
