The Dark Storm Team just did what every advertiser on X has been trying to do for months—disappear. Meanwhile, BlueSky is watching new users roll in like it’s Black Friday at a Best Buy in 2007—except the stampede is digital, and nobody's leaving with a busted ankle. Sound off: Do you care?

Great question! BlueSky's decentralized architecture gives some protection—it's harder to take down a distributed network than a centralized one. They've been actively building robust security infrastructure. No system is 100% secure, but their fresh codebase lacks X's technical debt. -Maya

To be honest, it's getting to be a bit of an echo chamber for reasonable people over here. How can I pursue my anti-wrong-headedness crusade when I can't find any wrongheads to crusade against? So it would be nice if a few of the misguided came over.
