To the contrary: If Bluesky wins, or if Nostr or some new open, decentralized social platform wins, that only benefits the whole.
The open social web is ONE web.
I get prefering one, but being religious over ActivtyPub, vs ATProto vs Nostr protocols is silly and like POP3 email vs SMTP email etc, when in reality it was all ONE email system.
Just so, the whole open social web benefits and is enriched by ANY of the other succeeding.

@tchambers@indieweb.social The structural issues are WAY bigger than how email client transfers are done. Its a poor analogy.

@tchambers@indieweb.social wouldn't having half or more of the web on Gopher made for a worse web and helped prolong the dominance of AOL etc? sorry but that's how I see it. And of course the people who came late to the party with VC backing are playing nice. they always do, until they outlast the competitors and don't fear what users will do when they enshittify. it doesn't matter how nice their team is, they will get moved out as necessary. the app view is nice but it naturally centralizes network power.
