Didn’t many leaders in Europe come out and say they’re not going to arrest him when he visits?

As the growth of Bluesky showed

If you’ve got marketing money, even Chinese spyware apps make it to the top. see Tiktok. So, growth is not always a good metric for what works.

Bluesky is just a pseudo decentralization platform that’s built as a controlled opposition and will make the same moves as twitter when it reaches critical mass.

Nothing should be made off of ATProto.
