@timbray@timswan I'm pretty leery of claims to be a "public-benefit" or "open" or whatever when it comes to tech and it's something like Bluesky or OpenAI. It's all very Trojan Horse and is very much like the GOP using "freedom" to sell Christofascism, not to mention good old fashioned marketing and category manipulation to have an appearance of being prosocial and to evade scrutiny. (See also Google choosing "don't be evil" when the founders very much knew they were going to need to be evil to make money due to their own research and published papers.)
