Are you kidding me? Instagram is part of the tech bro cult that is supporting the authoritarian shift. Why would a tech savvy team make this choice? Crazy.

It also happens to be where a lot of regular people are. Unlike whichever turbonerds-only alternative you're likely to suggest.

This tech savvy team, to their benefit, might also be culture savvy.

Seems pretty clear to me.

The masses aren't on Bluesky, they're on instagram and twitter.

And while both are owned by "tech bro cult" people, only one is owned by the head of the department you see as a problem.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the (sound) reasoning here.

good way to shoot themselves in the foot. They want people to see this and share where a majority of Americans are.

purity tests just cede more control to those who don't care about being ethical.
