I would be so much more interested in Bluesky if it were technically impossible for a random super rich guy to buy and bend it to his whims.

Isn't that the whole point of bs? Empowering users to take their data where they want. It's completely open-sourced and well-documented. If someone buys bluesky you can move all your data to a different service that follows the same protocol

Can I move my followers/following graph as well? Moving the actual content is barely a consolation prize if you lose your entire audience in the process.

You can move your data, but whoever controls the AppView controls what people see “on Bluesky”.

  Yeah but anyone can make a GreenSky. The source code is all there

  But the users are not. The app and the AppView can be bought and then you are in control of what people can see. Good luck trying to move them to the alternative.
