It has?

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the tech industry and generally more online then likely 95% of the population, but ime ... Nobody even knows what bluesky is?

(They also don't know what X is, though they DO know what Twitter is)

And even more niche products like mostodon, the fediverse altogether etc are entirely unknown to most of the tech industry too.

Sounds like a feature. I like some self-selection bias, it might have character. Maybe a little less global competition for my attention.

You must live in a different tech industry than I do. They might not be using it, but most know about it.

Sometimes tech leads the world, however unwillingly, to better outcomes.

Tech is downstream of culture. Seems that smart people keep getting duped by this idea.

For example Twitter and Facebook didn’t result in a bunch of Democracies springing up after the Arab Spring, it resulted in the complete opposite. Tech simply amplifies the culture that was already there.
