This was fascinating to see unfold. What if there was a social network that had taste and rejected things that suck?

Is it a failure of Bluesky to never become the global town square, if it means being a place where a brand can't find it a safe space to promote itself?

Can a social network thread the needle of having enough traffic to be worthwhile but not so much as to attract the Eternal September?

>Is it a failure of Bluesky to never become the global town square,

No, because that's an oxymoron. There is no such thing because a precondition for a town square (which in reality is a community of people, not a place) is that there exists shared set of values, context and conduct between its members. The state of nature on a global platform, just like in a megacity is to be an anonymous, atomized individual who ideas or products can be sold to.
