Can someone explain to me what is going on with Bluesky? (lemmy.abnormalbeings.space)

I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

Not an ounce of sympathy. If you ignore every single warning sign and get willingly fucked by billionaires to get away from billionaires whilst saying federated social media is inherently worse then you deserve to stay on the sinking ship. Hopefully you know how to swim in corpo-infested waters.

Enshittification seems inevitable what with it being based in the US and operated by someone who could just sell it or whatever. But I expect it'll take at least a while longer before I'll feel the need to bail on it like I did Twitter in 2022.

Honestly, I think it's because Europeans went to sleep and let the Americans alone in there for too long.

Best I can tell from the rather aimless freakout is that some obscure metric went down and people took it as a sign or failure or something? The first thing I saw be weird was some guy claim he wouldn't leave Twitter because half their Twitter followers wouldn't come with them to BS and than it died down before the mass US hysteria today.

I don't know if the verification thing has anything to do with it, frankly.
