LinkedIn is another closed site, not a discussion site.

Bluesky, according to wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky

bsky.app

is an open site, but it lied and it is not.
Membership is required to see posts. My guess
is there won't be much discussion there, and
it'll be as dull as X.

Can you link to a post or thread from bluesky on
a different website? No, because it is a closed
site.

"Bluesky is largely analogous to Twitter in its structure.
Users can send 300-character text messages, images, and
video in short posts."

So it really isn't a discussion site, just an X-like
link farm?
