I'm quite sure that starter packs are one key reason BlueSky is growing so fast. It's a genuine innovation in this space and Mastodon/fed need it yesterday.

As much as I despise Musk for so many things, and as much as his Starlink satellites are ruining astronomy and creating vast space-junk hazards, he's only partly to blame.

The absolute refusal of government to see what was happening, and stop it before it was too late, is the bigger problem.

And that continued refusal to lift a finger is encouraging orders of magnitude more satellite launches by Musk and other space grabbers.

It's insane, and we will regret it, probably too late.
