> rebuilding a social graph is a huge ask.

It is. I felt like the Bsky team was too focused on protocol in the beginning, and they missed MANY opportunities for user growth.

I recall a comment here that said ~"you guys missed the chance of a generation by staying invite only." I had agreed with that at them time. However, X/Twitter keeps making decisions which make the small, underfunded, yet smartest team in the land look pretty darn cool. (they were cool af the whole time)

I highly recommend listening to an interview with the CEO, Jay Graber. I became a huge fan of her vision after doing so.
