Oh one hand, I understand the impulse. Maintaining an open source community can easily be a full time job if not several full time jobs if you let it. And it being open source opens the flood gates for heavy stress testing even moreso than just having a live website does. But on the other hand, it raises concerns about security through obscurity, privacy, and licensing.
That said, if they do open source it, I’ll be hosting an instance ASAP for my kids and their friends
Some of our more talented, less decrepid users should get in there early. If I hadn’t sent this as a letter to my grandson to print here I’d be all over it

I hope the project is a success, but I am a bit worried about the developer being like “It is not open source yet, but it will be!”

Bröthër, may I have some loops?
No!!! You will get enshitification from bluesky or loops and you will enjoy it like the good corporate shill that you are. Lol
