His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

That sounds pretty neat. Are all the algos developed by Bluesky (i.e., corporate/billionaire/VC-driven) though?

no, but the various algorithms that control and construct these "user customized feeds" is precisely the part of bluesky that is architecturely a bottleneck, and it isn't a bug, the ceo of bluesky has gone on record that bluesky hasn't ruled out using this intentional centralization point to force ads on the system
