>What's the plan to avoid a Bluesky-like bubble from forming around Vouch projects?

I don't really see the issue, 'bubble', is a buzzword for what we used to call a community. You want to shrink viral online platforms to health, which is to say to a sustainable size of trusted and high quality contributors. Unqualified growth is the logic of both cancer and for-profit social media platforms, not of a functioning community of human beings.

Bluesky and Mastodon are a significantly more pleasant experience than Twitter or the Youtube comment section exactly because they turn most people away. If I were to manage a programming project, give me ten reliably contributors rather than a horde of slop programmers.

I've been on Mastodon, in leftist spaces theoretically ideologically aligned with me (I've since drifted more...)

It was horrible. Being on Mastodon was one of the most corrosive, humorless, joyless, anxiety and guilt inducing experiences I've ever had.
