How is BlueSky any different from other major social media platforms? (lemm.ee)

So I thought that BlueSky was set up just like Lemmy in that it was fully decentralized into a sort of "terrorist cell" structure that wasn't focused on profits, but then found out that BlueSky has a CEO. Since this is a business, what makes BlueSky fundamentally different from Twitter or Instagram?

I feel like so long as a social media platform exists through monetization (in some form or another private companies need to make money), we are ultimately replacing one dictator with another.

It's different because it's the only one that's called "BlueSky"

This to me is the only sensible answer.

Im my opinion, BlueSky is merely this year's Threads.

Who knows, maybe next year we will have 'X' (pun intended) which would be the year's BlueSky.
