The entire point Jay Graber is making with her shirt is that BlueSky does not want to be the next Facebook or Twitter.

I don't understand how you misunderstood that so badly that you came to this conclusion.

On the contrary, the phrase is a direct threat, "we are here to disrupt and take you down", maybe Jay Graber does not want to be the Mark Zuckerburg, but bluesky wants to be the next Facebook. its just evolving to diffuse the legal and ethical responsibilities of moderating. It's laudable and I agree with them on principle, but I'm not in love with the David Goliath framing. They're equally as silicon valleyish and VC funded as anyone else.
Even if they were as you say, a David and Goliath framing is 100% appropriate given the relative assets and market power of Meta and Bluesky.
