@J12t It’s worth exploring other business models.

The two current ones are completely broken: you either sell or exploit users’ data (as legacy social media do), or you rely on donations but then you don’t have enough resources to scale (as repeatedly shown by Mastodon).

I’m not saying Bluesky will be profitable. Nobody knows. But exploring a third way that generates enough money while avoid mining personal data is interesting.

@o_simardcasanova Other models are certainly needed and any experiments are to be welcomed. But they need to have a chance to produce enough revenue, and I cannot see that paid moderation can do that.
