I'm uncomfortable using Bluesky for a very important reason: I don't know how they pay their bills, and despite this, they've taken VC funding. They have no option but to fuck us over at some point. I'm exhausted by the enshitification cycle. I miss all the friends I've lost from Twitter and I don't want to go through all of this again.

@wwahammy make sure to tell the end users too. "this website requires features not supported in {X browser}, please use Firefox or another browser with these features {link to a list of browsers without web environment integrity}."

@wwahammy this a great idea. I actually thought to implement little js bugs that only happen on chrome. Just like they did in Google meet for Firefox. Then I disregarded the idea because there isn't any js on my website. |

@wwahammy: Considering that the CEO has a history of cryptocurrency grifting, I should suspect that the funding is already tainted.
@wwahammy I keep it at arms length. Maybe follow a few accounts but under no circumstances post anything. Like some people stay on FB to keep in touch with far away friends and family but keep their engagement to bare minimum.
@wwahammy Bluesky currently generates some revenue as a domain name reseller for those people who buy vanity domains as their Bluesky handle through them. Imho thatβs a perfectly acceptable model.
However, I seriously doubt they could ever break even with just that model, never mind return multiples to investors. So far there has been no other answer on revenue models, Iβm not sure they know themselves. If it remains an open network, hard to see what they could do.
