The app needs features and updates but im also scared y'all gonna press them into monetizing it in a way we won't like bc everyone is rushing them
I'm ok with them going as slowly as needed to maintain the integrity of everything

If I want a better app, I’ll wait for @tapbots.bsky.social to port Ivory.
unironically a "Helldivers 2" situation XD
I do hope for the best, these are rare and uncertain times for a platform like this ^^
I love the free internet as much as the next person but servers and devs are expensive
Best case scenario a paying subscription with non-algorithm boosting perks
Next best case, advertising
Maybe a mix of the two
The more people the more ad company will pay.
It is true that it creates an incentive of engagement being the be-all end-all, since engagement means more eyes on ads
And the most engaging content is ragebait, that much has become clear
Honestly we should be talking about a state funded social media company by now, but no one is ready for that conversation
I think most people know there only two options here add or a fee. Because servers cost money.
SM can run anything between puppy videos to anarchist cookbooks, it's not an insignificant task to make sure that ads appear among relevant and brand safe content
You don't want an adpocalypse
That was one of the better things on twitter IMO
These mfs better let bsky cook, or they’ll ruin it for everyone 😡
I’ll take ads in the sky for just a couple extra features
Which I hope they don't.
I’d pay to have music on my profile or to be able to choose my profile color or the shape of my profile image on my profile. Heck I’d pay to gave a rolodex of pinned skeets on my profile. @bsky.app
Dammit, I’m too banana-fingered for no editing.
