Bluesky is still growing, has no ads, and is free. That will not last. We just do not know the exact method by which bluesky will be ruined yet, but I doubt server bills will be funded out of kindness forever.

The idea they’ve floated is subscription with features behind a paywall. I could see it working if handled right.

I would totally subscribe for longer posts and more features. The current character limit is a copy of a bad design decision by another company.

If twitter had rolled out premium, say a year before Musk took over, and it didn't have the "premium users get boosted posts", I would likely have signed up. I paid for Co-host, unfortunately not enough people did, I guess.

I'm still cautiously optimistic because she says the right things, but her background is in crypto.

Not only doesn't it have to get shitty, but you have to remember that in your darkest of days, there are likeminded people with you, who stand for human decency, above all else.

and that's period. dot.

and trust me, I do get it, how fucking deep the chasm can be of dread, but it's up to us to not lose sight of our allies. Decent folk want the best for other decent folk. Assholes who speak against are only loud because they are unchecked, but it's all they have.

Never lose yourself in all this. Stay strong. For you, and for others like you. Humanity will pull through, as we always do.

Is this why I can't stop sharing that video of ASMR Lord Farquaad doing someone's makeup?
