no offense but i’d pay bluesky a small amount of every month compared to not doing it for twitter because elon musk is evil and so far bluesky hasn’t been evil. not having any ads on here at all has been a major reason why this platform rocks too and i’d contribute a little to keep it that way

Bluesky will be launching a subscription service by the end of the year. There are no details yet on how many tiers. Premium tiers will likely include higher-resolution pics, more/longer video uploads, and profile/page customization aesthetics. Longer term, there's a monetization plan for creators.

Images, audio, and video cost so much to host.
i would do the same for here
I'm thinking like Patreon or similar subscription sites for artists
that alone makes this place feel better
be a good posting pal - run a pds
i say this about a surprising number of things, actually
Dark mode, light mode type stuff or something like the old HTML customization? I doubt it but that would be truly awesome and I would definitely pay for that.
I want colour themes for the app too 👀

They won't be from Bluesky, but they can't control what the other feeds do.
I refused to buy premium or to get verified at X, everything due to the lunatic Musk and his bots. I would definitely pay to keep BlueSky formidable and smooth. 😎👌
Plus here it would just feel like investing in a communal good 🤷♀️

Oh good, incentivizing profit for views on social media has never led to unforeseen consequences!
Patreon integration and the like are fine, but I think the monetization of posts was part of what really killed Twitter for me. The mass engagement farming resulting from that was rough.
That said, as a creator, it'd be as beneficial as FB in the long run
Tight funds at the moment, but the future will change
also I need the fuckin edit button
We need Nike and Apple to make it funny though.
Twitter is run like a propaganda tool. The only people paying are the people who want to take advantage of the users.
Agree re rest.
This would probably be mentally healthier for me than staying on social media, but alas the posters are funny
I would absolutely give money to Bluesky without even needing a crab.
So that definitely helps them not be evil!
You're not having to pay for no ads. We don't have ads to begin with. Your whole monthly cost is going to features and improving the site
If I can afford it, I'm paying for it when it drops
This is a good opinion.
