Bluesky is if Twitter was not a PVP enabled zone.

Wait... where are the porn bots and crypto posts?
And you call this a social media platform... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Don't stop being creative.
Don't stop making things.

For those who haven't seen it we run a ferret rescue entirely from ad-revenue on Twitch. Currently 51 animals with full round the clock care from a hired staff. We're also building the largest rescue in the USA due to the support. Just watching the channel makes this possible.

Thank you everyone.
Wouldn't be here without you.
Literally.

This bed ain't big enough for the two of us.

It's wild seeing creators popping off now that they are posting on Blue Sky. It's very clear that this platform is better for engagement. You love to see it.

You should go vote.

Don't tell me who you're voting for.
Thanks.

If you put up Christmas decorations before December you are only helping to defrost Mariah Carey faster.

With the recent surge of artists on this platform it would be great to see this implemented as a marketplace. Artists all over the platform could put their work up and the platform could maintain it and take a cut. This way everyone gets options and artists get a wider reach with less overhead.

We will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible. (We won’t uprank paid accounts.)

Bluesky Announces Series A to Grow Network of 13M+ Users - Bluesky

Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.

All of my posts made at the exact same time with the exact same content are getting dramatically more engagement on Blue Sky. The post on the left is from here while the post on the right is from Twitter.

Times Square is very appealing right now.

With this platform being so much better than Twitter I am wondering what the monetization plan is for it. Platforms can't stay up without income and I'm not seeing ads or paid features anywhere.

Does anyone have any posts from them talking about this?

This starts to solve the concerns I had with monetization on this platform. Seed funding is great but investments mean control and repayment. Revenue streams like this help to dig the platform out of those.

Shrek is three years older than World of Warcraft.

The community just hit the $100,000 charity goal for the
Humane Society on Twitch. Absolutely incredible and 7 days left in the month.

Best damn community I could ask for. 💜💛

bsky is pronounced bitch-ski.
I don't make the rules.
