You know why most fedi developers have such a distaste for BlueSky?
Oh right, it's because Jack saw a need for monetization that couldn't work without a centralized infra.
Then he abandoned BS.
As much as you may think the SWF wants to bring ads to your fedi feed, I'm pretty sure you'll see ads on BlueSky first.
But the real ones will keep building, where it matters.

@dansup@mastodon.social @viennawriter@literatur.social Bleibt die interessante Frage, ob auf Dauer das Fediverum komplett auf Monetarisierung verzichten kann. Bislang beruht es weitgehend auf Ehrenamt und Spenden, besonders bei den kleineren Instanzen. Leider leben wir in einer Welt, in der das Geld regiert.
@dansup@mastodon.social but activitypub/mastodon is not fully functional at least yet, for example https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25699
@dansup@mastodon.social I was really hoping that Jack would use ActivityPub at the time, and disappointed when he didn’t. It felt like such a big missed opportunity.
@dansup@mastodon.social nothing wrong with ads
@russell@podcastindex.social True, but on the fediverse, you or admins should have some level of control over them right?
I think it’s okay for instances to serve ads, because people can make informed decisions about what they join!
@dansup@mastodon.social agree, but would be great to see a way to support fediverse platforms other than donate or send SATs to them.
