Well that didn’t take long. Looks like they’re going the discord route and locking uploads + basic customization behind a subscription. You know, because we don’t already have enough of those.
Bluesky is working on a premium subscription that will add features like higher-quality video uploads and some profile customization options.
If only there was an already existing federated microblog that somehow figured this out a decade ago! Maybe BlueSky and ATP would work better if, you know, it wasn’t entirely centralized as it currently is.
Definitely. The fact that it’s centralized will eventually lead to ads anyway. That’s why they can’t throw millions at something like Mastodon or Lemmy, because then they can’t control it when it’s mass adopted.
