   Just for the record, I wish Bluesky good luck. Being founded by Jack doesn't bother me. Being a Mastodon "competitor" doesn't bother me either. Seems like there's some good people working on it and if it causes more folks to stop using Twitter 2.0 that's a win in my book.

   That being said I’m not going to be looking at it anytime soon, it's too early from both the API and specially # of users standpoint.

     This doesn't really answer the question *, sure clients will have various monetization models (though WTH is transactions). The issue is what is the server/Bluesky PBLLC business model?

     Are they going to start putting ads in the feed? Are they going to charge users or clients for access? Stay free and make it up in volume? I have no clue, not sure anyone does either.
