   “I’m really excited that folks can choose the social media that’s right for them," EFF’s @falsemirror told @Vox. Some might want to talk to barely a dozen people, “and then if folks want a really big audience and to really blow up that’s also available.” https://www.vox.com/technology/385433/what-is-bluesky-twitter-social-media-use-future

     @eff @falsemirror @Vox Bluesky is partly owned by crypto bros. They are behaving themselves now, but could start monetizing at any time. https://decrypt.co/288157/bluesky-raises-15-million-no-crypto

     With this fundraise, we will continue supporting and growing Bluesky’s community, investing in Trust and Safety, and supporting the ATmosphere developer ecosystem. In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads 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, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.
