yes, one enormous advantage of a federated service like Mastodon -- and all fediverse projects -- is that they're self-funded by the people who form the community of users

self-funding by the community has its own limitations bien sur

but it doesn't have the mass deformations we've seen with every major social network so far

I can't imagine how bluesky will avoid running into the same monetization problems in the long/medium run ...
