@sashin @mekkaokereke I do think if we play it right the fact that fedi is not VC funded will play massively to our advantage.
There are decisions that we simply don't have to make that Bluesky will have to make. Decisions about monetization (premium accounts are already a thing there I think? ads when?), the temptation to sell data, and so on.
But we have to play it smart for this to matter. If users find fedi too daunting or too frustrating or not safe enough to use, the above won't matter.
