People keep acting like hosting this shit and developing it is free. Its not. Donate to your instance and the development of the back end and all the opensource software you use. Bluesky has 20 million people using it it’s no surorise they are looking for a profit model that won’t scare the base off. I would rather it be subs instead of endless ads and algorithm tweaks.

I expect subscriptions soon. I don’t mind subscriptions as much as I mind advertisment honestly. Advertising is negative content for these types of services. It detracts and makes the service way less useful but subscriptions at least will fund upkeep at a greater efficiency of user per dollar than ads.

To lurkers, consider financially supporting the fediverse particukarly the homeservers you use if you aren’t running your own.

I recommend using bluesky like old twitter if you do use it. Follow people you’re interested in otherwise you’ll only see the most noisy types.

Is this a fresh account that you went to the discover tab on?

The land lords who used the service should also be held liable. You mean to tell me you get a report with a binary answer and you just trust it with no due diligence? If there is no penalty for blindly trusting an algorithm they will just move to the next tool they can use to be bigots.

Jones isn’t useful anymore so they’re going to dump him.

This whole project is cool as fuck.

Pretty neat. I kind of wish they sold shares direct to users as well. Lemme hold some of the bsky biscuit bro

The guy has simply lost it.

Complete idiot. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut.

I can have conversations with strangers without much difficulty. I have no choice and people are uncomfortable if I am silent in a lot of scenarios. I identify common ground with the person typically based on where we are meeting and if I don’t intend to connect to the person I keep conversation general and don’t ask names unless it seems like I may run into this person again. I then forget that name probably but it’s nice to ask.

I hadn’t realized how high it was until seeing this and canceled mine.

Yeah and hopefully they inspire more people to try things out and see where they go.

A shame to see competition dwindle.

Gonna keep it real with you chief. TVs should have never needed updates.

Just get a ring stuck on your finger or a mannequin’s finger and remove it yourself to demonstrate and have control over the filming.

Oh okay

I’m out of the loop, what happened to antennapod?

Considering his relationships with Epstein et Al it’s pretty conspicuous.

Man I would love to see what security measures they put in place for these things. That better be amazing security or else it’s going to be some real bad news bears.

That isn’t at all their problem their problem is scar tissue buildup that they haven’t even bothered addressing. Wtf are they doing talking about data compression when they can’t even maintain connection.
