Is it just me, or does the "Show less like this" button seem to do nothing to improve the "Discover" tab?

🦋 Bluesky is actually worse than X. I want my social app to give me incentives to close it

Amazing tool to find more of your network on 🦋

My app for finding 🦋 accounts you may want to follow has had a make-over: it now displays names and bios, and allows adding an "app password" for direct follow buttons in the listing bsky-follow-finder.theo.io

Hi @danabra.mov I'm genuinely interested if you have an opinion from a technical stand point to how #bluesky architecture stand against #nostr 's.

@kawamataryo.bsky.social the "X -> 🦋 exodus" might have triggered them to block your extension!

Nevermind, it was my disconnect.me extension that triggered it, very weird since I had it for ages with no issues

🌌 Curious about how @bsky.app is planning to monetize its decentralized platform while keeping it user-friendly? Here’s a look at their innovative strategies to stay sustainable without following the usual ad-based model. 👇 1/9

In a nutshell, Bluesky is building a user-first, privacy-friendly social network with subscription services, creator support, and a developer ecosystem—all while keeping data protection and free basic services at the core. 🚫 Ads, ✅ Choice. 8/9

bsky.socialOur Plan for a Sustainably Open Social Network - BlueskyWe've been exploring avenues of monetization other than traditional advertising, and have raised a seed round to support our mission and growth.

For those following the evolution of social media, @bsky.app is definitely one to watch! 🚀 Learn more here: 🦋 #Bluesky monetization strategy: bsky.social/about/blog/7... 9/9

Custom Domain Registration 🌐 Want a unique domain for your profile? Bluesky launched a service where you can register custom domains! This caters to users who want a standout online presence and adds another revenue stream. ⚡️ 5/9

Bluesky’s Current Status 📈 As of late 2024, Bluesky has grown to over 13M users! Fueled by dissatisfaction with X, they recently raised $15M in Series A funding to keep innovating. Exciting times ahead as they expand their community-focused approach! 🌎 7/9

Why Bluesky’s Different 🌱 Unlike typical social platforms, Bluesky won’t sell user data for ads. They’re a public benefit corporation, meaning they aim to balance profit with positive social impact. Their goal: tech that serves the user, not the other way around. 🔒 6/9

Developer Ecosystem 👩‍💻 By encouraging third-party developers to build apps on the open-source AT Protocol, Bluesky is fostering a developer-friendly ecosystem. More apps = more user engagement and new revenue possibilities through partnerships. 🚀 3/9

Subscription Services 📲 Bluesky’s working on a premium subscription with perks like higher-quality video uploads and customizable profiles. But here’s the twist: they’re keeping the basic version free, and paid users don’t get boosted over free users! A refreshing change, right? 🙌 4/9

Creator Monetization 💸 Bluesky is rolling out a “tip jar” system so users can directly support their favorite creators. It’s a win-win: creators get paid, and users support content they love, all on their own terms! 🎉 2/9
