There is a pretty active community on Bluesky itself, I think they caught a much smaller, but maybe sustainable boat? I'm liking at least, but the invite-only bullshit is wearing thin.
But would I be alright with it at it's current size/user make-up? Yeah totally. (but I'm also not paying for it...)

Those investors will want to get their piece sooner or later. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/bluesky-announces-its-8m-seed-round-first-paid-service-custom-domains/ https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/bluesky-announces-its-8m-s...

- Kye 3y agoFundraising has a way of escalating until they've given away so much control that they have no choice but to grow. What do you think happens when the $8m runs out and they still haven't found a way to fund it? Twitter took decades to just barely figure it out on the back of a generational crisis that kept a lot of people inside wasting time on social media. The whole concept of federation is that most of the users are on other people's servers, so an ad-based solution isn't as obvious. They can't count on all those eyeballs being monetizable if they're serious about the AT protocol.
