I wonder what kind of money is being thrown at them right now, or in the near future. Am I way off thinking that there would be?

  Also, Bluesky themselves make some income from their relationship with Namecheap: https://bsky.social/about/blog/7-05-2023-namecheap https://bsky.social/about/blog/7-05-2023-namecheap

    This is not the case any more. None of that exists in the handle creation/change process and they just recommend any registrar in the docs.

      Interesting, I hadn't noticed the Namecheap change. I know their monetization play going forwards is something like Discord Nitro. Pay for extra features.

      It is the case, it's just off site and not promoted anywhere

  Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am aware of their fundraising so far, but that was prior to what feels like their most important growth rate/wave. Does the last week change anything with regard to financial pressure, like potential buyout suitors? I mean Zuck noticed, and is making changes to Threads…

    Of course, of course, blueksy is clear but the open source mastodon is a hidden russian bastion. Makes sense.

      Are you able to provide any facts to disprove what that poster wrote? I am very open to hear it. If there is RU money behind Bluesky, I want to know.
