Venture capital and crypto money do not last forever and they need to maintain and run a for-profit corporation.
The question is not IF they will sell some soft of “pro accounts” and have advertising, the question is only WHEN they will have it. My guess is before Q3/2025.

Bluesky is already coming apart. My partner uses it and last night she got a video of a person being shot in her feed. No warning. No label. Just blam!
Their influx of new users don’t all want to participate in labeling and moderation and they don’t seem to be able to handle it.

Why would the users participate in moderating? That’s the job of the commercial platform holder.

I mean labeling their posts accurately to give other the choice.

Use Mastadon, Bluesky will eventually have to enshittify as they are a corporation.

Much like lemmy, my mastodon feed has started a fizzle out. I’m seeing people I used to follow on mastodon no longer active, but now on Bluesky. 🤷♂️

I have no complaints about Lemmy, but posting on Mastodon is basically screaming into the void - I’ve been trying for more than a year, and I basically hardly ever get any reaction at all. In comparison, in the first week on Bluesky I found multiple people following me, commenting on my silly wine and cactuses posts, and in general just interacting.
Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer Mastodon technically and ethically, but it’s just so goddamned barren and dead I feel completely unmotivated to post there…

Mastodon sucks really bad. It’s a complete dead end for an artist.

Tried mastodon, went through three instances, at the end hosted my own single user, ultimately decided the hassle was not worth it. I would rather use nothing than mastodon.
