Still finding it amusing that #BlueSky was all about being a better, "#decentralized" #SocialNetwork, where you could get away from the #enshittification and corporate bullshit that was making all #SocialMedia bad, but they aren't even decentralized, and don't have any sort of feature to move outside of their walled garden, and already are talking about #ads and #subscriptions.
Like, people have already bought domains for this, already built sign ups for those domains, already invested in the server infrastructure for hosting servers for what is basically someone else's social network, in anticipation of some sort of #Fediverse-like decentralization, something that has not been implemented beyond a box diagram as far as we know... And here we are, watching them implement ads and subscriptions, something which would be undermined by that, instead of just doing that.
At this point, I'm feeling pretty confident about my earlier assertions that "#BSky" might be Bullshit.
