Bluesky is working on a subscription, but it won’t give you a blue check

Bluesky has officially crossed 13 million users.

Well that didn’t take long. Looks like they’re going the discord route and locking uploads + basic customization behind a subscription. You know, because we don’t already have enough of those.

Bluesky is working on a premium subscription that will add features like higher-quality video uploads and some profile customization options.

        Oh, absolutely! I pay for startrek.website too. My point what that the Fediverse works just fine when people volunteer their time and money to keep it running. The only reason you would need a subscription is to generate a profit to pay the executives.

      I’m not the one complaining about having to pay for goods and services. If lemmy required a sub I would evaluate it against competing products and make a decision.

      I would not, however, make a post complaining about a company trying to fund its operations.

        My point was that the Fediverse works just fine without a subscription, the people upset about a subscription are not upset about the cost, but about what it represents (or more specifically, what it doesn’t).
