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.
So you’re saying pass on the cost to the individual? You know it’s not a one-and-done kind of deal, right? Someone has to maintain the service.
How is essentially exploiting someone’s passion as free labor any better? Is it okay because it’s your family member working for free? Is his knowledge and time not worth anything to you?
It also has the cost of how fragmented the service has become. And is a large part of why Lemmy failed to take over for Reddit despite the amazing chance it was given. It’s not that people didn’t care enough, it’s that the experience on Lemmy is garbage from a ux perspective. People don’t care about self hosting or Federation they want One login one URL one place to find everything
Agree with you 100%.
