You're just going to get angry "disagreement" downvotes. They're all in the honeymoon phase. We'll have the "I told you so" phase soon enough.

We have yet to see any decentralization of Bluesky, and I doubt we will.

If they were a true decentralized platform they wouldn't need to worry as much about monetization, but that never really was what they cared about. It's another centralized corpo dom daddy that you suckers will fall for time and time again.

Mastodon supports over 10 million accounts because ActivityPub is actually decentralized instead of BlueSky/ATP's "I have the concept of plan."

If only there was an already existing federated microblog that somehow figured this out a decade ago! Maybe BlueSky and ATP would work better if, you know, it wasn't entirely centralized as it currently is.

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.

Humans really can't keep their hands out of the tribalism cookie jar.
