@[email protected] I’ve not yet listened to the episode (looking forward to it, as always), but reading the show notes it appears there was not any discussion of Bluesky’s business plan.

As exciting as I find Bluesky’s vision and technical achievements to be, their long term success (and non-enshittification) hinges entirely on their ability to become a profitable company.

Why wasn’t this part of the discussion?
