I'm not optimistic about BlueSky's profitability - the current free-at-point of use is a result of VC funding.

So personally I'd be wary of adopting it. I think it's likely the API gets locked down and the comments break in a couple of years.

and would say the bright side of the "enshittification cycle" is that we get nice places for a while and then we can move on. It's not like people party at the Mudd Club or CBGB anymore and why should they? Theory at

I think BlueSky should lean into this and operate as a domain registrar like Squarespace does.

They did this for a few years (specifically selling domains to use as a username), not sure if they do anymore.

They also sold a bunch of shirts as a stunt against Meta earlier this year, and the shirt sales were more revenue than the domains had been.
