Social networking startup and X competitor Bluesky is working on subscriptions. The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October. Now, mockups teasing the upcoming Bluesky subscription, along with a list of possible features, have been published to Bluesky’s GitHub.

Gee whiz wow who could have possibly seen this coming.

But people have been assuring me that it is a federated protocol, so I guess I'll just join another instance. I'm sure there is a list somewhere.... It's coming... Any day now...

Monetization is different model relying on donations of the dedicated shitpoaster;)

Nobody is hiding or gate keeping the platform

I don't see enshittification.

It works how the internet should work properly imho

Hopefully we can scale it.

People who are able to should be reminded to donate twice per year.

this is not the bluesky you’re looking for

https://blueskyproject.io/

Bluesky enables experimental science at the lab-bench or facility scale.

Bluesky is a collection of Python libraries that are co-developed but independently useful and may be adopted a la carte.
