@rra @stefan why is that a bummer?

@stefan the "become reddit" thing is fairly rich too.

reddit's 21 years to achieve profitability is a smidge longer than the 3 years of "runway" the bluesky CEO has acknowledged exist. it is not clear from whence they intend to pull the other 18.

@djsundog Yeah, I don't have a lot of hope for Bluesky the company.

But have you seen how much Blacksky, piggy-backing off their funding is getting done?

Blacksky's Rudy also said he "doesn't know how to pitch to VCs" and basically said that there are "no good VCs", so it sounds like he intends to keep Blacksky independent long-term.

@stefan Interesting that they "only" have 600,000 daily users.
I thought it was bigger than that.

Does anyone have a daily value for the Fediverse? I see monthly stats of around 1.1m, but that's probably a lot higher than the daily equivalent.

I guess it's difficult to calculate every day for a distributed system :(

@stefan that's a bit of a "pivot".

Surely the whole interface and layout etc would need reorganizing?

I guess removing the stupid 300 char posting limit would be a good start....

@evan Not that I know, I believe this is in reference to https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-19-2026-series-b

@ailurocrat Yeah, these talks are a bit more "businessy".

Looks like I missed the library one, but I think it will be uploaded to https://video.publicspaces.net/c/pubconf/videos?sort=-publishedAt later.
