Substack takes a cut of P2P transactions (i.e. a piece of what you all pay to subscribe to BE&S. Because we're peers!) Bluesky could well do the same thing, but they clearly don't know what monetization looks like right now. I hope they can make it work by having power users pay for their accounts — I'd happily pony up cash to continue incentivizing exactly those kinds of engagements.
The album’s I have been listening to which have been released in the last year or so seem to have a common theme, being over the internet. I am over social media. Let me know if it ever sorts it self out.
As always, giving us much to think about, Justin. (I did wonder what "taking a cut of peer-to-peer transactions" referred to.) As you show, there's nothing new in people seeking companionship with like-minded others. In cyberspace, sanity lies in taking back the power of determining our choices, and finding a space with agreeable rules of engagement that offers up informative, challenging a/o entertaining ideas.

Same.
It's pieces like this that made me a subscriber. Great stuff.
Thanks for this. I love Bluesky. Also Echo!!

Just read your T. Star piece about bugs and PP via your repost of Deb Tieleman on BlueSky — one way of getting around the Star’s paywall!
Oh my, I hadn't considered that reposting the full PDF of the paper would be a workaround for the paywall.
