Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains (fortune.com)

I thought this was slightly funny.

Mark Zuckerberg is known these days for wearing t-shirts with Latin phrases on them, especially ones where he compares himself to Julius Caesar.

Bluesky made a shirt in the same style, but theirs says "a world without Caesars" in Latin.

Yeah I would say they likely just aren't using the protocol properly, that being said I'm not sure I know of an example who is.

Why are we acting like this is a detail.

Why did I have to burrow all the way down to this spot to see this?

The conversation should begin, or very nearly begin with this as it puts EVERYTHING ELSE around bluesky hype into question, it transmutes the castles you are describing into constructions of sand that might topple any moment to forces of money, greed and effective (even if not explicit) centralized control.

sigh I don't mean to attack you personally, but this conversation feels so warped sometimes.
