this is why they focus on blockchains, a technology basically always used at the expense of its users”

i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform

@molly0xfff

Do you have any idea how much the $15million represents to BlueSky? As either operation or valuation?

@DroidPort Eventually the bill comes due.

@kelson

Sure... I'm not sure some crowd-funded crypto investment will be able to cover that.

@DroidPort Exactly.

@kelson

Yea... Great, we remain in full agreement.

The reason I asked my original question, is that I wanted to know how much this $15mil represents currently.

There are people on Mastodon screaming about how "Bluesky is now owned by a Crypto Firm"... as if the downfall of another platform should be celebrated.

It has neither collapsed nor under new ownership. I am hoping for some more info, not just 'bLuEsKy bAd' and 'cRyPTo BaD'.
