After years of growing Bluesky into what it is today, I now have space to go deep on what comes next. I personally recruited Toni to take the reins so I could go back to building something new, and his first week here has only validated that choice.

the ask is simple and obvious. we've all seen this play before and everyone who knows you says that while this is what VC does and you're following the script, your team is different. then act differently.

"Quite a few people wondered if my arrival means that we will start putting ads on the network. We’re not. We are very actively thinking about how we will make money, but ads are near the bottom of the idea list." so please make this conversation public. everyone knows how taking VC enables domination of a market and how the decision re how to monetize is where the enshittification happens. being private about this is what feeds distrust between the protocols. #bluesky https://toni.org/2026/03/13/impressions-from-my-first-week-at-bluesky/
