Crypto BlueSky

[frandroid]

jwz_blog_feed points out that the lead in today's announced BlueSky Series A financing is a fucking crypto VC company.

For fuck's sake, BlueSky is just starting to pick up steam as The One Network to replace Twitter. It's been gaining a million new users every few days recently. Goddamn it. Please don't ruin this.

*** ETA: A take from fellow Torontonian cum Taiwan expat Diezniyk/DJ Basilisk:

Hot take: a supposedly enshittification-resistant platform startup taking on funding from dubious crypto hucksters is probably not a bad way to find out if the underlying pitch has merit.

We'll see...

Blegh. Not ideal, though at least the vibe is the VC Money is getting in bc they think it's a good investment (vs taking a loss to buy a propaganda organ)
