Social networking startup and X competitor Bluesky is working on subscriptions. The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October. Now, mockups teasing the upcoming Bluesky subscription, along with a list of possible features, have been published to Bluesky’s GitHub.
And the hype around crypto also is driven by people who have certain ideologies which are, let’s just say, bad for regular folks.
You’re gonna have a hard time convincing me anyone who sees crypto as a “stable job” and not “a fucking con” isn’t sucked into this psycho TESCREAL bullshit and that they won’t start being a fucking pox on our nation like Musk,who is also a TESCREAL freak.
Jay Graber was personally chosen by Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey is all in on TESCREAL, too.
You’re telling me she’s completely uninfluenced by the psycho freaks surrounding her and their unhinged ideologies? I just don’t god damned buy it. Those views are almost endemic in Silicon Valley at this point.
Never heard of this, it sounds terrible from a brief web search.
Here’s a TESCREAL adherent’s manifesto, by world’s biggest asshole Marc Andreesen:

And here’s a good response to that psychotic manifesto:

I mean, my instance is a testing ground run by the founding maintainer of the Fedi software the server runs on (mbin), and that person happens to be a crypto believer. His activities and communications absolutely do not sound like what you describe.
This news article I found cited by Wikipedia about Graber’s hiring doesn’t say anything about Dorsey’s choice, and it sounds like she was hired for her technical qualifications and interest in the project.
