I wonder what kind of money is being thrown at them right now, or in the near future.

Am I way off thinking that there would be?

This has been heavily covered

Also, Bluesky themselves make some income from their relationship with Namecheap: https://bsky.social/about/blog/7-05-2023-namecheap

This is not the case any more. None of that exists in the handle creation/change process and they just recommend any registrar in the docs.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed the Namecheap change. I know their monetization play going forwards is something like Discord Nitro. Pay for extra features.

It is the case, it's just off site and not promoted anywhere

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I am aware of their fundraising so far, but that was prior to what feels like their most important growth rate/wave.

Does the last week change anything with regard to financial pressure, like potential buyout suitors?

I mean Zuck noticed, and is making changes to Threads…
