Bluesky Reveals Massive Hidden Investment
Today #Bluesky revealed that in April 2025 they received a whopping $100M venture capital investment and that they KEPT IT A SECRET.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-19-2026-series-b
So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out.
Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?
@mastodonmigration Eeeeeeeeeeeeew

@srfirehorseart @Zebadiah_Carter @mastodonmigration Been on Mastodon since Nov 2022, when Musk bought Twitter/X. Joined BS too after Kamala lost but still prefer Mastodon: it’s usually my first point of call. I think of this place being about quality rather than quantity.
@JonChevreau @srfirehorseart @mastodonmigration That's when I signed up for BS. If I had any idea it was going to shittify that quick, I would have started here to begin with, lol.

So, now that has been revealed that a secret VC cabal does in fact own Bluesky, let's ask how on earth they plan to recoup an investment of over $125M.
It is simply not possible to do so out of revenue. The company has no revenue and little prospect of earning money.
The only real asset that Bluesky has is their user base comprised of the nation's foremost liberals and progressives...

We did. And unfortunately we are going to need to keep warning them.

@mastodonmigration "Revealed that...they received a whopping $100M venture capital investment" is an interesting way to spell "revealed that they were bought by..."

Yes. Exactly.
And they kept the sale a secret, leaving their users with the impression that Bluesky was still a rag tag bunch of starry eyed developers trying to build a better mousetrap.
The really galling thing is at that time they weren't a whole lot bigger than Mastodon, so they took all the energy that could have gone into building real defensible public social media and cooped it.
It is a very underhanded move and should be recognized as such.

@mastodonmigration bluesky is stupid

@mastodonmigration I truly can't understand why so many are so willing to trust Bluesky to not be exactly like the things they left for exactly the reasons they left those things...
As far as I could ever see, right from day one it was built to just be the thing that takes people from those so it can do the same thing all over again... Like that was its clear goal...
So it will just hurt them and then something else, say Greensky, will pop up and they'll go to that and it will just do the same thing.
@nazokiyoubinbou @mastodonmigration I find myself confused in the same way by geeks who fled Windows ... for macOS.

@duncan_bayne @mastodonmigration People put Apple on a pedestal so high they can't see what Apple is doing up there.
And it's a pedestal that Apple never really truly deserved... (Oh, maybe very early on when going up against IBM and IBM's ways, but still, most of the pedestal consists of just some very very effective marketing...)

@mastodonmigration It was owned and operated by Cryptoland assets from the very start.
The founding team were basically all people with Crypto-laden CVs. The initial costs were funded by Crypto bro extraordinaire Jack.
It's not in the least bit surprising they got a crapton more money from Cryptoland, and then started extending welcomes to everyone in Crypto grifter HQ; the one in a historic white mansion in D.C. that's getting obscene renovations.
It was always going to happen this way.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online I'm in no way "invested" in Bluesky, but this stinks however you look at it.

We did. And unfortunately we are going to need to keep warning them.
People never thank you for warning them and admit they made a mistake not listening to you in the first place. Instead they get incandescently angry at the slightest hint of, "I told you so," or – if you say nothing – either double down and refuse to acknowledge any error or start claiming they always knew, depending on how stubborn they are.

@duncan_bayne @nazokiyoubinbou @mastodonmigration Right, but MacOS never pretended to be open or an alternative to the things people were fleeing from Microsoft. Ubuntu is the analogy because it rides on the story of Linux as liberating, but with capitalism.

I hate to use the word cuck, but people never learn. They will run straight for the next vulture capital financed illusion of a town square and get their faces eaten off yet once more

@aeva @landelare Oh, sure. I don't have a "glxinfo" command, but visualinfo produces this: https://nopaste.net/l92XzrU5kr which... oddly includes GL_EXT_shader_image_load_store.
I'm clearly doing something wrong. Not sure how I could get a working OpenGL program running, without it saying extensions that are supported, are supported. Maybe you have to set a specific... mode, before they get supported?

@dank I looked up the relevant law yesterday, and unfortunately I believe my pharmacy is in compliance with it. Psychiatrists can't prescribe 90 day supplies, but Psychiatrist can write three 30 day prescriptions in advance, and the pharmacy is not allowed to fill the written prescriptions before their start dates. So if you are consistently able to get your medication 3 days in advance, you're either consistently picking it up 3 days late or your psy or pharmacist is out of compliance.

@evadm schema chiaro e utile, grazie. Conferma i punti critici per i quali ho deciso il mio voto
-
@aeva they still treat them weirdly and require calling in to get them filled, and there are often shortages, and those are inexcusable practices.
the best way i've found to get around this is scheduling refill appointments with my prescriber a week before i run out, calling the pharmacy to make sure they order the meds and fill as scheduled, and almost always calling the day they decide i can have life-saving meds again to make sure they actually fill
-
@aeva our persecution is inexcusable, pernicious, and openly malicious.
however, whatever policy your pharmacy is claiming to adhere to, it's not real. i'm at most 20 miles from you and i routinely get fills for my schedule ii meds as early as 3 days before the prior fill runs out. this has been the case for phentermine, dextroamphetamine, and lisdexamfetamine, from 2012 on which is when i first started filling these meds.

@mason Very nice 😄
