Timeline (last 90 days)
A multi-platform presence (Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn) can provide a buffer when a single platform's policies change, but note that user demographics and interaction logic differ across platforms, so content needs to be adjusted accordingly rather than simply synchronized.
Bluesky is based on the AT protocol, allowing users to store their identity and data on their own servers, and different platforms can interoperate.
Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider was interviewed at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, talking about the direction of Attie's development toward app generation.
When Attie was first launched this year, it was positioned to help users build their own feeds through AI; users only needed to describe what content they wanted to see, and Attie could generate the corresponding algorithm filtering rules.
In Bluesky's architecture, transaction history, review records and reputation scores can be bound to identity rather than to the platform, and when a user switches to another application based on the AT Protocol, these trust credentials can theoretically still be verified and inherited.
Bluesky executives clearly stated that advertising is not the only path to monetization for the platform, and the team is exploring the possibility of letting users directly complete activities such as buying, selling and fundraising within the network.
Bluesky executives believe that alternative monetization models such as shopping, transactions and fundraising are both technically and commercially viable.
For users and developers, what is worth watching is which APIs Bluesky will open up next, how it will cooperate with payment service providers, and whether it will bring in third-party applications to take on transaction functions.
If Bluesky can make the combination of "social + transactions + fundraising" work, it could provide a reference for other open protocols.
Bluesky's exploration reflects a larger industry trend: the marginal benefits of the advertising model are declining, and platforms need to find new sources of revenue.
