Why saying we can't afford to pay your employees more isn't good for business. F*** your .52 cent raises

Bluesky just passed 40 million users... and you probably didn't hear a thing.

Why?

Because this isn’t just another social network.

It's something bigger.

Click the image, then check the alt text to find why it's different and why you should care.

We've all felt it: something's off with the old platforms.

You post your thoughts, crickets.

You see the same viral content on repeat.

You miss the people you actually care about.

Because the feed isn't for you, it's for the algorithm.

You're not the user.

You're the product.

Engagement is optimized...not for depth, but for addiction.

We gave up control, context, and creativity for a dopamine drip.

But Bluesky said: what if we rewrote the rules?

No hidden levers. No black box feeds.

Just a simple idea: Put people back in charge of their experience.

Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, meaning you own your identity and you choose your algorithms.

Chronological feeds? Check.

Custom feeds? Absolutely.

Moderation tools you can adjust? Yes.

It's not just "a new Twitter".

It's a network of networks. Decentralized, customizable, and truly yours.**

And guess what? It feels like early internet again.

People talk.

Weird ideas thrive.

You can grow a community without selling your soul to trends.

You don't need to go viral. You need to be real.

And it's not slowing down.

40 million users now and growing fast.

Creators, devs, artists, thinkers, entire niches are finding a home here.

You don't need permission to belong.

You just need to show up.

So if you've been watching from the sidelines... this is your sign.

The door's open.

The vibes are good.

And you're not too late.

If this resonated, repost it for someone who's been curious but hesitant.

You might be the reason they finally join :)

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."
