Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

I imagine selling t-shirts would be against the Marxist/Leninist ideology of Lenny’s devs?
But given the volume of non-tankie instances now up and running, I’m sure some enterprising admins would be willing to give it a go.
..and as long as they’re ethically sourced (no sweatshops), high quality (materials and GSM), and reasonably priced (accounting for the other two factors) - I’m all for it!

The stickers, pins and tote bags are still in stock. The plush is the one in high demand.

It's odd to me that someone would feel the need to compensate for their socially awkward highschool years by learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and taking growth hormone. You'd think being rich would be enough for these people but it's not.
For a brief period of time, I entertained the hope that the t-shirt was Zuck's way of warning the world that the US was slipping into a fascist dictatorship, but that was not the case. It seems clear that that he wore the shirt out of hubris. It was his way of telling the world that he was the modern era's Caeser and the two others men running the failing superstate were crassus and pompey. An absolutely mindless message given how it ended for all three of these men.
By the way, isn't the word "commode" derived from Commodus? We should name something after Zuck. Perhaps this new strain of bird flu that's been spreading wildly because of a lack of a federal response?
I think it is apt, and I liken Elon to cancer

Yes but I can't let this chance go by to piss off the English and say they're a German colony, the country they love to hate.
Speak a germanic language.
England, literally land of the Angle. Where are the Angle from?
And who's the other part of the Anglo-Saxons?
Ruled by....The Windsors? Doesn't sound right.
Or did they change their Von Saxen-Gotha name for some mysterious reason in 1914?Ask them why they let their little island be conquered so many times. Romans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Normans. That we know of. Did they need an infusion of culture because they have none of their own? Was it a DEI thing? We may never know.

No one's taken my lunch money in awhile wearing Linux t-shirts. I need to up my game - I'd buy a Lemmy shirt.

Zuckerberg wears t-shirts comparing himself to Julius Caesar? Why is that every time I think I’m up-to-date on the latest weirdness there’s more of it?
He is comparing himself to Caesar? Maybe someone should stab him to help him out.

I'm not racist. I'm just really into 1940's German artillery. For the engineering, you know. /s

But on frontpage.fyi, if you want to sign up, you have to sign up through Bluesky. They direct you to bsky.app to create your account.
I just don't see how this is a real functional example of a portable account. Maybe it is not supposed to be - if so, is the decentralized nature of accounts demonstrated anywhere in a practical way?
I struggle to understand things I cannot see.
I know this convo was 2 weeks ago, but they published a great article that includes how Identify is handled that answers our questions.

Effectively identify is as the PDS level. So if Bluesky goes down and your account were through Bluesky you'd lose your identity ?*
If your account is held through another platform like Spark or your own self hosted PDS your identity would remain live.
*My question that sparked from this is if Bluesky went down and you're already logged into a second platform, when you log into that second platform does it duplicate your DID? I'm assuming not and you'd still lose it because logins are through OIDC and the keys still exist on Bluesky.
Regardless the true path to decentralization should be everyone hosting their own identity on their own PDS w/ identity but that might be a longshot. The path to decentralization is effectively allowed but will people take advantage of it?
