It’s likely that when Bluesky rolls out in full, advertisers will have the ability to place ads in networks or user interest groups similar to Reddit’s framework. This user self-selection will be extremely useful to businesses running targeted campaigns.

So…Mastodon…with ads?

i don't see what similarities to mastodon it has

They built their own federated protocol and it's a microblog

it isn't very federal at the moment

If AT protocol goes public, other software might federate with existing Bluesky servers. Bluesky servers should have a set of filters that would keep safe for everyone joining the chosen server.

Give Gargron time he'll add ads and buddy up with Meta while signing mystery NDAs

He can add ads if he wants, and you can simply move to another ad-free instance.

That's a serious accusation. Got anything to back it up?

They'd have to do that in custom feeds (which people can ignore) or on 3rd party account servers (which people also can ignore, just like in Mastodon)
