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

I thought this was slightly funny.

Mark Zuckerberg is known these days for wearing t-shirts with Latin phrases on them, especially ones where he compares himself to Julius Caesar.

Bluesky made a shirt in the same style, but theirs says "a world without Caesars" in Latin.

So is lemmy or mastodon selling shirts yet? if not, why not?

I was on Reddit for 12 years with nearly a million Karma, and I got permabanned soon after the Inauguration for repeating an anti-MAGA opinion I had posted numerous times before he was elected.

I came over to Lemmy, and discovered that I was only one victim of a bloodbath, demonstrating that Reddit had decided to forego their free speech mission, and grovel for their new masters. Pathetic punk ass corporation.

I never wore a Reddit shirt, but I'd happily wear a Lemmy shirt.

Poor blue maga, while anyone with a consciense was permabanned from Reddit loooong ago by Jessica Ashoosh, now their slightly more right wing sister party has done it to them.
You had so much free speech as long as it was the US regime narrative.
Says more about you people than Reddit.

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.

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!

If they are ethically made by union labor, there is nothing anti marxist about selling a shirts. 😁

Agreed. In fact seeming merch is pretty grass roots tbh. It's how many musicians make a living

The Mastodon project put a lot of energy into a high quality plushy.

That must have been frustrating when the user base responded "but I already got my Blåhaj"

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

But Plushtodon is fren for Blahaj
