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.

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!

Che Guevara t-shirts seem to get sold quite a lot.

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
