Success! One Billion Users Will Go Into Production (Late Backers Welcome)

At some point, I’ll have time to write more thoroughly about how the wonderful and supportive Bluesky community effectively willed One Billion Users over the funding threshold, but it’s quite amazing. We were around 50% of the funding threshold just a few days before the campaign was set to close (which generally means the campaign won’t reach its goal), but then a bunch of users on Bluesky really embraced the project, urging others to support it, and it quickly became a community celebration.
