Free Our Feeds is a crowd funding effort to protect the underpinnings of BlueSky as open source software.
Background Free Our Feeds is a campaign launched in January 2025 to raise $30 million over three years. The initiative aims to ensure BlueSky's technology remains open-source and protected from billionaire control. The campaign represents a significant effort to maintain decentralized social media infrastructure.
Resolution Criteria This market will resolve to the month when Free Our Feeds reaches $30 million in total donations, as reported on their official website (freeourfeeds.com) or their GoFundMe page. If the campaign is officially cancelled or abandoned before reaching $30 million, the market will resolve to "Never."
Considerations
The campaign's official timeline projects reaching the $30 million goal by the end of 2028
The fundraising target is significantly larger than typical crowdfunding campaigns
Success depends on sustained donor interest over a multi-year period
The campaign's momentum and media coverage could affect donation patterns

Funny, it might be interesting to make a market about how much of the donations by 2028 are from billionaires if that is public info, bc i'd expect the majority of donation $s to be made from billionaires
