As fog blanketed Seattle, @knibbs.bsky.social's waited to meet @jay.bsky.team—CEO of Bluesky. Fittingly, just before she arrived, the skies cleared. It felt poetic. Her name, Lantian, means “blue sky” in Mandarin. And her mission? Clear the smog from social media.

Not sure how that can be overcome
ie. I miss many professional endurance athletes, marathoners, track stars, etc. who seem to refuse to come here
We can have pleasant discussions, but we need to be emboldened to try.
Many don't even try anymore.
I finally decided to just post in the language that made most sense, but it's hard.
It’s probably because of accounts I follow.
(by the way, love your new pm!)
"Enlightened" is great, but I'm not ceding "woke."

Its core? The AT Protocol, an open-source infrastructure where users and apps coexist, evolve, and collaborate.

• Twitter + Reddit vibes
• Custom, community-run feeds
• Plug-and-play moderation rules
• Interoperable apps built on one shared backend
• Bluesky = text-first social network
• Skylight = TikTok-style video sharing
• SkyFeed or Graze = build-your-own community feeds
Why? Bluesky doesn’t downrank outbound links.
For many, it’s already driving more clicks and subs than X. Even media orgs are noticing.
A web where anyone can self-host, moderate, and monetize—on their own terms.

Hierarchical systems, 1 person is more or less in charge, buckle under the weight of too much complexity.
Bsky's entrancement of the AT Protocol aligns with various mathematical principles that enhance its robustness and flexibility.
You are well positioned for a takeover! 😀
Elun was a "visionary" and he turned out to be awful.
BlueSky is a good Twitter knockoff. I like that. Let's try not to enshitify it.
We only tolerate it because Nazis are (generally) unwelcome here, we don't get shadowbanned for breathing wrong and bots aren't as big a problem.
