I'd be willing to throw y'all a couple bucks a month - not only do I appreciate the technical accomplishments, but I love the engagement of folks like you, Uai, Jake, Jay et al
Love it here! In these early days of getting connected, it would be great if we could see profiles w/a "mouse over." This would speed up the follow-back process.
Also, can you add a more specific reporting option for slurs, tropes, hate, please?
People love being part of something meaningful. I remember joining twitter in its very early days. Something about made the internet feel more intimate, trustworthy, and truly collaborative. I went to tweeties and met so many new people, hired each other for subwork… still friends today with many. 🤍
THANK YOU! Without your efforts none of us would be here enjoying the peaceful engagement and discussion that have been totally devoid on other platforms. More power to you all. IMHO! you are all Magicians. 🥰
We're all behind you. You guys are doing great things. I don't think anyone was expecting this sort of growth. We're a team of 20 and only have 10000 users on our platform, if we all of a sudden got a few million overnight I don't know what we'd do. You guys are crushing it.
Since skeet length is limited as of now, can you improve the “+” feature so we can write or paste a large amount of text into the first one, then use the + to add a break/new skeet directly into the text w/out having to add a skeet then cut and copy text from the first post into the attached post?
You’re doing amazing work and I thank you for working so hard. Your willing, graceful heart are a blessing.
How you’re all keeping up with the numbers of us joining! Thrilling to watch. Because your platform produces a glimmer of hope, with a dash of delight and an opening for healing. You do good.
Doing a great job. Although the last update to iPhone means you now can’t upload pictures from camera roll. Always defaults to video, no matter what album you choose :)
Still trying to find my way around. I'd like news in my feed without getting drowned in it. Haven't found all the people I used to follow on Twitter yet. We'll get there.
You guys are phenomenal, exude grace under pressure, and somehow, *also* take the time to communicate with us. And the number of team members to Bluesky accounts is unreal.
Extraordinary, so impressive—and deeply appreciated.
Thank you- I was thinking today how much my twitter community meant to me- I just couldn’t stay after Musk took over. But now you guys at Bluesky have given them back to me when I really needed them most. Thanks for all your hard work.
Please do another live-stream. The one you did last Friday was so insightful. I wanted to share it with friends, but it looks like it was not recorded. Please. :)
You're all doing an amazing job considering millions of us just barged in and set up house. One question, I'm noticing the nazis, misogynists, racists and homophobes settling in. Should we just report and block? Is there a better way to handle them?
On X since 2009. It wasn't just the blatantly biased AI algorithms that destroyed it (but that sure didn't help!)...nor was it all the invasive & irrelevant ads. It was the overwhelming flood of people that needed to be blocked, and then suddenly he changed the rules for what blocking meant. Creepy!
Keep it up though, can't tell you how much our system of news and social media needs a major purge and overhaul. Honestly makes me understand people who live off the grid.
You guys got this... we can be patient. 😀 I've only been on here for 15 months, but early enough to recognize the abrupt and explosive growth. There are bound to be hiccups.
You’re making a lot of people very happy again. I doubt some minor technical hitches along the journey are going to be held against you guys for doing this. Thank you

This place is just ... nice :)
Keep smashing it, this is the future.

Thanks, in advance, for your attention to this.💙
Followed you Paul
Just be aware the success of all your work makes this place a target. Esp by the trolls.
It might be so hard handle the new scenario with that large amount of accounts and requests per second.
But we almost didn't notice much problems.
May the force be with you 💪
Maybe not supportive enough. But would it be possible to make it easier to find X accounts. That went to the other side?
The bright!

My very best wishes for you and the whole team. You're going to make it through this.
Thank you for all you do.
🙏
🫶🏻✌🏻
@pfrazee.com for President!
you're appreciated.
From an outsiders perspective, it all seems quite stable & fast. I had no idea the team was only 20 people. Well done.
And together we can!
Those words, WE, EVERYBODY, and WORTH!
AND YOU SPOKE THEM!
BE PROUD!
THANK YOU!
Elongated Dickkkface booted me off five times.
He REALLY didn't like me. Go figure.
I'm quite OK with a fascist not liking moi...
Great work, Paul and team!
Just one urgent request: please add a “remove follower” or at very least “soft block” option. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is going to get me fired at work!
😆😆😆
