bsky.storage is an independent project that automates periodic account data backups to a storage network, and has a UI for PLC identity backup and recovery tools like this give users stronger control of their online future, without needing to self-host an entire PDS

It’s wild when the people who control the only feed most people see accuse us of being the echo chamber. People are scared and in pain—they deserve spaces to talk without top-down interference. That’s what we’re building.

I’m excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on for several months… I’ve published a long-form guide for how companies, communities, and creators can use Bluesky to grow their brands — you can check it out on @atpota.to. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid start that I’ll keep updated!

definitely not an ego chamber

hot take: what kind of toilet paper you get is a better personality test than Buzzfeed’s Disney princess quiz

We're excited that verification badges have made it easier to quickly recognize authentic accounts, especially in moments of breaking news. Now, we're expanding our roll-out. Notable and authentic accounts can apply for verification or to become a Trusted Verifier via the form linked in our blog.

Does anyone run a Discord server or Subreddit? If so, please comment and I'll dm you 🙏

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task www.wired.com/story/big-in...

We are beta testing a new feature with the @nba.com. If you click their profile picture when there’s a red border with a “live” callout below, you will be directed to the live content they are promoting. We aren’t trapping you in Bluesky. We want you to use Bluesky to discover what’s happening.

@eva.bsky.world what do you think of Bluesky?

But they do let you surf in the lava

I interviewed @jay.bsky.team and @rose.bsky.team about Bluesky's origin story, scaling approach and that Zuck t-shirt: "We want a world where there's no need for emperors at all.” time.com/collections/...

🏈 Draft Day is finally here, and we've put together a starter pack to help you follow the action. Check it out, and share some of your own favorite accounts in the comments!

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

Why are crocs named after crocodiles when they look more like alligators? Misinformation smh

What I mean by "Meta/X would never" - Never allow a platform like Blacksky to be on the "front page" of their app - Never leave moderation in the hands of a community - Never "allow" that community to have its own business model atproto disrupts @cdixonethh.bsky.social puts it well.

more boffins please

After printing thousands of shirts, our team is now shipping them! Some people have already received a shipping tracking code via email today. We'll continue sending these out over the next week. Thank you for your patience, and we're excited for you to receive your order!

Exciting to see fast traction from @graze.social only 14 months after Bluesky’s public launch! You can use Graze to build your own no-code feed. Bluesky has no intention of pulling in sponsored posts into our feeds at this time, but we are curious to see how ads affect the experience of their feeds.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.
