Headed for one state media. I'm waiting to hear someone talk about US only Internet where we only get what they want us to 😮‍💨 WTF

taylorfrost2023.bsky.social•29 days ago

Exactly bluesky and skylight are critical for democracy and resistance

feistyfemme.bsky.social•30 days ago

Ugh glad I refuse to log back in! Can’t wait for @skylight.social 🖤

ritalinbaby.bsky.social•30 days ago

After the pop-up praising that orange asshole, that app instantly became dead to me. I hung for the next hour or so while it glitched towards death, then deleted the app. It’s infected now, I won’t go back. Looking forward to Skylight!

buildwithtori.com•30 days ago

Hopefully Skylight can be your new home! ☺️

tiktokfinder.bsky.social•28 days ago

Please don't sell to Elon, lets move to US platforms (we can help)

dolisterfilms.com•29 days ago

Dude, it can't be just 2 people running social media.

The way Elon ruined Twitter? I didn't wanna see TikTok go down that way

meganelli.bsky.social•29 days ago

As if we needed another reason to never look back.

dcsnodgrass.bsky.social•29 days ago

So excited for this platform!

yaneshai.bsky.social•30 days ago

Oh hell no!

niclas-183.bsky.social•29 days ago

This might eventually push the EU to finally block X and TikTok and fund alternatives not owned by oligarchs supporting autocrats.

alieninthevillage.bsky.social•30 days ago

TikTok died on the day it went dark. @skylight.social is looking pretty fantastic.

overstimulatedmama.bsky.social•29 days ago

And that’s exactly why I left and deleted TT when I did… had a feeling about this

justsurviving2024.bsky.social•29 days ago

People need to leave those platforms

annielu2.bsky.social•30 days ago

Tori, I have high hopes for skylight!!

buildwithtori.com•30 days ago

Yay! Us too! If we can nail the algorithm and the video editing tools then I think we can make a really cool space for creators and users!!

zschamis.com•29 days ago

Are you guys actively working on reproducing the algorithm or will that come down the road?

zschamis.com•29 days ago

I don’t have a background in tech, but I think I understand this at a surface level enough to ask: Is the current API (like using app.bsky.feed.sendInteractions) robust enough to actually be able to build a TikTok-like algorithm or will it require something new that’s only used in the Skylight app?

ltsnuffles.bsky.social•29 days ago

Is it opensource? I will love to contribute

ziphy.fyi•29 days ago

I don't think it will but the ATprotocol (to my knowledge) is so if you would want to work on a feed algorithm you could do that.

thewhimsicalnest.bsky.social•29 days ago

I would delete it.

ewancroft.uk•30 days ago

Hi Tori, I'm using the open iOS beta. I'm unable to log in because it defaults to a Bluesky-hosted PDS, though I use an independent PDS.

if you could look into fixing this, that would be awesome!

therobbiedavis.com•28 days ago

Yep, that was my number one feature request since it’s literally unusable for me without it.

buildwithtori.com•30 days ago

Thanks for letting us know! Will look into this!!

kimbob5960.bsky.social•30 days ago

i’m not a believer, but I am really praying that Elonia and Felonia come down with debilitating diseases. I want the orange skidmark to have a stroke so he can’t talk.

lunazamoracreative.bsky.social•30 days ago

Omg. To be fully aware yet not be able to talk. Best punishment ever!

fluff20.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yup love TT but since shut down something has changed and it’s no longer the same, feels like they’ve infiltrated it

lisacypher.bsky.social•30 days ago

There will be a mass exodus of TikTok if he buys it. Keep programming, we are counting on you to save us 😁

buildwithtori.com•30 days ago

On it 🫡

bstrutin.bsky.social•18 days ago

If he buys it I won’t use it!

debsakinah.bsky.social•29 days ago

We just need to get our new options up and running. I’m off Twitter, I’m off Facebook, I’m off Instagram and if TikTok goes, I will be fine with it because it’s not the same anymore anyway.

nickyflicks.bsky.social•30 days ago

I came off it as soon as they sent those sycophantic messages praising Trump. I loved tiktok and I'm from the UK, but just don't trust the brand any more. Deleted it straight away and told them why in the end note. I dislike Elon too and deleted Twitter. Come on Tori!!! X x x

kayelyn75.bsky.social•29 days ago

Looking forward to android availability.

faern-me.bsky.social•29 days ago

I’m ready to leave it now. The app is holding back lots of posts. I refuse to make new content for it.

bakeatmidnight.bsky.social•29 days ago

If musk buys it, I’m out.

h42el.bsky.social•29 days ago

I love this for him. He should spend another double digit billion sum on it only for everyone to leave.

dolisterfilms.com•29 days ago

Someone cooked here

ziphy.fyi•29 days ago

Sadly it'll turn into a cesspool and probably have stupid AI features (more than it already does).

h42el.bsky.social•29 days ago

:/ yeah and plenty of people would get stuck in said cesspool. But a girl can dream.

ziphy.fyi•29 days ago

C'est la vie 😔

automaticbells.bsky.social•27 days ago

I mean, he used it to win the election.. so it was worth it. A LOT of people still use that app everyday, especially countries outside the US. Wish that wasn't the case but here we are

h42el.bsky.social•27 days ago

yeah- or, probably, hard to prove it but yeh.

raverrocker.bsky.social•30 days ago

Xwitter is already a money pit for his dumb self

burningredroses.bsky.social•30 days ago

I came to say this too.

nickyflicks.bsky.social•30 days ago

Lol! I didn't know this 😆

netfitz.bsky.social•29 days ago

Hi Tori! I’m excited to be on @skylight.social !! I have a question, I posted a dog video (my account is all dog videos) from TikTok and it has music on it . Is that a copyright violation since Skylight obviously hasn’t had a chance to amass a library, yet?

aaronnic.bsky.social•28 days ago

therobbiedavis.com•28 days ago

Let him. We should want centralized social media silos to end. It will push people to more free and (hopefully eventually) decentralized platforms.

yellowlemons.bsky.social•29 days ago

Let’s go!!

taetertash.bsky.social•30 days ago

Please he needs to be stopped 😩

But at least there's Skylight to hold out hope for 🙏🏾

crewchief535.bsky.social•29 days ago

Honestly at this point, he can have tiktok. It was fun while it lasted, but it's time for a next gen video aggregation app, and I'm excited to see @skylight.social in action.

glypsie.bsky.social•28 days ago

We need the ability to go live. It’s super important right now. Protests and other content is being censored.

deustex.bsky.social•30 days ago

Can’t wait for that iPhone app to get clearance 🤞

cassandthehat.bsky.social•29 days ago

I HOPE he does buy it!! Just about everyone is happy to hop off if he does, and he will have spent some of that never ending hoard of money he has.

fabiomoreira.bsky.social•29 days ago

This doesn’t confirm a deal. It simply means if something had to happen. ByteDance isn’t selling TikTok their only way forward is through a partnership deal.

thereallara001.bsky.social•29 days ago

Excited for skylight to get going! I'll be there

thereallara001.bsky.social•29 days ago

Deleted that ap immediately the second shou put orangina's name on the announcement. In the wise words of Glorilla: Fell out with them hoes we ain't never makin' up

kkreative.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank goodness we have you and your team working on https://skylight.social. Keep up the great work!

neohxc.bsky.social•26 days ago

Elon doesn't have the money. The banks are dumping his loans

https://www.reuters.com/technology/wall-street-banks-set-sell-billions-dollars-x-loans-wsj-reports-2025-01-24/

introvertednav.bsky.social•30 days ago

Cannot wait for @skylight.social because other platforms are getting to (insert word of choice) and we need a safe space to scroll dog vids, odd dances, dad jokes and people just being themselves. #reachforthesky

dijjon.bsky.social•30 days ago

Unbelievable
