I went to Threads and Mastodon from Twitter back when it was still Twitter before you-know-who got his mitts on it. I've been lookin' for folks ever since. Plus, name change! 🫠 But looking to meet folk here now.
I don't know the answer to that. I'm guessing the original $13 million from Twitter has dried up (https://x.com/bluesky/status/1518707604750430208) so now it's being bankrolled by Jack Dorsey and Jay Graber.
Though the nature of Atproto means anyone can run servers for their own data.
Afaik right now it’s from Jack (mostly if not entirely) and is a public benefit corp. I don’t know much about the monetization strategy but I would happily pay $8 for this.
Tech Bluesky has been small, not counting atproto developers. But lots of other communities are going strong! Honestly, I've had more fun and engagement here over the past year than I ever did on Twitter—to the point that I can live without Tech Twitter just fine if it never migrates.
Hello! 👋 I just recently transitioned from graphic designer to web developer. I joined Bluesky as soon as it was open to the public to register accounts, but the latest migrations are encouraging me to use Bluesky at least a bit more, although I'm more active on Mastodon.
Hey I’m Andrey. I’ve been doing and speaking about design systems and frontend (mainly react) for quite some time before burning out on social. I’m one of the https://MonoLisa.dev creators.
I've started trying to post on here and help bootstrap things. I get the sense a lot of people are lurking but there's not a ton of conversations going yet

Hi, I'm Simeon. I do browser extensions and web front end stuff 👋🏼☺️
who else??
waiting and hoping this website gets more traction than that other one so we can jump ship completely!
We've been trying to make some starter packs too! https://bsky.app/profile/angiejones.tech/post/3l6w2kpkdjk2r
Good chance for us to start from a clean slate with friendlier vibes :)

Wouldn't say it's the same as old Twitter (yet) though.
Don't know anything about Bluesky, but hoping its the kind of conversations I used to have on Twitter 4-5 years ago to be the norm again.
I'm a front-end dev and accessibility advocate based in Toronto 👋
Someone should turn this thread into a starter pack 😁
But I’m thankful for this thread because I needed more web dev people to follow on here
Checking things out 👋

I'm hoping BlueSky won't turn out like Twitter with bots everywhere you go 😅
Hey everyone 👋👋 Just created my account today, so far so good.
Cheers for the thread, found a lot of old follows here.

It's not as obvious as here, for sure.
