Thank you, Tom!

r-floman.bsky.social•97 days ago

I didn’t see David Frum in it, is he still an an Atlantic writer?

radiofreetom.bsky.social•97 days ago

He is, and he is here on blue sky, they’re still updating that list
@davidfrum.bsky.social

drkathleencorley.bsky.social•97 days ago

Thanks for this list! I missed talking to people.

musicjunkie50.bsky.social•98 days ago

My favorite publication

crispymainer.bsky.social•98 days ago

Ok so I’ll be re-subscribing to the mag in the coming days. It’s been a few decades, I’m overdue.

lizziesmom.bsky.social•98 days ago

I subscribed. The articles on the Atlantic are amazing!

luckyblue24.bsky.social•98 days ago

following all. thank you

bramp.bsky.social•92 days ago

FYI,
For some reason, on Xhitter I'm getting push notifications of your pithier posts. I guess their algo thinks I'll enjoy them. Fair enough. But then I noticed you're not posting here so much. I'm in the process of migrating from Xhitter to BlueSky. Hope you step it up here.

mrliam.bsky.social•98 days ago

No Caitlin!

radiofreetom.bsky.social•98 days ago

Not here yet, apparently

petersjvecrumba.bsky.social•97 days ago

Much obliged!

wyobronco.bsky.social•98 days ago

I was stunned when I realized I was not following @theatlantic.bsky.social, situation corrected immediately

nickikenyon.bsky.social•98 days ago

OK, not really experienced here. What, exactly, do these starter packs do?

samalama78.bsky.social•98 days ago

Follow all those that Tom suggests. It helps them build followers and us get exposed to similar voices.

nickikenyon.bsky.social•98 days ago

Ah! Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

ke0oea.bsky.social•98 days ago

They're easy ways to find followers that you might like. For instance this starter pack is accounts like The Atlantic and writers who contribute to The Atlantic as well as people on Bluesky affiliated with The Atlantic. Check some of these out to find your people:

nickikenyon.bsky.social•98 days ago

Gotcha. Thank you. Who creates these lists? They're not automatic, right?

ke0oea.bsky.social•98 days ago

They're created by anyone who wants to create one! You can create your own if you want. If you click on someone's profile then you will see all of the starter packs that they have already created and you can choose which one to follow.

nickikenyon.bsky.social•98 days ago

Got it! Thank you again! I have a lot to learn.

ke0oea.bsky.social•98 days ago

Here's a decent explainer for you.

Tell Arash Azizi to join!

avimitrani.bsky.social•98 days ago

And you forgot @anneapplebaum.bsky.social !

sweetcheflife.bsky.social•92 days ago

I needed this! Thank you so much for putting together ALL of the contributors in a list. Hey @thebulwark.bsky.social you'se guys 'ave one of thems yet?

jimbochqc.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was not expecting there to be so many of you.

tim-dunn-defunct.bsky.social•92 days ago

You just might want to change that "of no party or clique since 1857" in the Starter Pack description because the act of not choosing is to choose, and it's not likely to be a popular choice at that.

blusurfer.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thank you! It's only been a couple of days, but what I am really enjoying over here so far is that there are thoughtful discussions and comments to posts - my Twitter was pretty curated and the breakdown of civility and intelligence was pretty slow, but now it is unbearable to be there.

tristanf.bsky.social•98 days ago

Where the fuck is David sims? You left out the best one

inspectorhoots.bsky.social•98 days ago

The @theatlantic.bsky.social is indispensable.

markwest63.bsky.social•98 days ago

Followed them all

selesiabyrd.bsky.social•98 days ago

I subscribe to The Atlantic on my ss and school bus driving income. It’s my only subscription to date. Considering Marc Elias too.

robert-cornwell.bsky.social•98 days ago

Don’t forget Nicholas Thomson the CEO, he does daily tech updates on AI @nxthompson.bsky.social and other trending stuff.

moflake.bsky.social•98 days ago

We need Tim Alberta on here.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•98 days ago

Following all now. The Atlantic is my favorite publication.
It’s actually only one of two I subscribe to. The other is The Bulwark. As well as a couple of Substacks.

rickgeissal.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks, Tom

bmuir-ronkon79.bsky.social•97 days ago

Thanks!

lesmj.bsky.social•98 days ago

👍

zactli.bsky.social•98 days ago

Bullet ballots. This needs to be confirmed or disproved, and it seems pretty easy to do.

gminx.bsky.social•98 days ago

Here is a starter pack designed for viewership only. The odds of being followed back or having an actual dialog are not in our favor. I understand they are super important people, busy writing things but I prefer a less commercialized and more personal Blue Sky. Have a nice day.

jakevk.bsky.social•98 days ago

joserusso.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thank you, Tom. I followed everybody on the list.

barbaray.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thank you!

saltnae.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks Tom! Truly hoping this is the place to follow journalists and reporters for breaking news. That’s what I loved about Twitter until it was gutted. I was hopeful for Threads, but it’s useful only if you want to know what happened 21 hours ago.

cheryl-p.bsky.social•98 days ago

Subscribed to The Atlantic a few months ago. One of my better investments this year

lisa-vee.bsky.social•98 days ago

Day made with that one. Thank you Tom!!

dr-blue-sky.bsky.social•97 days ago

plein-de-bulles.bsky.social•98 days ago

Tom, can you please add @nxthompson.bsky.social to this list?

davidilieberman.bsky.social•97 days ago

Where's Anne Applebaum?

scott-conway.bsky.social•97 days ago

Thanks for doing this - love my subscription to the Atlantic, IMO it is the best “magazine” that I receive (yes they still send out paper mag periodically).

Also love hearing Tom on Bulwark podcasts…have his new one with John Heilemann queued up for later today 👍.

mskeen24.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks for posting this!

lizajanep.bsky.social•98 days ago

Followed all, thanks! 😊

biobeth.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks, very helpful.

harrowedsparrow.bsky.social•93 days ago

Love The Atlantic!

billjanis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Here’s one subscriber to The Atlantic specifically because of you. Thank you sir.

yakrat.bsky.social•98 days ago

Why aren’t you in the starter pack? Or do starter packs exclude people you already follow?

sandynetherton.bsky.social•92 days ago

That was helpful! Thanks.

thesepretzels.bsky.social•98 days ago

THANK YOU! Just moved over, really hoping this builds momentum!

bobbygvegas.bsky.social•92 days ago

BTW: (and, I’m not joking) I would fully support your nomination for US Secretary of Defense. To others seeing this: THINK about it.

Yeah, of course, I KNOW it would never happen. Nonetheless… Tom could work a total of one day a month—from HOME via Zoom—and do more than Hegseth would in 4 years.

coug444.bsky.social•98 days ago

Where are Anne Applebaum and David Frum?
