Jay, first of all thank you for following me. Iโm completely honored. Secondly, you are an absolute rockstar and you have given me a place to go that feels safe, especially after breaking up with my eX.
Yes she is! Ans she's one of the reasons I like this server. I trust a woman at the helm. They are exceptional leaders with moral character compared to their counterparts.
You have bookmarks capability in your browser (Ctrl+D set bookmark, Ctrl+shift+B=show bookmarks)
A tool to force OTHERS /your friends/ to show them your bookmarks is of no use - only for democracy stealers (and eshop nonsense offerings)
Fitting, considering that mycelium are a literal living, biological network. That just gives me an even better feeling about the whole thing.
I never bothered with Twitter, and left fb years ago. But, this just feels right. Congratulations, on the recent success. Here's to the future.๐ป
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/nowforager is a good movie about mushroom foragers. If I hadn't known about the movie through one of its actors, I would have worried about a scruffy character I saw carrying a knife and burlap bag off trail in the mountain woods.
As someone that had to manage a business that depended on servers staying rock solid during heavy traffic spikes, I love both the metaphor and that the servers are named after mushrooms. ๐๐
I, and I know I speak for so, so many, thank you. @bsky.app has been such a tremendous gift. I study radicalization in political science, I can say without hesitation, this was a disinformation election.
The fact that Bluesky exists & is growing should give everyone that loves democracy hope
One place I worked named all the servers after gemstones. I once named all the servers at a company after Sesame Street muppets. Now I name them for what they do because I became old and boring.
I'm very into the mushroom names, though I want to know what some of them are.
Oooh, now I am curious what some examples are? I used to name computers/servers based on Greek letters/gods(My main PC is named Zephyr), however now I use constellations instead(My home server is named Cassiopeia)
So cool! But you need to upgrade the emojis on desktop Bluesky. The brown mushroom is just a brown box. Also please make it so the emoji popup stays open so we can add multiple emojis on the desktop version. Thanks! ๐
Only asking because Iโm a curious ops guy and you said โserversโ and โnamedโ in the same sentence: do yโall run your own hardware as opposed to using cloud? If so, why?
@jay.bsky.team I love this & not just because they're fun-gi's & fun-girls but because they are mothernature's 1st artists.๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๏ธ๐ช๐
The universe is speaking to me seeing this post. I know I made the right decision to choose ๐ฆ to be my new social media home. Thank you ๐๐โฎ๏ธ
Please Jay add a bell notifications option that tells you when your favorite people are posting.
Also please get a bsky version of the threadreader app, that works here so I can share threads with Facebook folk.
Youโve got a massive army of infrastructure nerds on here. Is there anything that non bsky people could reasonably do to help? (Itโs fine if the answer is no, but Iโm curious since one of the magical bits of potential of decentralization is communal adaptive capacity)
It might be inappropriate to use certain weather related metaphors to describe the numbers joining #Bluesky.
But here's all the power to our collective elbows.
Stay strong, youโre all doing great!
Look at it this wayโฆyouโve built a community that people are flocking to in droves because itโs absolutely better than everywhere else. Thatโs something!
@jay.bsky.team HI Jay and Team. Is Elon Musk for real here or is that just a parody account. Elon Musk started following me (why would he follow me?) and it may not be a real account. If it is really him - folks need to know. I blocked the account on the off chance it was a scam.
Great tech infrastructure. I certainly didnโt expect such resilience from a fledgling platform. Itโs not fledgling anymore. Bluesky is here to stay.
Guys, the primary reason for Trump's victory was a discombobulated news ecosystem. Voters simply could not get true information about MAGA. The very best reason for joining and evangelizing for BlueSky is its immense potential for being THE centralized nexus of political opposition to Trump & MAGA.
You guys are WONDERFUL !! ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ
I would much prefer to use the app, but at this point itโs only for phones. When will you have an iPad Pro-friendly app that displays in landscape mode?
Can we have a way to view posts from the last one viewed? Like when I wake up tomorrow morning and view here, rather than the feed jumping to the most recent post - I can view whatโs happened chronologically?
Maybe there is already a way but I havenโt noticed yet.
I spent an hour on Friday sitting on a call which cost about $2K in salary time, making no progress on a problem with Reporting performance on a 15GB db. I am so envious and impressed by Bluesky Ops.
@jay.bsky.team - Iโve never paid for a social media platform, but once options are available to help support BlueSky, I look forward to it. I believe in this platform, and glad to be here! Hereโs to 15 million more members! ๐พ๐ฅ
I am perfectly fine experiencing the Bluesky equivalent of 8-bit for as long as you all need because it sure beats the alternative of going back to the bad place.

Believe in yourself little mushroom. When I'm struggling, I comfort myself by thinking if I believe in dinosaurs, then maybe somewhere out there, dinosaurs are believing in me. Then I can handle a couple million more users.

SNAAAAKE! ITS A SNAAAAAAKE!!!
I think I was enoki, but I don't remember, since we didn't have competitions like the houses at Hogwarts.
I don't think death cap or the vomiting russula from the gif (if I got ID right) were ever used.

Podrรญas seguirme por favor...serรก un honor para mi. Gracias ๐๐ค
There is a relationship to mushrooms with his persona, if you look at it right ๐ถ
๐
Love it! ๐
Great day to you and yours.

I figured the shiitake server is going through some things right now. ๐
Or are we talking Laetiporus sulphureus๐
Able to survive the "vacuum" of space.
(Risk of liver failure if wild mushroom roulette goes awry!)
Thank you
Confused the hell out of my managers. Damn landlubbers.

Greetings from ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฟ๏ธ
of jazbot whereami?
And assuming you are using a bsky PDS (if you have a .bsky.social handle, you are!), you can see *your* specific mushroom server at https://pdsls.dev/
For example, I am on the "chaga" mushroom server!! ๐

The new head IT guy was not amused until he got all the 3a.m. alerts
Seriously though it's a wonderful network & thnx!
Also please get a bsky version of the threadreader app, that works here so I can share threads with Facebook folk.
It seems crazy to me that some people actually get to do what they love, lol.
This is by far the best social media experience that I've had.
Well done.
A question. Are you using any electricity created by renewables?
"Live view of our servers hanging in there as [the number of users on here keeps mushrooming]"
A new breath & living space for us users...
Thx you for your dedication Jay ๐ฆ

Prepare for a crash ๐๐คท๐ผ
I mean, she probably has more non-bot followers on twitter than Bluesky has members atm....your poor servers.
Can I join bsky team and help?
I have 18+ years of experience in large scale enterprise developments.
Maybe there is already a way but I havenโt noticed yet.
Thanks :)
โจโจโจ
it is a service that needs ppl working on servers, software and other management and I am ready to pay
That video with the sunflower in the storm comes to mind too ๐คฃ
Just to warn you.
For the first time it feels like coming home

Neat.
Whatever it is, it's not enough.
Lots of refugees from Elon's cesspool
