Seems like BlueSky has been created and fostered by people with tech know-how and a passion and drive for innovation. Probably how Twitter started, but seeing how that's now reduced to a lumbering sloth hoovering up Temu money (🤮), it's great to see you people leading the charge.
Anyone else here having a bug where they can’t follow anyone new? Search for profile, hit follow, go back shortly thereafter and have to hit follow again, loop on repeat.
I didn’t know Kenny Rogers played upright bass! I knew Kenny played bass in the First Edition but the upright was news to me. Such a cool version of “Blue Sky” too—I’d never seen this clip. Thanks for posting! @chuckpdx.bsky.social
Hey Jay got a guy trapped in the buffer, he is claiming to be a 21st century Elon, he's complaining about "Let that be your last battlefield" being his only source of entertainment.
I don’t understand any of the technical stuff, but I do understand that this platform is run by people with ethics, who care about it being a safe and exciting place. Thanks for making it!
SO happy to be here! Already connecting after only a couple days! WAY better than the (other) place! You know, the one where “that mark” does NOT “mark the spot”! 😂😅
I joined Twitter so I could follow TFG, but it became a great way to get different information from lots of people.
I am grateful you are here.
And so are a lot of the accounts I followed over there!
Thanks for this thread. Now I don’t feel like this is just another platform to turn sour. Interactions so far have been a breath of fresh air and boost to morale.
Awesome job to all from the beginning to now.
And May I say thank you so much for bringing us to life this wonderful platform so that those of us can express ourselves freely. We are so grateful to you, Jay! 🥰🥰🦋
I am so proud to be one of the invite only ppl! This has been such a great experience to watch it grow and then really take off on its own. Kinda like parenting...😊
Great to hear about the 20M new users, more about the Bluesky/Twitter backstory and so many reasons why EM is not the brightest firework in the box of crackers.
TBH I didn’t pay much attention when they last discussed monetizing because it seemed a bit of a side issue.
I wouldn’t have too much trouble with a few ads I could skip over. The problem comes when the ads are too numerous. I find FB almost unusable.
I joined via invite. This is now my go-to app. Hated how had to avoid posting real opinions in the other place as couldn’t cope mentally with the negativity and hate from largely anonymous accounts. So far so good here although have been cautiously tentative initially.
How will you avoid being eaten by the usual US greed for more, bigger profit? How will you avoid the destinies of for example Skype, WhatsApp and for that sake Twitter? I for my part still have to see a successful US startup who’s able to resist the billions being offered by the Dark Side
Would you like to spend a few words on the mobile app? In the #flutter community I'm sure there are lots of devs who would like to know what's built with, how many people are maintaining it, and so on 🙏

I started to enjoy social again, thank you.
FB did it to MySpace, Twitter and Instagram did it to FB, and now like a Phoenix from ashes the cycle continues. May Bluesky live long and prosper.
And now people you explicitly blocked can see your posts. That's bullshit.
Probably happen sometime around New Year's Eve....😏
