And it will happen. Caesars are not necessary for a higher functioning human society. We will move away from centralized to more local and regional governance and eventually to self-governance.
Hopefully, the licensing terms of the Bluesky spin off are AIR TIGHT, since the look and feel of the platform is nearly identical to Twitter. Otherwise, the Musky Nazi would be frothing at the mouth to haul Jay into court for IP infringement.
I mean, it sure is given how most of us feel about Zuck. I'm just saying that the two heads of the big social media companies, Musk and Zuck, have deep seated personality disorders. The fact that she doesn't is an automatic plus
Support the Dems: Valimont in FL-1; Josh Weil in FL-6; Blake Gendebien in NY-21; Crawford for WI Supreme Court in the upcoming Special Elections. DONATE at https://www.actblue.com
EVERY DEM politician should know if they vote with GOP or support the #Trump Continuing Resolution in any way they will be primaried and voted out. It's a sham don't get played.
After Jasmine's #BBBBBB drub, MTG claimed to be a very natural woman:
“Yes my body is built and strong NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle.”
I'm too lazy too read the other comments, so forgive me if it has already been noted that Zuck is absolutely obsessed with Augustus Ceasar and the Roman Empire.
More women millionaires or billionaires please……as they are more likely to have empathy. No shade to the many men that have empathy. Power and money does something to people. And maybe women too but so far this gal’s a GEM!
Started partly funded by twitter, followed by venture capital investment after separation from twitter. Plans for subscriptions for advanced features in future.
TRUMP will be like a wet dream for her… She will scream in her pants thinking about all the freedom. Trump is providing… No more government telling you how you have to live!
TRUMP is making her dream come true… The government will serve the people and stop hiding stuff from the people… They’re exposing Democrat corruption daily
I did not know that Bluesky's CEO was a woman, and my love for this platform may have just increased. Gender is not a predictor of effectiveness, but in a time where women and minorities are being actively disparaged in workplaces her example of solid leadership is important.
Oh look, what a difference it would make if we had more women making the world's decision...not saying it's because she's a women but all the ones standing behind Trump were men...just saying
Other than angel investing, I can't see how they make $.
They say they don't have overlords and people monetizing our data, but the data is free to look at by anyone, and as far as I can tell there's just nominal logging of who accessed what.
That sure is a plus. I always want to know how folks make money on things like that though. When that's hard to find, it usually means that the financier would like to be anonymous.
I can't say I see how great this site is. I'm soo confused when hearing people praise it here. I also don't see a lot of 'user control', it feels restrictive to me. Not a lot of options, character limits, no ability to edit, 60 second clips.. Never cared for Twitter, this is just 2009 Twitter.
I think they *just* launched 3 minute videos. And yeah, there's an "old twitter" feel here - that was the point! To recapture the magic before elmo ruined it. They release new features each month.
I tried it when it was invite only (2 years ago now?) for a weekend and deleted my previous account. This second chance, I haven't noticed much of a difference. I don't know if I'll last here, honestly. It feels lifeless. We can upload 3 minute videos now? Better than nothing but still not great.
I'm not looking to be noticed, but here I'm just sharing posts like a grandma. The lack of effort is a weight off but seemingly less important. Not that I put the work into writing what I share, they just seem looked past with a 'like' rather than any particular impact.
I know, I sound nothing but negative. Perhaps the praise is feeling released from abuses put up with on Twitter. I just never appreciated the limitations. Notifications are a jumbled mess too. It's a feeling of being the poor one in a room filled with rich elites bitching about the richer.
I keep asking the local football club to quit the oligarchs' platforms and come here instead. 1. FC Union Berlin is owned by its fans and stands against Nazis/racism and so on and for diversity and inclusion. 🤷♂️
That’s the one thing I miss here on Bluesky: lack of reporting on sports, particularly women’s sports! More NCAAW basketball, soccer/football and softball, please! More WNBA! More rugby!
I follow that Berlin club's women's team. I started by going to see them because one can still readily get a ticket to unlike the men, and they were impressive. So I follow the ladies more than the men now! Wish both teams joined here!
@mollyjongfast.bsky.social Jay is an inspiration. We can do more in this same spirit. Let's build some AI superheroes to combat the AI supervillains. Please connect with me, I am looking for folks in media to advise on this AI project. https://jenniferwoldman.substack.com/p/the-truth-bot
Before the adulation, I ask you to step back and remember she comes from the cryptoworld and Jack Dorsey, a paypal guy is the major investor as well as Musk. I know, I know , Dorsey isn’t on the ‘ board’…. Still it is nice that Bluesky is easy.

Wouldn't want to see ads though.
Refuse to give Musk, Bezos or Zuckerberg a single penny! If the 99% stopped buying the shit they’re selling, they’d be bankrupt within a few months.

Said to hubs “this chick is just cool, she’s got that vibe”
I’m cautious of all humans, (it’s a trait 😬🙃)
But def rely on that feeling I get from them
She just doesn’t give a “I’m up to shit behind your back”
vibe 😌
(😑🤞🤞*me* “plz be right, plz be right”)
Watch her SXSW session for the full story.
In March
Well played :)
I mean, she’s making it pretty obvious that she’s the anti-Zuckerberg and the anti-musk.
Great marketing ploy.
We only know what she’s willing to show the world.
From what I’ve seen of her, she’s good at marketing.

I would like to see the subscription options, but would consider subscribing to keep BlueSky going.
Makes a decent hashtag.
Gotta love the sentiment.

For now at least she lets me be sceptical of her on her website.

It's nice while it lasts

Maybe Icelanders have some advice?
Our relationship with tech companies should always be adversarial until they share liability for what they sell.
