I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these.
There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

So we should savor it while it lasts. We face an inevitable wave of the same ol' BS.
And I am a big fan of yours.
There's been a huge reported uptake in homophobia and transphobia after giving everybody an invite last week, and I want more time to settle and make sure we are ready to protect this community we have.

numCandidateInPositionList is a list of positive integers denoting the number of candidates for each voteable position on the ballot which I manually generate from the voter website. The algo makes a list that . .
I’m NEVER joining Threads. Not a chance.
But none stays that way, they either grow out of control, or they die.
My real hope is that the BSky team can manage growth and maintain this sense of safety, respect, humor, and community. It's hard. And it *is* really nice around here right now.
San Antonio will NEVER forget you coming here during Blizzard of Death & HELPING Blue SA.
We adore u here!🥰💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💫💙💙💙

Meta needs to be broken up. It owns: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, WhatsApp, and Oculus/Quest.
Alphabet needs to be broken up.

ProTip.. dont actually deactivate your bird account, just delete the app and let their analytics crumble
Nice to see you here.
That should be reason enough to not jump to the threads app. Zuck just wants your data so he can sell it / you as the product to advertisers.
We could always make the comments section of Fox News the new hangout.
Bluesky has a better chance than Threads, where the worst people on the planet were immediately given top placement at launch.
Hard to imagine being more ham fisted about management’s fascist proclivities than that.
1. No Nazis, block them all.
2. NSFW is allowed and accepted.
Reactionaries are champing at the bit to invade this place. They see pushing people who aren't like them out as and making places inhospitable as a sort of natural selection.
It's schoolyard bullying bullshit.
That’s 2x the total number of BlueSky users.
Pretty sure Threads will hit 50M users by Friday.
Maybe 100M by next week.
You may personally have 1M followers by then.
Crazy numbers.
Will hit a million by Monday.
