I want him and everyone here. The power is in the @bsky.app platform.
There is no one benefitting from algorithmically driven influence here.
Every post stands on its own merit. Every engagement can generate more engagement.
It’s bigger than any one person

Mark: absolutely not! His cowardice and bending the knee to Trump and Elon is why we all unsubscribed after being lifetime LA Times readers.

Here, everyone controls their own experience. There is no one influencer defining how to algorithmically amplify trolls and mis-information
This place is not Twitter. You control your experience
Hmmm, great question. A co-op where capitalism and oligarchs are kept in check
He can show up here if he wants, but he won't, because lacks the fortitude to take the criticism
Novel concept. Might work.
Oligarchy
Until a billionaire like you comes along, buys the place & has to figure out a way to get a return on their investment. That's just capitalism, dude.

If you only want like minded people, you can choose that.
If you want a wide cross section of America, you can choose that.
If you only want to hear from billionaires, go for it.
If you want to be in a niche community of Brazilians, that's also an option.
Did Mark Cuban repost a skeet from Mark Cuban, quoting Mark Cuban?
I can already tell the community is a good one.
Establish a media company that is safeguarded from impending attacks by being tried in legal courts Trump can't control?

You have a big influence and I appreciate you. Adopt Google's defunct "donoevil" motto if you haven't already.
Cheers
For example… I might have politics tab, Econ tab, musician tab - along with the general Following
Mission accomplished
The walled garden is a dumb approach to a social media site.
"It is not to create a walled garden and use that to bludgeon our competitors, which is sometimes used by some companies."

Shutting that off, blocks the FLOW, man…
Mainly because because he only loves himself.
It's the rare billionaire that doesn't think they're the smartest person in the room and any disagreement with them is just the other person not "getting it".
Would you allow federal criminals in prison to have a BlueSky account? Where does it end?
It's not the best platform, but it is in the top 10.
On an even playing field, their positions must stand on their own merit.
Low bias
I think you have a very
good approach.
It has, evidently, served
you well in business.
Relativity free of trolls and low number accounts like mine are actually seen.
I’m having a good experience here and I intend to keep it that way. 🦋
That's cool, but real discussions about real shit are hard to have with people that need to have them when everyone is like "Yea! Fuck Trump!" over and over.
Memes are honestly the best and worst things to happen to internet culture. They oversimplify.
I see no reason that anyone who can follow the terms of service/community guidelines (which you agree to on signup), shouldn't be welcome to join.
If they can't, then I fully support reporting until banned.
We're just looking for little break from the relentless BOTS and RW nazi's, insurrectionists, misogynists and nutjobs.
Their cruelty to mankind, fealty to the mighty dollar and their fake Gawd is exhausting.
"oh look Marky Mark follows us, oh no it's the other Mark".
Do we not deserve love as well?
So yeah, there is a hierarchy to this place too.
Conversation. They wanted to lynch me because I didn’t support the murder of that CEO
Until people realize this, it will never be anything by trolling and strife.
There is no meaningful personalization to speak of. And switching between a bunch of feeds is high friction and bad UX
I hope it will come but also the bsky team seems too reliant on 3rd party devs
As a fellow Billionaire, I get no more views than the average Joe.
Would love to have more people here.
So long as there is not a limit on the # of blocks and mutes we can do, I'm fine with it.
let them come
Either way, it is truly all about the platform and not the individuals. As long as gifters are not allowed to spread lies and propaganda, then by all means come and join the community.

Don't understand how 'conflict of interest' and 'appearance of impropriety' no longer matter. Not keen on getting signed up for manipulation and misdirection as is done elsewhere.
i'm nobody, but the sexy girl, lottery winners, and self-help guru grifters seem to be influencing the "engagement" here more & more.
i checkout anyone who follows, easy since it's like 10/week and only 2 legit.
Now filling up with "suggested follows and shortly there will be ads.
Mark A Lago must be in competition with Leon for trump affection.
I think it was a comment on not wanting anything to do with the chucklefuck over here.
Right now we have a major destructive political movement dedicated to breaking all the rules.
You’ll NEVER understand how this works.
There are a lot of journalists here now because there’s a market here for news. That LAT CEO is blatantly hurting news. No.
I think that ismore of the same just lite
Then all of a sudden, he needs a little DEI in the algo to make sure the masses can comprehend his true genius as a shitposter.
Concerning.
I'm only saying if Bluesky keeps gaining relevance (which I hope it does) then the G-rumpy O-lde P-atriarchs of the GOP will HAVE to start posting.
That's all. No need to get defensive.
I'm here for normal people being weird and product safety advice.
