Looks like most everyone was commenting on issues during the game and queen B of course. I may be in the minority but it wasn’t the best performance I’ve seen.
I hope it's less creepy than that "Top 250 trending in the last 15 minutes" list that was written a few weeks ago. That one made me want to drink hand sanitizer.
I'm just surprised that the creator(s) of BS would have had these items worked out by now since they creator Twitter. I don't get it. Wasn't some of this anticipated?
I don’t understand. Where do you find what is “trending?” And is this bec of people using # or bec Bluesky app sees what people are posting about? I.e. is it reading our posts?
hey Mark! A serious question. Successful people like Elon/ Bezos
seem to start cool. Ambitious. Develop a good product . More moderate point of view. And then something snaps. They dump the wife. Turn into power hungry wolves. Lose touch with us. What is that? And How will you protect yourself?
I recommend ‘The Burn Book’ by Kara Swisher who interviewed many tech youngsters over the last 20+ years. Observes the transformation from idealists to narcissists with insane money and power.
The post-snap behaviour? A hyper midlife crisis. I am so powerful, why shouldn't I have a new woman? As for these "successful people", I challenge the premise briefly at https://bibliocrat.com/2024/10/10/the-medics/ Really successful people change the world for the good of all. Being rich is not the criterion
Musk didn't actually develop any of his products, and he had a public relations person who kept his racist, priveleged, awfulness hidden.
He's always been this guy. We just didn't know then.
Someone who can admit they were fooled?? 👀 I'm following you!
😁

Another “see this is why” moment. These kinds of positive interactions are just part of what makes @bsky.app much more engaging and interesting than Twitter. Nice to see 👍🏾
I have it too. It's in the search tab. Might only be rolled out to a few users first. Glad to see it coming, this was something I used Twitter for a lot, before the algorithm went to shit.
I was mistaken: On web, Trending appears on the right side of the page, below the list of feeds, with a blue "Trending" label. I had to refresh the page to see it.
Mark. is there a way you can acquire MySpace and then make an app for it? Time we bring back the good ole days of Farmville, the Top Friends list, and all that good stuff.
Joel Embiid posts are hilarious! Most based on the obvious fact that he cannot shoot the basketball without falling down.
He is a Goliath of a man but apparently wouldn’t stay on his feet long in a fist fight. 😂🤣
I think some Twitter items might easily fail on rivals. Your objectives: Understand the online business, understand reasons. NOT imitate. Never habitually emulate like lemmings!
Seems pointless it should be a feed like Twitter but you should be able to to give the trend a rating and also be able to opt out of trends you don’t ever want to see again in your trending
None of the things in my trending are anything I would ever care about (I know it’s new but still)
It's great...but, it should really be on the right side of the screen. On my device, there's nothing but white space below the Feedback--Privacy--Terms--Help.
Since most of the items on my timeline are either newsworthy or political in nature, that "trending list" has very few subjects I'm interested in. But since very little of the music I like, movies I've watched and TV I've followed was ever popular, I guess it makes sense...
Yes, @pfrazee.com posted about the #Bluesky #TrendingTopics a bit earlier, Mark ... excited to see more progress to propel growth, value, interaction & community here. 👍💯
Debating if visual word maps/clouds could be a worthwhile format to show connected trends. 🤔
I just said that phrase in my head and it sounded cool, so I thought I'd share it. I'm not against following trending at all. If your survival as a fish depended on your ability to follow the direction changes of the rest of the school that you were in, that would be important.
MLS maybe, but because I prefer futbol from Europe.
But I like basketball playoffs later on in the year.
And I'm a Metalhead.
So I couldn't relate to this list,personally.
I guess,I'm not "cool".
🤣🤣🤣
I have used X for Finance for years & it has been an excellent source for news, ideas & research. However, it had recently shifted heavily towards politics, esp conservative politics. @bsky.app is currently lacking in finance content. They need to strengthened in that area. It will become huge!
I don't get the Trending Topics on my Samsung android for some reason. I've tried shutting off app and turning it back on but that doesn't seem to work???
Now, if we can only get longer videos, so we don't have to wander over to X to see & listen to the wonderful posts out of Ukraine sharing their various versions of Ukranian-birthed Carol of the Bells...
Obviously the Sixers-Celtics game on Christmas Day trending. The Celtics are starting to remind me of the Fitch-Big Three era when the boys would assume a win and turn on the jets in the fourth quarter. Doesn’t always happen. Live by the three, die by the three!
Haha, I understand the fear of spoilers. Gavin and Stacey's finale is a classic, and I must find a suitable time to catch up. But don't worry, I will never reveal any details!
I wonder when they will play it again? I am in Canada, and the finale showed on our streaming channels (which we can’t record) in the middle of Christmas dinner. Broke my heart.
Oops, that's too bad. It must be disappointing to miss the finale, especially at such an important moment. Maybe you can see if there are other platforms that can re-play it, or wait until it is online to catch up. I hope you can watch it soon and make up for this regret! Merry Christmas!
@bsky.app, I know you're looking to avoid an 'echo chamber' situation, but it would be interesting to know what is qualifying something to be in trending topic, or trending news. I get the feeling that some topics are being ignored because they are not someone's idea of 'trending.'
as opposed to topics that are actively of broad interest. i.e. not seeing the costco board's letter to stockholders from a day ago with over 7k likes, 2k reposts. I ran into it through the 'people you follow' feed, as one or more of those people either re-posted, replied, or perhaps liked.
For non Americans completely useless. Don’t give a fuck about the NHL,NBA, American football. None of the stuff on Trending or recommended is any way relevant
Those are all things meant to distract us from the real crises in our country. Sadly too many voters fall for the distractions. Democracy is boring. They wanted drama. Sucks for the rest of us.
When I search “trending” by tapping the persistent magnifying glass at the bottom of the app, I get World trending and Brazil trending (and some other crap). Is that what you’re all talking about?
Not sure eliminating muted words / names from trending is best idea - not sure why others do it but I just don’t want to see constant mentions of certain people - I still want to know if they are trending though - occasionally it might be interesting to find out why
Nailed it biggie time

Could you also read my post, the one I attached below, it’s also the one pinned on my profile. Your help and/ or repost, anyone’s help and/or repost could truly help us get a Christmas miracle.
My dear friends, if anyone in Europe needs electricity or any kind of labor, they can contact me. I have some friends who work in labor who are very worried about their financial resources. If any friend gets well because of us, they will pray for us for the rest of their lives.
It's still in Beta, so their testing it in English. I don’t know why, but probably because they don't want to display 90% or so of what another country's population isn't interested in. There's a lot of American pop culture there.
I have searched every which way I can think of on desktop, and have come up empty. "Trending" is either not available on desktop or it is very well hidden.
Oh interesting. What browser are you using, and how long have you had a BlueSky account? You don't see "Suggested Feeds" anywhere either within Search? For me it's all above Suggested accounts.
Firefox browser on iMac, I've had an account for over a month. There is nothing above Suggested Accounts for me. Below Suggested Accounts is only Discover New Feeds. I'm in Canada, possibly Trending is only available in the US at the moment?
Being in Canada sounds like a possibility. I'd try Safari or Chrome as a test to see if it pops up. I haven't had my account super long, but maybe they roll it out based on account creation date as well.
Your “emulate christ” is “meh”… When members of a religious institution don’t give AF women & children are being r@ped, it’s a god DAMN CULT! @SOSCSAorg https://SexAbuseRegistry.org
I don’t identify as a Christian. However, the Christ in my view was a great, if not the greatest Prophet. Don’t throw *me* in with those despicable people. Thanks in advance.
RIGHT god DAMN NOW YOUR god DAMN CHILD R*PING CHURCH BUDDIES ARE HIDDEN & PROTECTED BY YOUR CHILD R*PING CHURCH CULT AS THEY TRY TO SILENCE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE SURVIVORS WITH STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, NDAs, & the fear of god & hell to rape children & not report for decades if ever!

Money just makes you more of what you already are. It gives you the opportunity to be more generous, or more selfish.

his actions are not surprising at all if you can actually think critically.

Freedom of choice.
How funny that would be on Bluesky, if they only give it to famous people. 😂

My goal in general is to not follow what's trending.
I want what's trending to follow me.
But I like basketball playoffs later on in the year.
And I'm a Metalhead.
So I couldn't relate to this list,personally.
I guess,I'm not "cool".
🤣🤣🤣
It’s not one of my headers.
Merry Christmas and God bless. 💜🕊
Do you know if that's coming?
What a waste.
At this point, I'm not finding much substance on this site.
Too many foreign headlines that mean nothing to me.
Too many topics I find unnecessary and actually worthless to my life.
All those "trending" topics add to my thought.
Maybe you could stop pouting and help start an interesting trend.
Yeah. I sound like your mom.
😂
Like a lot of topics, a little of one goes a long way.
been that wwway all along at all social media platforms.
I hate red pandas.
Recommended feeds instead of topics

The Russians shot down a civilian airliner on Christmas Day.
But no one seemed to notice.
I hope its the cute animal!
We don't have Trending Topics here in Mexico.
Why???
