bluesky is still struggling to be a place where i can hear about breaking news and, maybe more importantly, breaking memes. it has its own memes for sure, but it is, for better or worse, detached from a broader internet culture, and i'm hoping that will change

THAT is a reason for you to blame BS to not have "Breaking News" ?
The world is doomed...
We used search engines with our terms of choice,
and did not rely on one app only.
You can also make a MR with that feature to Bluesky to implement it, though...
It is the right order..
Ever considered to change your name to:
O Sam,
to have more success in your career?
Instead, it will enhance its functionality and create a smoother user experience.
Creators will contribute their skills and content, adding immense value.
An alternative is needed to achieving this progress.
Come back to me when you have a case rather than a promo-deck of platitudes
breaking news is critical and as Bluesky develops scale this will emerge.
Also, did you know the new AG pick once stole a dog:
You can create a favorite list and put in the feed tab as I did
Follow the news and memes rather than expecting them to be dished up on your plate
I’m finding breaking news showing up here a lot faster than on any other platform
Just not enough of them…
Bluesky may get more into... well, all of THAT *some vague sensation of caring about too many things that don't matter*. If it does, I'm afraid I won't be sticking around. No big deal. It just won't be for me anymore.
He watches the news so you don't have to
If something important happens, trust me, you will know from him
Also just follow the major news orgs, they'll break news
We should all strike to wean ourselves off the "topic of the day" mentality and immense ourselves more in communities we are-
It was hard at first but now I find it refreshing. If you love games, or specific series or movies, or books of art, or passionate about a specific sport etc, you can literally just seek for that community and actually engage in the "topic of the day" for that community -
Chaos is gonna happen every day, that's the consequence of electing a chaos agent; we can't allow it to consume our lives
We can both live + keep up
I think part of that journey is a responsibility for us to post more and be more active on it as well. To make it what we want it to be.
Hopefully there will be a starter pack of all the good people to follow to keep up with the good memes etc.
You just have to find the people you would like to add.
This looks like user error.
Here’s some 😂
Let's hope for place hate free
Also, love all the cool ppl I'm meeting here. And lack of Nazis.
(You can set the time for muting, which is nice. I put it at 30-day mute.)
Paging @dougboneparth.bsky.social
I can deal with no memes for now.
I rather think that it has not yet reach critical mass but it's on its way.
Just my 2 cents.
No offense but broader internet culture got really stupid right around the time MAGA took off. That was a bigger impetus for me to stop using social media.
But some tight asses need to loosen up a bit.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT SAME ISOLATION GIVES US A CHANCE TO BUILD A NEW CULTURE. TO MAKE SOMETHING BETTER.
EITHER WAY, IM’A SHITPOST IN ALL CAPS.
If someone is still on X after this graph below don't with the following anyways..
it feels like a room filled with people above the age of 35 exclusively, like everyone's trying to network at a business conference or something
But the good thing is you can create custom feeds to find whatever niche you want.
Btw this is just one of many of those post
With Bluesky I have to put in effort to curate and get a feed I enjoy. Pros and cons ig.
Currently I mostly see American centric posts about right vs left but I don't care about those stuff and a smart algorithm would remove it automatically.
Hopefully they can improve the interface to easily do this. It is a hard problem at the end of the day. And right now I see a lot of what I don't like on my discover feed.
I’m still figuring out what I can do here.
Wicked was a fantastic series. Maguire's writing is intoxicating. 🧹
Excited to see how that plays out.
