Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

Just going to reiterate - We are on this bot problem. We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them in the signup process, we shall fight them in the notifications

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

No. Listen to Hank: "Populism is not an ideology. It is a marketing strategy." And read Arendt: Authoritarianism is not about ideology but merely power. Do not read too much into what they say. Pay attention to what they do.

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

lol I guaranteed the current infra to 25M users (but expected to be able to push it further) but the team is great and on the job and we had growing to 100M without major architecture changes in mind for the current implementations (except the current v1 Relay service) so things should be good🤞

This is an interesting detail about how domain names work The .gov domain name is controlled by the US government, which means that if you see a user with a ".gov" handle, you can be pretty sure they're real

@bmeiselas.bsky.social: I do gotta say, congrats to QAnon, I guess. What a run you guys had, from going after the Deep State and the shadowy billionaires and the child sex traffickers to putting those people in power. You got Trump—Jeffrey Epstein's best friend—going to be president, Matt Gaetz...

Like Joe & Mika, I would also like to announce that I am “restarting my communications with Trump.” However, I will do it in a slightly different way: 🖕

I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

It’s going to be amazing to watch how quickly Twitter loses its utility when liberals eventually flee the site and it turns into Gab or Parler or Truth Social.

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.
