Seems like there’s a lot of lurking on Bluesky but less posting. Or I just need to really tune my feed.

Upgrading my iPhone right now and Blue Sky reloaded quickly to my new phone, but the other app did not! Maybe it’s a sign.

I am checking Bluesky out again, haven’t posted here in over a year but sounds like folks have migrated over in droves!

I feel like my generation experienced Peak Internet and we’re now on a downward trend. Google Search sucks. You can’t trust Amazon ratings. Twitter & Reddit are at war with their users. Every useful news site is paywalled and every garbage one is free. Turns out 2010s were the good old days.

Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue. You can view our system performance status here: https://status.bsky.app/

Bluesky might need to launch rate limiting to rate limit all the Twitter users coming here to escape rate limiting.

Rate limits are annoying. Especially in something you pay for. I pay for ChatGPT Plus and regularly hit the rate limit there too.

Happy Father’s day to all the fellow dads out there and especially to those whose dads are longer with us!❤️

I’m thinking about picking up a $3500 snorkeling mask that was announced today. Should I do it?

Started the fast.ai course on Deep Learning and now I understand why everyone bought up all the GPUs and why Nvidia stock is killing it.

So many of these long shot Republican primary candidates are giving me Connor Roy vibes. It’s gonna be a wild primary season.

So I stopped using the staging site and using the real one. Is there any real difference? Am I not on the latest code?

Haven’t really been posting or using Bsky heavily due to a social media break. Is this feeds thing new? Any new features I should be aware of?

Reminder: You are no longer on Twitter and there’s no need to subject your followers to updates on Elon Musk’s latest racist shenanigans. If people wanted to stay up to date on those, we’d have stayed on Twitter.

And now there's about to be a ton of PRs to this file by clout chasers. Lock that down quickly @pfrazee.com ! https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/blob/main/src/lib/constants.ts#L40

PSA🦋: We have 24/7 moderation coverage and are still improving our escalation processes. For reference, many social media companies were 8-10 weeks behind on moderation reports for their first years. We hope community, composable moderation will enable our mod team to react more quickly!

Funny how much of my LinkedIn feed is now shitposts. I assume they are powerless to stop the shitposting now. The product itself has become such a joke. They still have a huge reach because the jobless have nowhere else to go, but LinkedIn feels low value for everyone else.

Okay... basically everyone on social media (and plenty of people off social media) have very strong opinions on how content moderation should work. But very few of them have actually done content moderation...

Great builders keep things above board even when the haters come out. Awesome work @pfrazee.com! And please do get some rest.

Interesting to see folks be surprised that Hispanics can become right wing extremists. https://www.axios.com/2022/03/10/rise-white-nationalist-hispanics-latinos Hate is not limited to skin color. There's religious and ideological divisions too. Horrible civil wars were fought over non-racial hate.

Amazing origin story. Ted Cruz created AOC with his viral douchebaggery.

I only popped in for a minute of the live stream but my favorite part was seeing the massive If statements and hearing @pfrazee.com just own up to them saying "yup that's how we do it for now." Great apps don't always have the cleanest, DRY code. And that's totally okay.

Tried to explain BlueSky to someone and the best I could do was "imagine a place where Jake Tapper posts Dadaist shitposts all day"
