It feels wonderful to have been welcomed by so many of you here on BlueSky... especially the sticking it to Leon part. 😛

Oh look! It’s a gallery of things I must now order online because it takes 20 minutes to find the Keeper of the Deodorant Key

Brief update on our ongoing efforts to allow users to specify consent (or not) for AI training: 🧵

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Are you a social media manager running an account for an organization or high-profile individual? Or do you own a website and want a simpler username? On Bluesky, you can verify your account by setting your website as your username. We just refreshed our how-to guide:

Thanks for your patience as we navigated some technical difficulties today! Moving forward, the performance issues you may have noticed should hopefully be resolved. TL;DR we're so back

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

It's time to take solace and pride in what people disparigingly call a bubble. I don't need to talk to the 'other side', to the hate-filled, the reactionary, the proudly low-info. I don't have their books on my shelves, I don't invite them over. And I don't need to hear what they have to say online.

All right, my Twitter account has been completely deleted.

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome! With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Welcome back.

the main reason i don’t argue with people about voting on the internet is that if you don’t feel any particular obligation to exercise your right to self-government — if you don’t see it as simply a fundamental task of citizenship — then there’s nothing i can say to persuade you otherwise

Look I never play this card but I studied German politics and the rise of fascism and this IS THAT. We have arrived at the end game. Not hyperbole or exaggeration this is THE EXACT LANGUAGE. Anyone who has studied this recognizes it like a meteorologist seeing a gathering hurricane

Bluesky is relaxing 💙🦋

this is the clearest evidence possible that there is no way for harris to satisfy either the call for more media hits or the call for more details. the political press has its narrative and it is not going to budge for it, even if it has to make up a reason to dismiss actual engagement with media

Oh yeah, the economy was doing awesome in 1932. Nobody Google that. I'm sure President History Guy has it right.

i love when mac os desperately warns me that a new program i'm trying to launch was downloaded from the internet. yeah i know thanks! that's where most downloading happens these days!
