on the one hand I want you all to follow @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social so she’ll stay here and leave Twitter for good. On the other hand this is the only time I’ve ever had more followers than her in any capacity and I want to savor this feeling because I know it’ll never happen again.

Bluesky doesn’t have to be bigger than Twitter to be successful. It just has to be inviting, engaging and big enough that people can find people and accounts they enjoy engaging with, and or following. Then People tell accounts and friends on other platforms to come here. It’s a SOCIAL network

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit. It's an ocean of blackmail & national secrets within reach of every spy agency in the world.

Here’s the thing: I’m 100% happy to pay for a social media app. Every month. Roll out Bsky Blue tomorrow and I’m in. The problem with Twitter premium wasn’t the premium. The problem was that you would be giving money to manic, drug addled Bond villain.

I keep seeing this Trump where he says the Elon/Vivek vanity advisory committee will be “the Manhattan Project of its era” and I think it raises the question of what, exactly, Trump thinks the Manhattan Project did.

one thing bluesky does better than any other app i’ve ever used is drive conversation. why? because it _incentivizes_ conversation. not through algorithms or through some technological trick. but because the community itself thrives off of that conversation.

The thing about the chronological timeline is that if you have something you want to share, you have to share it a lot. And if you see something you think others should see, you have to hit repost (likes are not public).

Connected cars are like smartphones on wheels. We are learning that they create real vulnerabilities for survivors of domestic violence. Because abusers can track them in their vehicles—wherever they go and whatever they do. We need to fix this. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...
