Bluesky is exciting because of the potential to craft a new human-focused social media. I hadn’t thought of this idea before, but it is exciting to be on a platform where ideas like this have a chance of becoming reality. (1/)

I’m getting increasingly annoyed by my feeds being dominated by US posts. Some is fine, but it drowns out European, UK, Scottish and local posts. This is important as we need to build connections, community and resilience locally. @bsky.app could help by enabling geographical filtering.

The best digital spaces need to value human connections and human communities. Orgs like @newpublic.substack.com are imagining what local digital spaces might look like. newpublic.org/local (2/)

Work is exhausting, especially in western capitalism where value extraction and growth are required. So we need easily accessible digital spaces. Sometimes that’s all we have energy for. We also need our digital spaces to draw us into community. We failed with legacy social media. (3/)

I’m drawn to @bsky.app because custom feeds offer the ability to experiment with building a better social media. While custom feeds are pretty technical currently, there’s every reason to hope they’ll become more accessible in the future. Algorithm choice and algorithm control are critical. (End)
