About this particular bit, I wrote a scientific paper, not exactly on net neutrality, but with implications on it. Might be of interest to you and your followers: doi.org/10.1111/1756...

Thank you for your commitment

Bom Dia

I know. :)

Huge respect! ❤️❤️❤️

What is a “digital right activist”?

You are absolutely the people we need to represent us as a symbol of prosperity. Thank you for everything you've worked on. It is very much appreciated ♥️

lol yeah not the best nickname as the good place actually ended up being hell in disguise 😈

Some time ago I would have agreed with you. Problem is: the other place is turning even darker, with more and more threats, slurs, hate speech…If anger and hatred are necessary to be thrilled, then it’s not worth it. I’d rather be bored.

Thank you!

That's awesome! Protecting net neutrality and privacy is crucial in today's digital landscape. What inspired you to take on this fight?

thank you for your continued commitment <3

Thank you for sharing! I love the space we’ve created!! 🦋 💙

As an oldiwonk, I didn't understand most of all that. However, what comes across is that you seem like good people. Keep on that track people and you can't go wrong

Or sell it to one lol

❤ it

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for not giving my photography out to the genAi developers.

Thanks Jay. That is very interesting! Onward and upward!

What a fascinating backstory. Nice to know. TY.

I hope it's rights, not Right! 🙏🏽🤞🏽

Dope.

Thank you for sharing that history! So glad that Blue(r) Sky(s) are here! It's such a breath of fresh air to be part of this community. Blue Kudos to you and your team!

Cool story!

Greetings from Kyoto.

I'd love to see Polish 🇵🇱 UI available as well!

thank you!

Ha...

I would guess this is negligible/irrelevant at the moment. They had ±10M users last week; ±20M users this week. The thread mentioned "what's hot" used to qualify as 5 likes. It's still small but doubling in size in roughly a week is impressive.

Loving it so far & well done folks

…much serendipity in your journey… it’s truly quite exciting! …cheers to flying the friendly skies 🦋

Congratulations! And thank you for all the great work you've done to create this stellar community! 💙

Love this platform. I quit X when it changed hands.

I joined before the site hit 2.6 million but only recently started posting regularly. I think I was originally on a waitlist that turned into an invitation. I'm happy to be here, and I hope the site's culture remains like it is now!

Thank you!

In terms of timing, as an artist shifting geography, the word would be auspicious. The other word, coming from y'all on the supplier side, would be conscientious. Thank you for holding to your views. The last word? Overjoyed. 🦉🍁🪔

Hi, I managed to experience before it became public to all. I felt Bluesky was on to great things purely because of the straightforward approach of the user experience. And tried mastodon and .Post and so forth. Bluesky also feels much more structured.

This is the nerdiest thread I've ever read and I love it. I don't understand it but I love the vibe 🥰🥰

Me, as well. But I read it and try to learn something new.

Believe me, I remember kinda bragging to my parents that i had been made s buyer for s major dept store at age 25. Response: "that's nice dear"

I did like the one about the servers being named after mushrooms tho! Cute! 🍄

Many years ago I had a friend doing a Masters in ring theory. I remember him trying to explain it to his mother. She was attentive and encouraging, but she kept looking at her rings with bafflement.

I use computing & social media on a very basic level. But I have no idea how it works. I compare it to someone that can drive but doesn’t know what’s under the bonnet! Lol x

Is it possible to know how many of us are from Spain? For a few days now it has become a trend to be here.

Jay, it is people like you who give me hope for the future.

Ooh..Maybe we can have a contest on what to call Bluesky posts, and the one with the most likes wins!

It would be hilarious if skeet took off like tweet 🤣

é nóis

Thank you!

Love this ❤️

Please do #Bluesky ads in Brazil showing posts from users who switched from the Musky Swamp of toxicity to BlueSky. Re Brazil’s First Lady’s comments today on Elon Musk youtube.com/shorts/fZLzb...

I think you can use any name on an account...?

Congrats on your achievements! 🥳 And thanks. 🙏

I was just following what somebody else had suggested.. I suppose you're right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess they'd change anyway?

Be sure Greece will be number four!!!!! We all got sick of this narcissistic rocket man breaking out b@lls all day long with Mars and anti communism!!! Also we tried to leave Patatas and Sotiropoulos back but these cockroaches found their way in!!!

I remember trying to set up an account. It wasn't easy, and Twitter was so by mistake. I stayed on Twitter until a couple of weeks ago. Geez, what a hateful place. I've now deleted it, and I could be happier.

Trying to get more Aussies on board. Things take a while to trickle down here, but we eventually get it.

Norway is flying in! Lots of Norwegians are disconering Bluesky as the number 1 place to jump in from X, the x-place to be. Thank you for an informing tread.

I just joined a few days ago. I left Twitter about a year ago and have been on Threads. I’m loving it here. I hope you add an edit option. Sometimes our posts don’t come out as we expect so an edit button would really be helpful!

Great job! 蓝天。

Thank you for creating this space. So thankful too the whole team ❤️ My mental health needed this app more than I realized 🥹❤️

Thank you for the immense upgrade from twitter!!!

Hope Italy will join the party soon 🇮🇹

Wow amazing this just seems so much better than Twitter

Back in the day when skies were grey and not blue (again sorry 🥹)

Hello Jay, I hope you’re doing well! I’m seeking a role at Bluesky as a Product Design intern. Based on my experience as a product design intern at the bulb africa and as a freelancer, I believe I could contribute positively to the organization's goals while I grow as a product designer

I cannot believe we are at a point so quickly to be able to say "back in the day" and it still be a decent period of time *post-pandemic* (feels good, though!)

oic

And now?

It is possible to monitor topics and keywords through an API?

13. The TV character Alf has long been a part of Bluesky's lore. When we first shipped custom feeds, our example custom feed showed posts mentioning Alf. Developers, check out our feed template here: github.com/bluesky-soci...

Somehow the What's Hot Classic feed still has the same... ah... unique vibes as it used to.

Love that

I have to be honest, most of what I say struggles to get five.

This is just an incredibly adorable anecdote. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!

I'd still be excited if I could get at least 5 likes...

🍀

Could've named it "what's in the air" or "what's flying".

So I'm totally useless for algorithm for social media since I never use the like button? Oh well.

@camharlacher.bsky.social @theothertbow.bsky.social should we bring it back?

If there are no other replies along the full loaded depth (where it "truncates," which doesn't change based on this), it puts the self reply straight underneath. Otherwise it indents. It could be smarter by only indenting where non-self-replies show up. It's open-source tho, go suggest a change! 😉

The issue is definitely that a 20 posts thread is pushing it... Definitely not a bug, because the whole point of this view is that replies visually connect to what they respond to. Agree though that a fallback to display longer 5+ self reply threads initially on the same level would be nice.

I disabled this experimental feature for exactly this reason :)

What you’ve built is wonderful. It’s even better that it was your destiny! 💙

That sounds fun ig as a way to test, they just started counting between everyone

Thank you for giving us a place to fly free! 🦋💙

"3"

Brilliant, the innovation to make this place as wonderful as it is, it’s so awesome to hear how it became 😊

That is true! :) I hope we can also count here! :)
