Bluesky just doesn't look right, even if it is. 😉 It looks like a foreign word that should be pronounced "blues-key", and not a variation of the English phrase "blue sky". 😉 That said, I'll start spelling it "Bluesky", because names should be spelled and pronounced however the owner prefers. 🙂

Butterflies don’t use camel case duh

HyperCard (I try to convince myself I’m not old)

TypeScript ;)

ECMAscript

I dunno about that, but I’m at least gonna try.

no it’s TypeScript

GitHub’ing Bluesky

bluski 🫶🏻✨

Gonna be a mandela effect when they change it in a few

BlueSkye

It sounds like Blewski in my head

BlukeSy

The postings aren't BS? Seriously. The verb "BS" is to post here?

Perhaps camel case - blueSky

I like referring to here as "where the sky is blue"

Has Irving Berlin been notified?

Um actually it's bLUESKY

If true, then you'd pronounce it in American English as: BLOO-SKEE or BLEW-SKI Which I don't think is the intent by anyone? It's: Blue Sky

Any attempt by Bsky's leadership to impose a preferred terminology, such as preferring "Bluesky" to "BlueSky", would probably be more warmly received if Bsky leadership were to see reason on another related issue.

I’m familiar with this feeling from when I used to manage HR software (NOT payroll software)

it does rhyme with that

Oops 🦋

AI not so good at ascii art or I'm missing something.

good luck at your attempt at cat herding!

Bluesky rhymes with brewski and I won’t hear otherwise

Isn't BlueSky better for screen readers or is it actually pronounced "blueski"?

I waged this war and lost with Lesstif/LessTif

in my head, i keep reading it as "blue-skee." halp.

Dupont Circle concurs

Is this particular issue of major concern?

Blue sky

everything on here that ends in -sky is pronounced like that. "blooskee", "nooskies", etc

Lies. Rhymes with hat for life 😂

bisky

I see your pain. When people used to write “Blackberry” while it was actually “BlackBerry”

That's bs

blueski sounds like a russian sad music genre

Finally! ThankYou.

ok, sounds good :)

BluSkii?

@samuel.bsky.team bluSky

I agree with you that we should use it as it’s used in official docs but I my brain alwayss wants to CamelCase. When it’s all lowercase, I want to say Blooskee 🤜🤛

Yuck who would do this

take it into your own hands and turn off capital letters for the entire app

blueSky

@samuel.bsky.team get a BSkyB channel for Bluesky?

Maybe BSsky could work?

I read bsky and think brewski (like a beer)

BS?

I like Blusky, blue-skee, or Blusky, rhymes with husky!

That's pronounced like bee-ess-key, right?

Noted, bLUESKY it is.

Like a polish surname?

But why tho

Sir, are you a bsky developer? Is there a place to report bugs or feature updates?

Sounds Polish. I might be related.

Love to install the BlueSky app on my MAC

Just thankful Justin Timberlake got y'all to drop "The" from The Blue Sky. Bluesky. It's cleaner.

I call it bisky for fun

Pronounced "blue-skee". 😏 @cara.city

If they didn't want camel-case, they should've pronounced it "bloo-skee".

I can accept this, but not ‘skeets’.

As long as I can pronounce it Blu-eh-ski

actually it's bisky

🙌

they heard it on a PodCast

Gotcha

Blue sky

haha still cute somehow

Blues Guy

I use BS, someone told me it's not apropiate in English...

In NZ we call it affectionally call this place kikiorangi (Maori word for blue), as we all migrated here en masse sharing invite codes etc.

Quite a relief not to have a mid-word capital in something trendy, for a change.

青空 😌

Sorry, it’s Bl—sky now bsky.app/profile/esqu...

This is like when the .gif guy tried to correct people If this app had animated replies, I would be posting Bugs Bunny saying “no”

@samuel.bsky.team That's some serious nitpicky Mastodon energy right there. Love from the other side 🧡

any official choice between atproto, ATproto and ATProto?

It's saved in my dictionary as BlueSky because the first time I used it was with a # and camel case helps screen readers for visually impaired people. If a # is all lower case it plays havoc. Capitalising each letter makes sure people with accessibility needs understand what it's meant to say. Sorry

Is it pronounced blue ski 🙃

This is gonna be like Xcode vs XCode all over again.

Bsqui

I would have preferred BlueSky.

BlueSky /bluː.skaɪ/ Bluesky /ˈbluː.ski/

Bluesky and clutch like Starsky and hutch

Rhymes with "brewski."

ʎʞsǝnןq

BSkey

Sometimes, okay a LOT of times, auto correct fucks up

SkyBlue?

when are you dropping the blueSky pro max?

i assumed that was implied! (definitely very weird to hear "Blue Sky" in reporter-voice, like two separate words, instead of blooski)

Fine. Can we also settle on the term skyline for the endless list of posts?

.....sorry......

BluesKy

Moral, surely?

I started using .NeT internally just to really fuck with that exact argument

and also the y is silent

And rhymes with brewski....

blueSky

It's "try to," not "try and." I don't try to avoid prescriptivism.

Not blueSky?

BS without the BS

blueskY?

And you ‘try to’ not ‘try and’

Oh, and it’s ’I couldn’t care less’
