Cubs did well IMO.

wtf do you mean the guy who made Inside is going to be the next prime minister

Plenty more to come for bsky sports, but beyond anything else I appreciate that our culture here is one of celebration and enjoyment vs. dunking, rage bait, and harassment. Bluesky: we actually like sports.

Bluesky has the juice (Brad Stuver is an active MLS goalkeeper for Austin FC campaigning here on Bluesky for MLS All-Star game votes and I will vote for him)

To all those that follow me on Twitter/X, both my personal and Arsenal accounts have been hacked and I no longer have access to either 😩 The owners have been no use whatsoever, therefore I am thinking of making this account live to supply info.

I've seen a lot of chatter today about Instagram ending support for optional End-to-End Encrypted DMs. I helped to lead on cryptography and privacy for E2EE in Messenger and Instagram for many years, until I left around 10 months ago, so it's disappointing to see it being removed from Instagram.

Apropos of nothing, @defector.com has the championship belt for best website on the internet right now. Both reminiscent of and better than the peak blog era internet.

Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app. I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.

This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here. I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!

search is getting an upgrade soon. if you could fix or change something thing about it, what would it be?

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto. Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky. we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

These books are fun and the event will be good. Also it won't be 13 degrees anymore. Come through if you're around.

Super Bowl feed traffic is bigger than expected! Tossing some fixes in place

Haven't seen a sports-specific starter pack for Washington Post folks affected by recent layoffs so created one below - please show them your support and give a follow (let me know if I've missed anyone too!)

You’re the best Christine. Thanks for everything!

I am absolutely over the moon to welcome @mlsist.bsky.social, @jeffrueter.bsky.social, and @ellabrockway.bsky.social to the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/guardian-us-...

might it also be the official app of finance

Tracking Bsky user activity during Bears-Rams: you can really see the exact moment that Caleb made the throw to take it to OT, and then there's another peak but idk what that is let's ignore that one

Highly recommend. Some great insight into the complexities of players' associations and governance during the back half. As Andy says it's unusual that the burden of progress is often put on athletes who find themselves caught between federations and their colleagues..

yeah fairs

Today is Free Friday at Defector! Everything we post on Bluesky all through the weekend will be a gift link. 🎁

HUGE FIRST BSKY POST

quick proof they’re doing this

If you think there was a lot of baseball talk last night, that’s because there was A LOT of baseball talk last night Green line below shows activity during the game, vs. the day before (yellow) and last week (blue). The peaks are 66% higher than normal We have the juice

hey folks, we've heard reports that some posts and accounts weren't showing up in search. there was a technical issue on our end that prevented a small number of new posts and accounts from getting indexed. we're backfilling the missing data now, and search results should return to normal soon.

A seemingly small but very big change - you should 100% be using post notifications as a way to keep updates

also shout out to kenny beats on production who keeps proving a point across genres

ball cannot be stopped

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission) Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

new podcast ep with @minakimes.bsky.social available now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

If you’re inclined to make financial decisions based on Rafael Nadal videos maybe that’s just the universe working itself out

I have created a Bluesky Starter Pack for Artist Alley at Twitchcon San Diego 2025! Check them out, follow the creators, and then show your support directly at the convention! go.bsky.app/9dCJZJF (I am missing a few that I couldn't find - tag me and I'll add!)

Please I beg do not bring the “how do I fit this into my banner” posts over here

Almost all of the top Bluesky links on Reddit over the past week have been sports posts - happy first weekend of the NFL season folks www.reddit.com/domain/bsky....

NFL Bluesky! I'm gonna edit/add to my starter pack a bit this week before pushing it out again before week one. If there's anyone you think should be added, drop their names 👇

We launched some updates to the Discover feed today. This likely won't affect existing users as much, but for new users it's a big improvement. Basically: the ML team managed to build an improved topic classifier, which means Discover is better at responding to selected interests.

Algorithmic Choice! This "For You" feed by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social is what it's all about. You don't have to use Discover. Other people can make great algorithms.
