Get rid of SMS length limit. Add Groups. Make censorship harder. Fix threaded discussions. Add Help system because so much of this does not make any sense. Been online since the 80's. Seen it all. This is a mess.

King status fr fr

as head of product, my job is simple: listen to you and bring you more of what you want from social. first up… a feature so requested, we lost count of how many times you asked. any guesses??

Therein lies part of the problem, at least as I see it. Real conversations need to have depth and flow naturally without feeling restricted or corralled into a dumbed-down version of what people really want to say. Finding a creative way to introduce long-form content, while continuing to give...

That's, frankly, the secret sauce that stops brigading and harassment campaigns.

"No walled gardens" awesome, so you're gonna leave our NSFW content intact then, right??

Shame nobody showed you how to type capital letters……

Keep yer hacks to yerself!

The most wanted feature is “turn off reskeets per user” and they keep adding other stuff we don’t want. Please do this. We are begging. BEGGING.

Please do so. Diversify the content a bit more - improve your algorithm

@bluesky.app What's up with this? False positive, or something to be worried about?

Welcome

Congratulations, Alex! When I deleted my account on the "Brand X" social media platform, I looked at where I wanted to move and selected BlueSky!!! I can't believe how far BlueSky has come in the last 6 months, and even better days are ahead. A big "Thank You" to you and the entire team!!!

welcome :)

Raise the character limit on posts to a *reasonable* amount... like 1024 characters or more!

Brother what's up with the elon and louigi situation?

Welcome, can I ask for a chronological feed instead of always going to the most recent when refreshing?

I've never been allowed in any community, I'm just here to call out @jay.bsky.team since Jack isn't on here. Not a fan of the fascism his company did to me. Or what @bsky.app did. So, anything that makes it easier for me to call them out would be cool. Thanks.

Are you responsible for getting translation working again on Android? If so, thanks. The previous person left it broken for ages!

It may not be as frequently requested but a suggestion: embed videos from Instagram and TikTok to reduce the re-hosting via re-posting. The goal here is to reduce (1) resources for Bluesky, (2) video feeds with filled with redundant videos, and (3) improve discovery of original video creators.

Dog knows this product needs help. Worst BBS software since 1983! Threading is a joke. No groups. SMS limit. Buggy as hell. The next MySpace unless you fix it soon.

Twitter before the heart had some other symbol ♦️

Welcome! Please give us the ability to edit.

Can you ban the assholes that have for some reason been getting defended by the Bluesky moderation team?

hope you continue to make this for lack of a better prescription one of the most kind positive social media areas. Your site, if it’s actually your site has helped me in so many ways.

Larger character count. At least match Threads.

Implement activity pub and interoperate with mastodon.

Most videos only play 1/2 way through for me. Not sure if this is a known issue. Or maybe a setting on my part.

There are hundreds of people that can confirm that i am not

Whoops citizen

How would anyone know you don't post anything only reply, that right there is a huge red flag but a bot wouldn't know that....

Ipad app yessss

Congrats! May you bring more positive changes to the community!

I hope you understand that the less you follow in Twitter's footsteps, the better this platform will be. If you care about the product you will take it upon yourself to be the voice of pushback not to us the people but to your bosses.

wrong with that in any way, I'm just picky with my feed and I'd rather it not move until there's something new to see, if that makes sense, but I'd still like to see them reposting things from others. Unless that's how it already works in which case it should be a bit more clear.

why not product of head

Congratulations and good luck in your new position.

If I block someone, I want it to block all their followers as well.

HI Alex, congratulations on your position. Biggest request - if Bluesky will eventually monetize with adverts, please allow a paid subscription option where we can avoid them. The ads were the beginning of poor user experience and perception of product on twitter.

Classified section please 🙏

Congratulations! I hope you love your new gig! (And please could Bluesky add a Bookmark feature? It's the only thing I miss from the other place. Thanks.)

Create an account specifically for users to provide feature requests. Create 13 week development cycles. Test, test, test.

Don't you hate pants?

I hope you have a good lawyer.

Good point. There should be an option to not see any media. Or have the media hidden by default until you choose to see what it is. If you're in a sensitive environment, never choose to see it. Barring that, a feed that hides all media posts could be a workaround.

Congratulations on inheriting an echo chamber.

Why am I getting inundated with women exposing their breasts. I keep blocking and keep getting them. As an 81 year old great-grandmother, I'm not all that shocked, but it is irritating.

congrats ! exciting ! please show reposts in lists (as is the case on Twitter) !

Bookmarks please, so you can save for later.

... you know you choose what you see here, right?

Any insight as to how far away is insertion of pics in messages?

Welcome! A heads-up: most of my followers are fake bots. If you're the one responsible for maintaining this system for bluesky, it might be time to tighten up the bot detection and cleanup processes. Thanks!

On my IPad I only get a small screen. Any way to make the app fill the entire screen like Twitter (X) does ??

You'll ride horses together? Useful! 🤣

Enjoy the good life. 🙇‍♂️

just not the shitstorm over on twitter please...

+1

if only there was a natural object in the lexicon already that would afford for this

this is honestly the worst thing about reddit

1/ Hey Alex, wishing you great luck! I loved my time on the team there and am rooting for you guys. Reddit mostly nailed it with subreddits. The problems stem from them being a centralized and closed network. I've been on Reddit+Twitter since they launched and always believed they were merge-able.

another vote for a reddit feature: collapsing sub-comment threads. this is one of my favorite things in reddit. when an odd deep dive sub comment thread goes off, it has a life of its own but if its not YOUR mood you can just collapse it and go to the next comment at the level you're currently at

Yeah it is but giving people power and letting users opt-in to succumbing to that power within a specified scope seems unavoidable if you want real and unique communities.

Building @blebbit.app with this vision in mind, taking inspiration from Discord and FB Groups as well

Call them „Circles“ and serve them on Bluesky+.

What do you mean by can't post into them? Because I don't see why you couldn't

Yes Jake 100%. I've been saying the same thing for a long while. Sub communities like what Reddit have would be great.

Yeah makes sense

Yes, I am building a platform for communities that lets them decide how they want to look and operate (so a one-size+fits-all choice is not dictated by the platform) @blebbit.app

Follow alert

does bluesky have any ux function within product? if not, are there plans to establish one?

Congrats Alex! When will we get the feature of sharing images on the chat? Being mid chat with someone and wanting to share a photo and not being able to, feels like crashing on a wall while running full speed.

Congrats and welcome!

Would be great to start getting creative people together to ask what they want and need!

Good luck

Can you add an #editButton?

Tell them to include more than DNC pundits on "catch up," the same ones who led their own party to defeat. They just need to shut up and let the People talk.

Congrats. Bookmarks. A limited amount because I used to save everything on Twitter! Say something like 50? Some posts are worth saving.

Give us a goddamn edit button, Alex

*bzz*

Already implemented. The pain you feel is electrical activity is your brain :)

🙏

Congratulations!

Congratulations and welcome, Alex!

Congratulations!

Why does nobody respond when you su .it and appeal. My account is labeled rude and most of my posts go unseen. I was rude 1 time to a maga who was rude first. Not user friendly at all.

Do they like bookmarks?

Happy to have you in Bluesky, welcome to the social network!

Fuck yourself and everyone in the staff for this goddamn site, you transphobic pieces of shit

That's true, I did notice my screen reader skips the rich text parts but that could be overcome easily enough. As a tinker, my first approach is always 'this can be fixed'. I have 10% vision & have modified many computers for accessibility for disabled folk so it's important to me to get that right.

Cool. What does that job title mean exactly?

Congrats! Now, PLEASE implement a "bookmark" feature (optional, or by default) so I can open the app to see my feed at the last post I read, and scroll forward in time from that last point.

Oppose Ai and age-verification, for that way lies the road to hell.

Welcome 👋
