Amazing!

Well, I am enjoying things over here a whole lot more.

Bots. For gods sake, do something about the bots.

Trolls, bots and AI ‘members’!

When they start adding subscriptions, that might get rid of the bots. They are going to roll out a premium subscription and then, I’m sure, they will strip away a lot of features for people who want to use the free service

. This platform may be a 'trojan horse'. Wanky things are happening, like disappearing 'followers' lists and a silent admin when this 'problem' is reported. Be careful folks, this platform may not be all it seems. In fact, there may be danger close on this website. Be advised.

Him along with Rupert Murdoch. The 2 biggest cancers on American society whilst growing their personal wealth on the backs of those dumbfooking imbeciles who never made it past High School. Just check their bio's. They all end with went to that HS and that's it.

But they already have Steve Bannon and one of the co-founders of the allegedly criminal Crypto Tether as Series A funders. Ugggh!

I want to know his master plan. I fear for the future.

I’ve no words 😶 …

Thinking of Elon Musk now brings to mind this Spitting Image classic: www.dailymotion.com/video/x64b8uq

You prevent this best by supporting the platform yourself when things like a monthly subscription arrive. It's very specifically that which keeps the advertisers, special interests, and billionaires away. And it works. I am speaking from direct experience. Support the platform :)

today I learned a new word mommy! entshitification 😂

👍👍🏻👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏿

I habe but one advice to her: whatever you do, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SELL THIS TO MUSK! Sorry for shouting and stating the obvious.

Well, maybe not “all set”, @jay.bsky.team Things do keep evolving. Love what you’re doing here so far though

I need this so much

Well deserved, now don't fuck it up.

Am really enjoying being part of BlueSky. May it always retain its current collegial environment.

As someone who has held C-level positions in both large tech companies and scrappy startups I will say that Jay Graber has shown herself to be an incredible CEO.

Totally rooting for Jay and team! This place is awesome!

THANK YOU, @jay.bsky.team for providing us this much needed refuge. This is one positive outcome from the defeat of our beloved Kamala Harris election.

Her nickname should be "Blue Jay"

A woman with integrity is running it. We are in good hands.

👍

The difference between @bsky.app and Twitter is incredible. The last year or so it just felt as though we were arguing with bots/trolls and being followed by OnlyFans bots.

20 million are bots.

As soon as Musk took over the amount of bots and general nonsense on their went throught the roof. I will not be going back !

That's the beauty of blocking here. Cut off what they desire. They get no interaction and argue amongst themselves while the rest of us enjoy the site

Just keep blocking. It is working for me

Everyone be good!!

She’s so pretty 😍

Oops. This should have said where every other post isn't...

Correct. X recently made some incredibly stupid changes with respect to blocking. They have the feature, but might as well not. We don't look to X for thought leadership. They are the example of what should be anti-goals. They are the best example of what *not* to do in social media.

Enshittification, my new word of the day

Seeing early symptoms of shitification: OnlyFans come ons for example

She/They will need our help as well! We need to remain vigilant and keep the trash out of here!

It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Good luck to Jay Graber and the entire Bluesky team. Keep up the good work.

They need to hire me. To do something. I want this platform to succeed!

This basically tells us that Elon Musk has never respected Twitter numbers. It also shows that he has no understanding or respect as to why the Twiittersphere evolved into a powerhouse in the first place. Bluesky isn't perfect, but it offers hope for serious thinkers and contributors. X WILL NOT.

As soon as, or before, there is pressure to enshittify, we need to be able to give Blue Sky money to help reduce that pressure.

Love it. Keep the intellectually stunted out.

What protection against bots can she provide?

My respect goes out to any dev who recognises enshittification as the legitimate hazard to usability and platform longevity that it is. 🫡

I think that msn.com advertising it gratuitously can't hurt it's growth

Show me 4 of your necessary December watches #filmsky

Enshitification…that’s a new one for me but love the reference as we all know what that refers to😉👍🏼🤣🤣

You go girl!!

📌

Love it!

The growth has been great but it's still not where it needs to be.

Threads? Doesn’t hold a candle to bsky. The only reason that many people did is bc there’s threads lead-ins on FB and to finish reading it you have to sign up. I did and then removed the app right after. Lol! I suspect I’m not alone either. Bsky for the win!

Hmm no, sounds like you're talking to yourself.

Wonderful 💙🦋💙

I was going to say that the word has been around for a while but it seems the big article that put it on the radar is from last year (🫠) It’s a fantastic read!! www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

Watch the total BlueSky users grow in real-time 💙 🥳 blueskyusercount.com 👇👇

And I love this app! 💙🦋

I don't see Threats really as a competition. It's easy to sign up and easy to forget. You are automatically connected to people who follow you on Instagram, what means that all the OF girls who suddenly fell in love with you try to bother you there as well.

Enshittification. Bravo!!!

Optimistic but not hopeful. My other account (the work one) has picked up about 100 followers. 90 percent of them are promoting OnlyFans accounts or similar scams. Very little real interaction.

A safe haven for sanity 🙏

Yeah, don’t let it turn into something like the cesspool facebook and instagram.

You’re probably not wrong. :/

I'm not against BlueSky being held to high standards. I'm not sure I care if X isn't anymore. Let it rot.

It’s almost like buying something whose value is derived from reporting facts, only to spout your crapification of the truth, has consequences!

Yes. Which is a good reason to use Bluesky.

Omnishambles is a renowned Tuckerism. Sometimes it feels like the world is in an omnishambles. All the other Tuckerisms that come to mind may be considered impolite by some/many.

I think they really need to emphasize hosting your own PDS, especially because websites can simply run them from their own domains giving accounts inherent credibility bypassing the need for "blue checkmarks." Even if you don't trust the publisher, you know where the information is coming from.

Got to live entrepreneurs

Very simply we don’t want to support Musk.

One point this article missed is *the day after* the election many Twitter users lost 100s if not 1000s of followers- which clearly indicated something is just not right about that platform. This accelerated the exodus.

To me just finding old and new friends..

Stay the course, as from the 1800's...we are only the paradigm we believe in. We are solid.

I never joined twitter. However, given that this is supposed to be the anti-twitter way to engage with others, I thought I'd give it a try. I hope you all have a nice day.

I joined after a CTV News article about it never heard of it before. I know Jay Grabher but he is a guy in BC.

Except that this one isn't roiling with the vermin from Twitter. Sure, they tried chasing people here so they could harass them, but the block function on this site actually works, and the incel chuds are seething over it.

Enshittyfication 😅🙏

FINALLY you guys are here

Hot tip: free speech is choosing where to post. And who to mute or block.

It's a great platform.

Jay Graber is a good guy.

bluesky is growing =))

Thank you for the new word :) "Enshittification" This may be the first necessary new conceptual word to emerge in my lifetime. I shall use it

Definitely don't search NSFW. You'll see massive growth.

Jay is a BOSS.

New user here, nickname J. Love what you’ve done with the place. Keep the vision, @jay.bsky.team

She’s great! I hope she stays humble and keeps up the great work! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

I think she figured out that people really did just wanna talk to each other. Most of us just wanna figure stuff out and make life better for one another.

I am super late. Had no idea Jay was a woman but now that I know it makes perfect sense. This is so satisfying thinking of how much Leon must hate it.

the whole point is that's not really possible on Bluesky. The system allows for custom algorithms so if the basic one (Discover) becomes bad, it will just fell out of use to be replaced by another one. The reason Bluesky exists is to prevent what happened to Twitter and Threads.

It is like that.

Kamala would have been the right choice. I still don't understand what happened with the election. Go Bluesky! Thanks Jay 🙏
