I haven’t heard too much about this, but having just binged Silicon Valley this has a Pied Piper vibe to it. I hope they can succeed and that success means building their original vision and not just conforming to the same toxic approach that all social apps follow.

Social media has become so walled-off and algorithm-driven; it’s refreshing to hear about initiatives like Bluesky aiming to bring back openness and user empowerment. Excited to see how this evolves!

The customizability of the feed and moderation are definitely next level with Bluesky, give out programmer vibes for sure. I hope the general population finds the protocol useful so those that like to tinker can take advantage of these tools. I have no idea how the protocol can be monetized in the future though. There’s a reason IMAP, POP3, DNS are not owned by a corporation

This is so refreshing, I do think Jay and her team are really onto something. Platforms are just conduits; the true value of social is in the users, creators and communities. Once you set that free, it won’t go back in a box. I especially like her comment about aligning their motivations with the user. And there’s no reason IMO that cannot benefit shareholders at the same time.

My favorite thing about Bluesky is how easy it is to remove things from my feed and adjust the algorithm to only show me things Im interested in. Its a place I go to avoid the drama if American politics, which is infuriating to be bombarded with when youre not American.
