Does Bluesky have an algorithmic feed or doesn't it? Hard to tell by Googling.

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter stops publishing on X.
“Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, as it stands, we will not publish anything there from our official accounts”, says editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski.

I'll just use today's network issues with Bluesky as an excuse for not migrating to my own PDS 😂 That also gives me more time to play with other atproto based apps like blogging #atproto #bluesky #atprotodev #blog #bsky #pds #atprotoapp

I am on #Bluesky (but not the way you would think of)

Jack Dorsey hasn’t been involved in #Bluesky for over a year. The userbase chased him off so hard over his willingness to tolerate Nazis that he deleted his account and quit the board.

You can hate it, but facts are important

Considering the #proglibs #fascists nature of many mastodon.social users (and a couple of other common instances) from the last swarm of refugees from X, I'm sort of relieved by this news.

"#Bluesky adds 1 million users after US election as users ditch #X"

#FranceCulture : #FrançoisSaltiel annonce "faire une croix sur #X" (*) et appelle de ses voeux un mouvement d'ensemble des #média. Il mentionne au passage #Mastodon, mais papillone plutôt du côté de #bluesky.

(*) Sur la transciption actuellement cela se conclut par "j'y travaille", en direct il semble avoir évolué pour un passage à l'acte... Ça tergiverse...!

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack

We need more visual journalists over on Bluesky! So I made a starter pack.

If that's you and you have an account over there, let me know so that I can add you.

People rejoicing that Bluesky is feeling like early Twitter seem to be forgetting that Twitter also used to feel like early Twitter...

@Abdulla @moftasa @tarakiyee
and other #bloggers, #blog maintainer, and #webmasters in general will find this interesting:

It's possible to make your blog an independent agent in the #confediverse. Users of #Bluesky can follow it, and so can #Fediverse users via bridging.

== Edit: I initially misunderstood: Bluesky is not needed as an intermediate. It's directly web-to-fediverse.

I've bridged my account over to Bluesky. If you are on there, you can follow me at this user name (https://bsky.app/profile/kim-harding.mastodon.scot.ap.brid.gy). I prefer the non-algorithmic nature of Mastodon, and the lack of single-owner. But time will tell. With the bridge I can post on Mastodon to Bluesky. #Bluesky

Follow @bsky.brid.gy to bridge your own account so that I can follow you back.

Great piece on BlueSky and enshittification by @pluralistic. “I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will.”

#enshittification #bluesky

I am becoming exhausted with social media. The fighting about Meta, the lies and misinformation on #bluesky regarding #Mastodon and on Mastodon regarding bluesky. People are clearly the issue, it is not just Big Social

The thing about #Calckey is that it's developing incredibly fast in part because we realize all these recent feature announcements are urgent.

We want to build softare that's competitive not just with #Mastodon, but also #Twitter and #Bluesky.

This is why -- within the last week -- we launched post editing, numerous accessibility improvements, and other goodies.

And I personally migrated my account from mastodon.social to calckey.social.

But of course, there's bugs and slowdowns and errors. Lots of stuff that was just completely unpredictable happened.

I've personally been on the phone for hours on end trying to sort things out for the team.

Social media never sleeps.

danke bin versorgt.

aber holy shit, ist das onboarding smoothe. da wird mastodon echte probleme kriegen #bluesky

Good-faith #bluesky questions:

Can you run your own instance?

Are there currently multiple instances networked together?
