Oh it’s not that - I’d love to just like fork Mastodon and build a new site on that, but the open-source license is so restrictive we’d end up open-sourcing our ad stack code. Bsky is better but in many ways it was just faster and easier to build our own thing while atproto matures

We haven't gotten that far mostly because our own identity project for disparate subscriptions, mailing lists, comments, etc is still being unified but once that's done I think we can find a way to let people connect through? It's fun to think through at least

nilay patel @reckless.bsky.social · 2d

it's our own and we will relay to both in the end. the licenses for mastodon and even bsky were too restrictive for a big commercial publisher with a complex tech stack, which i suspect is holding back adoption generally

hm we've only had them less than a year and it hasn't come up? we obviously moderate comments but i do feel like "kicked but you can keep paying us" is fine

ooh that's fun -- we are eventually going to shift quickposts and comments to the new social platform that runs the Feed on sb nation sites and we'll make that interop w bsky and mastodon so lots of ideas there

I've been an exec in corporate TV for 30+ years. This is a harsh, but accurate take on the challenges facing Bari Weiss by @lopatto.bsky.social.

Leading a large team, creatives, and navigating the corpo world without years of experience is exceedingly difficult.

Senator Cruz Figure Out Who Was President From 2018 To 2020 Challenge; Impossible

I have a simple question for Senator Ted Cruz: Who was president in 2018? How about 2020? I ask because Cruz just released a “bombshell” report claiming that the Biden administration "converted" CISA into "the Thought Police." There's just one tiny problem with this narrative: Cruz's own report shows that everything he's mad about started under Donald Trump, under whose leadership CISA was created.

Today I'm on the ground at OpenAI's annual event, DevDay.

The vibes are as follows:

-Keynote by Sam Altman
-Media Q&A with execs like Greg Brockman & Brad Lightcap
-Developer state of the union
-Fireside chat between Altman and famed former Apple designer Jony Ive
