Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

👏👏👏👏👏

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office

Stashdragon @stashdragon.bsky.social · Nov 27

From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Teddy dropped his toy and looked at it like this until I got it for him.

He’s so cute but rather useless. Ted is also a himbo…looks good but nothing upstairs.

I imagine the Venn diagram of transphobes and people who accidentally got the hots for one is a solid circle.

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

I really enjoyed the show!

I just finished "A Man On The Inside" with Ted Danson, and it's a lovely, endearing show, and I definitely needed that.

An unnerving problem to have, but a good one.

Bluesky is growing so fast it's racing to get hold of more servers, its COO says

Bluesky's explosive growth to 21 million users has pushed the company's 20-person team into "firefighting mode," says COO Rose Wang.

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible.

This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Threads is an echo chamber on the left, Twitter on the Right, I hope this stays a sane normal place where some disagreement can be politely explored. Too much to ask??

This is a little detail I always notice.

I also see purses, and suitcases empty as well.

My superpower is I can tell whenever the coffee cups in a tv show are empty. Law & Order hasn’t seen a wet cup in 30 years.
