I waited tables in a couple of restaurants and I can say with confidence that from now on the Supreme Court justices who eviscerated abortion rights, gay rights and student debt relief should probably not think too hard about how their meals were handled on the way to their table.

Bluesky is an experiment in what happens if instead of a company making editorial decisions about algorithms & content moderation, users could choose their own adventure.

The problem is users have expectations and explaining they’re lab rats in an experiment is an unsatisfactory answer.
I think what’s challenging with the Bluesky team is that dev, dev rel, community relations, product ownership roles are all held in the same handful of people. And they thought they were building a federation platform when what they’re being asked for are site features.

I declare everything in the world around me to be tremendously old-fashioned. I am dismissed in my time, but heralded as a visionary after my death.

Wondering why Bluesky is overrun with sexy Alf?

It’s my fault - and I wrote about how Fuck Alf, and all of you on this cursed social network, have restored my love for posting.

Yeah, it was me. And I haven't had this much fun on the Internet in years.

I once wrote a paper about protocols instead of platforms, which @jack.bsky.social read, and thought was a good idea, and hired @jay.bsky.team to do something about, and she and her team built this site. And, I still don't quite understand what happened or how it's real.
Tell us a true story from your life that sounds made up.

Bluesky gets real dead at night. Well, that makes sense. That's just as advertised.

“what’s hot” is the stupidest possible algorithm ( >8 likes on any text post), so it’s reflecting whoever is active and upvoting each other at the moment. varies wildly depending on what slice of time you come in at.
