What will be the moat going forward? Looks like only distribution (audience) will provide a competitive advantage?

📚 Just in time for the holidays! My end-of-year reading haul has arrived :) @arvidkahl.bsky.social

What's on your December reading list? Share your picks below! 👇

Agree. I had the same thought yesterday.

Currently there's less posts that compete for your attention due to lower user numbers.

When the user base increases posts will increase as well and this will result in more posts competing for your _limited_ attention.

We are the bottle neck.
Epic video, well done.

One thing that might effect the higher engagement on Blue Sky is the less saturated timeline compared to X.

Let's hope it stays that way!

Always keep in mind that all your posts can and will be used by all kinds of actors for all kinds of purposes.

AI/ML is one use case, and that's also one of the reasons why X put their API behind an expensive paywall.

Bsky is a public network/protocol and offers a free API.
Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
First dataset for the new @huggingface.bsky.social @bsky.app community organisation: one-million-bluesky-posts 🦋

📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗

Here's a nice little tool for bsky: clearsky.app

It helps you see:
- Who you've blocked
- Who blocked you
- What starter packs you're part of
- All posts of all accounts (even those that blocked you)

I decided to offer the limited lifetime deal also as part of Black Friday.

Deciding on a price was not easy because I lack enough long-term data like customer lifetime value (LTV).

So I just went with my gut feeling. It's limited to 10 spots anyway. Don't overthink it.

In coding we aim to handle errors "gracefully", and I think it's a good metaphor for life

I'm thinking about simplifying my subscription plans and adding a fixed-price package for erfindergeist.io.

Currently there are 3 weekly plans based on hours:
- Small (10h)
- Medium (20h)
- Large (40h)

Realistically the Medium plan makes most sense (for me).
Erfindergeist.io - Software development as a Service for web app MVPs, tools, and automations
Your go-to software development subscription, dedicated to turning visionary concepts into beautiful, effective digital products.

Great overview of atproto, the protocol powering @bsky.app by @samuel.bsky.team
ok, let's break it down.

at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it

data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

My start with bsky was so beautiful.

So I'll try to keep it clean and filter out the content I don't want to see, as good as I can.

Hello blue sky 🦋!

I'm really liking the network so far, especially the custom feeds are a breath of fresh air.
