i don’t want to just be the nicer alternative to elon — i want this to be a paradigm shift where i was influential in kicking it off, but overall it is about the town square of public social becoming more self-organizing and open to innovation

Please spread the word about this bot to folks who use screen readers and/or rely on alt text for understanding images of text. Please do not use the bot when it isn't needed. It isn't expensive to maintain the service, but it does cost money. You can report issues to @holden.bsky.social. Thank you!

Nobody has a right to access an invite-only closed beta, and if they are creating an account exclusively to jump in and harass people in replies they will be removed.

I have never seen anything quite like the comms from @jay.bsky.team as she and the Bluesky team build the thing in real time (and, inevitably, run into all the rough edges of running a new network). It’s remarkable, builds trust in the service, and reminds me of the magic of very early Twitter.

You needed blocks. We cleared our calendars to finish building out blocks.
Blocking has shipped to Bluesky web app users and will be available in mobile shortly (version 1.25, when it passes App/Play Store review — hopefully tomorrow morning).
You can access this feature now at staging.bsky.app.
