Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

if @bsky.app introduced a "Zen Mode" — what do you think it would be? what problem would you want it to solve?

Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.

my exact rationale

alex benzer @internet.bsky.social · 8d

we're hiring a Product Engineer at @bsky.app!

social is changing quickly — our team is defining what comes next.

good to see you here, Kelani. we miss TRANSFER in LA

we're thinking about this in a similar way and also looking at feeds as scaffolding for communities — hope to share more on this soon as things develop

shoutout to @rafael.my for the idea

alex benzer @internet.bsky.social · 29d

not inspired by Shadowsky. just something people have been clamoring for here for a long time, and we listened. feels like a basic necessity.
