Feeds are one of my favorite features of Bluesky and part of how we're approaching social media differently. This week @graze.social partnered with @wnyc.org and @gothamist.com to create an election feed that stayed on top of the news.

Sharp post from Alex about how we’re building an open protocol *and* creating apps and tools on top of that. All at once!

FTR the app-view is up and has been for a few weeks. Ingesting terabytes of social media data is not trivial. I've worked to re-implement some experimental work by Divy into rsky-ingester, rsky-backfiller, and rsky-indexer When it's production ready, it'll move off of staging.blacksky.community

I'm so excited to be headed to Vancouver for ATmosphere Conf in March. If you're going to be there, or just following along, fill out the call for interest form

great thread of our IETF BoF session today huge thanks to everyone that participated in person & remote for more info on what a "BoF" is & what are plans at the IETF are check out: docs.bsky.app/blog/taking-...

This pretty much sums up why I’m excited to be working at Bluesky. I’m under no illusion that we’ve solved the fundamental problems of social media, I do think we’ve got a unique opportunity to connect people in better ways.

Kind of cool that on a day that the site is celebrating democracy, the AT protocol community is at IETF helping to form shared governance for the specs!

Bit of a whirlwind news day yesterday, mostly dominated by the U.S. elections. This custom feed for the NYC mayoral race built using @graze.social showcases how to filter and focus during a live event. www.graze.social/feeds/10427
