Getting real close to a billion posts

Bluesky is fast approaching both 30M users and 1B posts bsky.jazco.dev/stats

"Why did you come to this time? To warn us?" The time traveler laughed. "Why would anyone listen to me?" "You're from our future-" "No, I'm from a different timeline, a different future. I'm a refugee." "To here? Now?" "It looks fucked right now, but this is the timeline that pulls through."

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Added alt text because lol (horrified)

IS MARVEL SNAP BACK ONLINE IN THE US??

In 2024, Bluesky grew from 2.9M to 25.9M users. With this growth came anticipated challenges in scaling Trust & Safety, from adding workstreams to adapting to new harms. In our newly published 2024 Moderation Report, we share details on what the year looked like for our Trust & Safety team.

Rest in Peace, David Lynch

‪This is Kokoro. She thought she was the roundest pup in all the land until she met this other dog today. Shocked and confused. Still 14/10

The Lives of Others but it’s a Chinese spymaster and a TikTok influencer.

i used to be so excited to update to the new version of my phone's or laptop's operating system, but now i'm mostly annoyed by the update and not excited for new features - have the updates changed, or have i?

It's natural to feel frustrated and tired and sick of all of the fucking effort to try to change the system, we just want to get our work done, focus on fun tech problems, make some money and go home to our families. We ALL feel that way, you are not special! Toughen up, guys.

In contrast to cynical takes about how of course companies don't care about DEI etc, Dan presents the argument that actually caring about employees and creating fun environments is part of what winning looks like. Every leader should remind themselves of this.

Check out the Netflix Squid Game feed! Really cool to see these starting to be built for shows

this is big

I uh...I don't think Donner Lake, CA is named after the reindeer...

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

This is Jazz. She was looking at you. Then you looked at her so she looked away. Wants you to stop looking at her so she can keep looking at you. 12/10

little earthquake? I didn’t feel it but the light fixture is swaying

none of the sci-fi i've ever read expected this technology to come before constant, immersive virtual reality — this meaningfully shifts how we might imagine the future of virtual or augmented reality deepmind.google/discover/blo...

Just realized I could add accounts to lists without also following them. Great for my breaking news list. I can include everything and not have some of the accounts I was unsure about filling up my primary feed !

Few people even know about this; when people are asked in surveys how child mortality has changed the majority says it has stagnated or increased. If you consider that many don't know about humanity's biggest achievement, then it's not surprising that many are so pessimistic about our future.

Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product

my body is ready

Note for the upcoming holiday season,,, some of us are on a sobriety journey and mocktails or non-alcoholic beer options make a big difference 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

I keep seeing people who have "NO DMs!" in their bio. You all know that you can just set it so no one can DM you, right? Settings-->Chat Settings

This is Lil Hobbs. He’s just waking up. Thought everyone would enjoy seeing his routine. Big stretch included. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

This is Lily. She's been accused of drinking her mom's slushie. Will not be taking any questions at this time. 14/10
