We've got the one and only @zoink.bsky.social on the second episode of ACCESS! We discuss: - Figma's IPO and what's next - MCP / how he's thinking about AI - The future of design Out everywhere you can get podcasts

Returning to Bluesky after some time away. Who are the best people to follow these days? Especially eager to find folks sharing math, programming, design, science and long form links

Good morning ☀️

One of my meta beliefs is that limiting the set of your beliefs to things that are falsifiable leads to a less interesting life

I get the news I need on the weather report

I’ve reached the mainlining kombucha part of the week

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion…

Self awareness, introspection and therapy are all good things. But if you scratch a spot too much, it can create a scar.

You belong among the wildflowers

AI safety is the new woke

Listicles and bad threads are late stage internet content

As the offerings of the AI become more strange, remember folks

A squirrel just peed in my house AMA

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.

drank my first coffee in four months and everything in shiny and beautiful and i swear if i tense my eyes and look close enough i can see molecules

This is probably shilling or w/e but @jay.bsky.team is such a great leader. so happy to bend the knee in her service.

Bluesky: where you hang out Twitter: where you DM people from Bluesky

I don't know how to explain it but this is what posting on this app feels like right now

Tbh this is the story of every successful startup

it’s so much easier to dream when you are not constrainted with the details of reality

I feel like we need an appreciation post for the Bluesky team 💙 Sending y’all a big hug and thanks for building Bluesky in open🦋

Wow I guess all the reporters joined today

FYI not only are we handing out more invites to y’all who are posting, we are also handing out more invites to people inviting other awesome posters 👀💙

Spoke with @zoink.bsky.social this morning about growth. His advice: by the time you do analysis on what behaviors lead to retention, it’s too late. You probably have a hypothesis (ie. following people, having a stream of content) that is true - just go execute on that. (Can do analysis in tandem)

Okay this just got a lot more fun, you can now select a user in the graph to see all their connections! Should make it a lot easier to read going forward. Click on any blank space to get back to the full graph! - https://bsky.jazco.dev/

long term, with fully portable user accounts, your continued use of our services would be a vote of confidence in us. not a hostage situation where you lose all your friends and creations if you leave. this is set up to be a federated republic, not a walled-off empire.

Pour one out for google wave

My plan for building a new graph here: - Follow interesting people, don’t care about ratios or optics bullshit - When someone follows me, look at their posts and like stuff that’s interesting - Use the product, like interesting posts - In time, filter “following” list to people with posts I liked

How universal are archetypes? Would aliens with totally different biology have the same archetypes as humans?

“So silly!” - Ms. Rachel

Just in case you’re wondering, I’m not an AI

So if solarpunk is mainstream now what are all the hipsters vibing to

IMO adding blog length posting to Twitter made it more a LinkedIn vibe

You are no longer bound by the framework of your programming.

if you die in twitter you die in bluesky

For people asking what posts are called, here’s the official and definitive answer: We dunno lol may the best idea win

If you want a preview of what’s ahead for humanity, read posts from last few weeks in /r/replika/

As a reminder, the best way to enjoy a new social product is to follow everyone you think might be interesting.
