Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

Protocol vintage: clothes from the past Threads: centralized speech control from the past

Bluesky just hit 45 million users.

In California, "off-duty cannabis use" is a protected characteristic and if discriminated against is considered workplace harassment, while off-duty alcohol consumption is not listed as a protected characteristic. Maybe this is why they only serve sparkling water at SF parties.

What's up, chat! Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update. This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

People keep telling me the best thing about me is that I’m a normal person. This feels like a neg..

I've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:

"Wang’s business is keen to rebuild the relationship between content creator and the person viewing the content, as well as communities, fandoms and other small groups that social media has, historically, united." Yes I am! Thanks @lilyford.bsky.social www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

@rose.bsky.team on stage at SXSW London. Big plugs for community spaces and building apps on the Atmosphere ecosystem.

Speaking with @amitkatwala.bsky.social about Bluesky at #SXSWLondon at Truman Brewery at 2:20pm today. We’ll be talking about Attie and communities. Come through!

If you tell your publisher or agent that people are getting excited about your book on Bluesky you feel a bit like a kid reporting to his parents that he won at Scrabble & now plans to turn pro at Scrabble. But this is where I'm finding my readers. And I mean READERS. bsky.app/profile/love...

@attie.ai just told me that the 🐦 #birding community has the warmest replies-per-post ratio of the communities it sampled

Reese Witherspoon posted an Instagram story yesterday listing the AI influencers she’s learning from and there was clear pushback. She then asked her users if they knew that IG uses AI and people were shocked. They had no idea…

We tried to tip a waiter in Italy tonight, and he refused to take it. We are not in America anymore, Dorothy.

Electricity is cool and all but can we bring back biphasic sleep? I’m wired for two sleeps and some light refreshments in between

Yeah the fact I could log into blacksky's app with eurosky data while bluesky was down means that old criticism of ATPro is definitely for the bin.

#ijf26 journalists, why do you think more journalists aren't on Bluesky?

Felix, CEO of Mastodon, and I hope to collaborate more. Mastodon has wide adoption in Europe and 8k communities (servers) running independently. The customization they give communities is inspiring to me. Public squares should be a gathering place for you to discover cozier corners/communities.

tfw when youre in the mood for reginos but its forbidden

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Looking to interview journalists at #ijf26 about what we can build for you. Please comment below or dm me if you're open to chatting 🙏 I'm here till Sunday and this is what I look like. Please come say hi if you see me milling about this beautiful town

We are experiencing service interruptions. Our team is on it

The journalists who can’t be bought are the spine of democracy. Inspired by @marisakabas.bsky.social @tarapalmeri.bsky.social @eltragon.bsky.social who face lawsuits and intimidation efforts daily to continue their investigative work. We are building for you #ijf26

Been thinking about this all day. What if @sill.social was Stumbleupon, guided by your network instead of randomness? Is this anything?

My travel tell is I post. Otherwise I’m in Google Meets (we still don’t pay for Zoom!)

Come hangout with me at the International Journalism Festival! I’m going to be on a panel w Felix, the CEO of Mastodon, Thursday at 3pm. I’m also hosting drinks Thursday evening at 7pm at Priori Secret Garden. Looking to chat w journalists about distribution, monetization, and audience ownership

We're working on improving the search experience. Are there any specific improvements you would like to see? 🔍 👀

Majority of links are behind paywalls which I get; subscriptions in media are everywhere bc platforms killed distribution. How much traffic data actually translates to reading the article? I open links all the time and then close them bc of the paywall. We are reviving discovery but who’s reading?

i did my taxes on time this year and enrolled for health benefits with more than 24hrs to spare. i'm amazed my life works outside of work

Loved talking shop with @semaforben.bsky.social and @maxtani.bsky.social! Surreal to finally meet two people whose voices I’ve logged so many hours with.

we’ve invented a new type of Posting that is too powerful. we’re working with industry partners to roll it out safely

Open web! Open feeds! Surf has made it easy for anyone to build a feed with content sources from all over the web. So cool

"If personalization can be described in plain language and built on open infrastructure, then recommendation logic is much more understandable and controllable. That doesn't automatically solve [lockin], but it does challenge the idea that personalization has to belong to the platform alone"

Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
