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

photos are about to get a big upgrade with @thepope.dev's snazzy new carousel

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.

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.

Mercury is in retrograde because of AI

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.

It's happening! It's here! Let's go ATProto! #Atmosphereconf

@atmosphereconf.org 2027 in Mexico?? 🙏☀️🍹

Take Sarah up on this! She has done a wonderful job covering the protocol and ecosystem

The Atmosphere is a new open network. The features: - Your account works on all atmosphere apps - You can switch to a new provider with no fuss - Easy to make your own apps on it - Works great with personal websites And, Bluesky is an atmosphere app.

in this release is a "download image" button in the top left corner of the image viewer on web. this lets you download as JPEG in high quality. webp haters rejoice!

I raised a Series B last year for Bluesky to build the open social web. I want to thank our investors who share our vision, our users who light up the network (2.4B posts and counting), and the developers bringing the Atmosphere to life. Can’t wait to show you all what comes next!

I wrote about why @knightfoundation.org invested in @bsky.app: philanthropy can act when mission & opportunity align. We believe in @jay.bsky.team's vision for a better social web—& in ideas (like @masnick.com's) that grow out of the research ecosystem Knight has long supported. kf.org/kfbluesky

Last April, we raised $100M in Series B funding. This round gives us the ability to scale our team to meet the rapid growth of Bluesky and the AT Protocol. Read more: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

v1.119 is live! Bot labels are here. If you run an automated account, you can now mark it as such in your account settings. The label will show up on your profile and posts so people know what's a bot and what's not.

Toni is a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful exec, who has shown that you can build a real business around open software. Finding someone who can execute and who understands the vision of an open protocol at the same time is rare—Toni gets it. I'm excited to see what Toni and Jay build together.

So excited to welcome Toni to the Bluesky team! Toni has been an advisor to me and Jay for years, and we're thrilled he has answered our call to lead us in the interim.

It's been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as Jay's COO. She is a rare human who sees a more hopeful future and leads with integrity, grace, and wisdom. I can't wait to see how she continues to change the world as Bluesky's CIO.

Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app. I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.

Congrats to the team @tangled.org!

My dear friend's daughter Hope, age 9, is selling girl scout cookies and you can buy online without knowing a girl scout. Support her troop and the good parts of the internet: digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/hope80...
