We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

it's weird to see such hubris live

Got a demo of this today, super cool stuff Reminded me of this www.datacouncil.ai/talks/proces...

I always remind people that valuable research isn't easy to identify up front. Research into lizard spit is what gave us GLP-1 inhibitors like Ozempic. We need to fund broad research interests because it's cheap upfront and the dividends are huge later.

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky. So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction. (They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

It’s so nice seeing the same faces here… you know without the hellscape part
