Now that X and Meta compete on free speech maximalism, Bluesky has the opportunity to go extreme free speech and win!

What’s something you can say on BlueSky but can’t say on X?

Don't try to fit in, be true to yourself. Be in the world, but not of it.

we need custom algorithms. and with algorithms i mean: hide all accounts newer than 20 days.

also benefits really only unlock at scale. but i think we could build this on top of bsky potentially.

We spent 2 years working on algorithms and then ran out of money before our app gained any traction. Also timing. 2016-2019 wasn't the best time to work on this kind of social media.

The assumption that people are rationally self-interested doesn't hold up in practice. There are both people who are incompetently or maliciously acting against their self-interest. Any system that aligns incentives only based on rational self-interest has to fail in the presence of chaos monkeys.

Our algorithms were explicitly designed to re-organize the graph based on behavior. Think of humans as neurons and edges as synapses. You are trying to reweigh edge-weights and add/remove new edges. If you see content early, you're a tastmaker for your subgraph and can amplify/attenuate.

When I worked on social graph reorganization algorithms 2016-2019 we called them semi-permeable echo-chambers. The semi-permeable can lead to rapid graph reorganization if content crosses cluster boundaries.
