I strongly suspect Twitter is throttling posts mentioning the word “BlueSky”. I recommend fooling the algorithm by avoiding that name & using a euphemism (“the 🟦 Place,” whatever).

I said BlueSky and got 0 response too. Switched it up, people have taken me up on it every time.

Test it yourself.

Please everyone check your codes and share them with people stuck in the bird world so we can make sure that we get a thriving community going here.

Note: The Vietnamese words in the original version of this essay used diacritical marks. To comply with New York Times style, the marks were removed before publication. Unfortunately, this practice alters the meaning of the words. In the case of Hỏa Lò Prison, for example, “hỏa” means “fire,” and “lò” means “furnace”: the Burning Furnace Prison. Without the marks, “hoa” means “flowers,” and “lo” means “worry,” rendering the term “Hoa Lo” meaningless. I look forward to the day when The Times and other Western publications celebrate the richness and complexity of Vietnamese, and of all other languages, by showcasing them in their original formats.

This is already an extraordinary piece on the literature of Việt Nam in the New York Times, but this note especially blew me away—what a powerful argument against house style when it comes to foreign languages:

This photo of baseball in Bhutan is the coolest sports photo I’ve ever seen? How is this so much cooler than anything else?

I'm hoping that my bluesky will be a bit more of my professional science side of things than my totally unhinged twitter that I've had since 2012

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

I am v haunted by the news that bsky’s contract with a company means that company can use any images as training sets. I know this is a concern for artists but we should all be concerned particularly about things like selfies & lewds.
