Seems like there’s a lot of lurking on Bluesky but less posting. Or I just need to really tune my feed.
Upgrading my iPhone right now and Blue Sky reloaded quickly to my new phone, but the other app did not! Maybe it’s a sign.
I am checking Bluesky out again, haven’t posted here in over a year but sounds like folks have migrated over in droves!
I feel like my generation experienced Peak Internet and we’re now on a downward trend.
Google Search sucks. You can’t trust Amazon ratings. Twitter & Reddit are at war with their users. Every useful news site is paywalled and every garbage one is free.
Turns out 2010s were the good old days.
Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue.

Bluesky might need to launch rate limiting to rate limit all the Twitter users coming here to escape rate limiting.
Rate limits are annoying. Especially in something you pay for.
I pay for ChatGPT Plus and regularly hit the rate limit there too.
Happy Father’s day to all the fellow dads out there and especially to those whose dads are longer with us!❤️
I am actively denying them a follow on your behalf. Hopefully democracy won’t die in darkness as a result.
I’m thinking about picking up a $3500 snorkeling mask that was announced today. Should I do it?
Started the fast.ai course on Deep Learning and now I understand why everyone bought up all the GPUs and why Nvidia stock is killing it.
So many of these long shot Republican primary candidates are giving me Connor Roy vibes. It’s gonna be a wild primary season.
I interviewed several engineering candidates from Zume a few years ago. None of them could explain anything they actually shipped.
After that experience, I became extremely skeptical of any tech company with tons of Softbank money behind it.
Or they're not bumping build versions at all.
Same build on staging. I knew it. Staging is a lie.
People are mad if their main issue was sidelined by Biden. I heard this from a friend who claimed Biden didn't do enough to protect abortion rights and should have used an executive order to protect them.
I said "the other side will happily take away the rights you still have even in Blue States".
Agree. I think of all the Heads of State, he probably has the most legitimate reason for getting the message out there for the Ukrainian people without having to be filtered through news media.
So I stopped using the staging site and using the real one. Is there any real difference? Am I not on the latest code?
Zelenskyy?
We just published an update on our private beta and our roadmap — read here:

Any good custom feeds you have found? Are they shareable yet?
Haven’t really been posting or using Bsky heavily due to a social media break. Is this feeds thing new? Any new features I should be aware of?
Reminder: You are no longer on Twitter and there’s no need to subject your followers to updates on Elon Musk’s latest racist shenanigans.
If people wanted to stay up to date on those, we’d have stayed on Twitter.
And now there's about to be a ton of PRs to this file by clout chasers. Lock that down quickly @pfrazee.com !

I’m here. The positive corner of the internet is taking over Bluesky.
what a wonderful hell these people built for themselves
Monday morning vibes.

I feel like they should hand this to people who move to Austin as part of their welcome package.
