Presenting an exploration of Bluesky's network. Going to go over the community structure, evolution of the network, top accounts, etc.
First, here is the high-level community structure with some labels. Hi res w/ zoom here: https://www.easyzoom.com/imageaccess/884cb1c001cd48e79aca92232bd24a04
*banging a large gong* let the first discourse commence

We had a super weird sky in Reno the other day. I think it was due to a high thin layer of clouds, so the sky was white, and then dark clouds on a white background. The photo only partly captures it:

Must… resist… urge… to armor… the tail…
13.04.2023 06:28 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I literally just followed whichever tpot names I recognized, even if I don’t follow them on Twitter 😂
13.04.2023 04:48 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Never go full Descartes
13.04.2023 01:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0For some reason I now think the single most important thing Bluesky needs to work on is muting threads 🤔
11.04.2023 23:25 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I deeply regret posting on the number thread 😔
11.04.2023 23:24 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0I really shouldn’t have done that :(

11.04.2023 04:56 — 👍 10 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It’s quite underrated. I got my first exposure to coding that way too
Also I graduated HS early and worked construction for a year before college, VERY underrated for future white collar workers to be able to look at a new physical object that exists because of you
Oddly I met a lot of my formative teenage friends in the StarCraft modding community

10.04.2023 23:38 — 👍 14 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Crazy to think tpot was in the first ~10k users of the platform
10.04.2023 23:34 — 👍 42 🔁 0 💬 5 📌 0Okay but seriously the vast majority of poasting is meta-level stuff about Bluesky, we need to populate it with actual object-level content to be a real platform
10.04.2023 23:30 — 👍 11 🔁 1 💬 6 📌 0Alright I’m out of stuff to do on Bluesky, going back to Twitter now 👋🏻
10.04.2023 23:23 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It was *really* great for a while, honestly. Scale hurt, it turned into a live podcasting service (which… isn’t exactly a bad idea either, but it didn’t feel like the spirit of the thing)
10.04.2023 06:25 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Haha your kid seems awesome!
10.04.2023 06:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0*blaring bagpipes*
10.04.2023 02:52 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It’s weirdly concentrated *just* in our specific social circle
10.04.2023 02:26 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It algorithmically chooses to include new people but the posts are still chronological
10.04.2023 02:17 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Omg thank you I just started looking because of this post
10.04.2023 02:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0But honestly I don’t see what I’d do differently on Bluesky, which might kill it in the long run :-/
10.04.2023 02:15 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Facebook for me is very clearly “this is a personal site for personal friends, and I know with decently high probability they’ll see and appreciate it”
Twitter I do have that existential question sometimes, but mostly I use it to gather info, and then post informative mega threads sometimes…
This feels a little like Clubhouse before Eternal September, except it’s all tpot instead of VC Twitter
10.04.2023 02:13 — 👍 35 🔁 1 💬 3 📌 0Wait so is the only feed a purely chronological one?
Am I the only person who appreciates algorithmic feeds?
You just dated yourself 😂
10.04.2023 02:10 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yeah I’ve decided to just follow almost anyone I recognize from tpot and see where it goes
10.04.2023 02:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Did literally all of tpot make the migration? It’s just like Twitter in here…
