A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Seeing some of the new arrivals posting about Bluesky being boring.
I hate to break it to you, but if you find Bluesky boring, that's 100% your fault, because the only person working behind the scenes here to make it not boring is… you.
Here's some of the “work” that I've done and recommend… 🧵
