tbh I'm concerned about the long-term viability of bluesky. running a platform at this scale just doesn't seem sustainable without ads.

I really like the butterfly logo they decided on, it looks great and is decently recognizable!

Twitter continuously comes up with new ways for me to want to use Twitter less.
removing headlines from news articles is the funniest thing elon has done so far. crafting an experience where the user is perpetually scrolling through 25 consecutive uncontextualized pictures of donald trump and timothee chalamet and then reading something vaguely antisemitic
