Virtual worlds full of NPC AI bots because patching in thousands of humans wouldn’t work logistically, in a video game: Sure, fine.

Trapping us in algorithm boxes to force feed us AI content when there are literally millions of real users trying to connect with us, on Social Media: No, thanks, bud.

Meta, Facebook, Threads, and Instagram just flat out don’t respect us.

Idk how many times I’ve had to go back into the app to remind them that I don’t want their “for you” notifications.

If it’s not direct contact from moots, I don’t want it.

WTF?

Don’t fake it.
Just make it.

The funny thing about power is that it doesn’t even exist.

Most “power” is simply a con artist convincing people that they’ve already lost it, so it’s given up without a fight, or lying to themselves about its magnitude and hoping others will believe it.

Power has been out for half an hour in #Menifee.

I’m already thinking about living off the grid, growing my own veg, and raising sheep for wool.

The thing “finance bros” won’t tell you is that, we can’t all be rich at the same time.

Money is a limited resource. Whoever has the most is considered rich.

The richer you get, the more poor someone else is.

Use AI to create content, so you don’t have to!

Use AI to create email responses, so you don’t have to!

Use AI to run your business, so you don’t have to!

Use AI to spend your money, so you don’t have to!

Use AI to live your life, so you don’t have to!

In fact, we don’t even need you anymore!

One feature that might be nice is the ability to choose, for users managing multiple accounts, which account to share to when using an external share feature, such as from apps or the web.

Currently, if I’m logged into the wrong account, I must abandon the post on iPhone.

What's happened to X proves the need for Bluesky. The future company is a possible adversary. We make decisions knowing that we won't always be here or won't always be able to control the company's decisions. It's why we've given you the freedom of exit to go elsewhere w your followers and data.
one of bluesky’s mottos is “the company is a future adversary,” so we have to design this service in a way that preserves user choice & freedom

users should own their data, identity, and relationships on the social internet, and devs should never get locked out of the ecosystems that they build

💡 Tip: You can set your website as your username on Bluesky!

This is one form of self-verification, and we especially encourage official organizations and brands to do this! Examples include @npr.org @react.dev @duolingobrasil.com.br.

Here's our guide for how to do this:

This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing scenario.

I’m as frustrated as anyone about the other apps but, this “brand loyalty” thing has been the larger overall issue.

These aren’t rival gangs. Wasn’t divisiveness part of the problem?

Keep your connections.
