bluesky needs to get some product sense and a fire in their belly or this whole experiment is doomed

Oh yeah he was fucking terrible

I don’t follow destiny as closely these days bc he can be controversial (in not good ways) but his statement on Kirk was the best I saw:

2 recent pod eps I listened to were talking ab stuff like this with Jill Lepore

For someone quasi technical like me, can you elaborate on the shared infrastructure bit? Specifically what are we talking about?

Boom!

I can never reflexive trust posts like this if they don’t link to source

And tbh no one should

Probably is true just…

This guy?

I don’t follow him as closely these days, but his controversies aside, he was, imo, one of the better communicators on the left

His Kirk statement was also pretty funny

At least a solid 1/3 of America

Does seem bad. the one post that stood out to me was this one. Saying America ‘worships white children being massacred by gun violence’ is IMO a hyperbolic miscategorization

They worship guns, not gun violence or the murder of children

It’s skin is an armor of scars earned from all the kraken fights endured over its lifetime

Ohhh, when did bsky launch what twitter used to (confusingly) call on-device notifs?

Always happy to see the feature parity gap being closed!

I really don’t think stuff like this should be the priority. Who cares ab your google rank — you haven’t set your product vision / mission / strategy / roadmap. Your product itself has huge problems and features gaps. Making the product better is the best possible marketing

Ah yeah manual blocks vs list blocks

I think Michael Hobbes blocked me ?I like his podcast and followed him). to find out I tried to use clear sky, which is when I found out I’ve been blocked by 73,000 ppl on bluesky via lists, mainly, apparently, for being transphobic, which I am absolutely not

You know what they’ve literally done in 10 years? Expand a hard cap of 5 tracks to 10

I’m really skeptical of starter packs. Good follows are almost always carefully pointed laser shots, not shotgun spread. They require a deal of context and trust, or directly referred trust

I’d love card embeds for audio URLs (like old twitter had for cards) so we can post things like podcasts and have them deep link to pod apps e.g.
