Watch out TikTok. There's never been a better time to find a new short-video platform, with TikTok going the way of state media following the Trump 'sovereign wealth fund' executive order.

Bluescreen @bluescreen.blue just dropped, a native Bluesky video app.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

It's criminal when devs launch microblogging services without tablet-optimized apps. One of the things I appreciated about Twitter pre-Elonia was support for third-party clients.

The folks over at Pilvia launched Graysky to fill that void (supports Android as well):
