Not sure what to make of the "Meth Unabomber" (a.k.a., Jack Dorsey) leaving Bluesky board, encouraging folks to remain on X, and endorsing Nostr. Is every rich a*hole just losing their sh*t in different ways?

Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter
The real new Twitter, Jack Dorsey argues, should be something called Nostr.

What is up with Bluesky? Opened it today to find random crap on my home page, mostly in German, with none of the posts from the few people I follow. That is not useful to me.

It is helping remind me why I am in this profession. I get immense joy reading these kinds of books, as it brings back the excitement/energy around tech. Highly recommended.

Final Day 1 thought: Unless I am mistaken, Bluesky is much like Twitter/X is now: you can no longer access content unless you have an account and are logged in. So these are really no longer an open microblogging platform at all but simply another chat/collab type app. Not sure how I feel abt that.

First day's testing results of Bluesky: It is clearly early days.
I am curious to see how things develop, however, especially around the AT Protocol and how federation works in the future. I do believe the future lies not in centralized "Big Tech" services but rather more distributed offerings.

Now what about links?

Oh now that's interesting. It pops up a rounded box saying "Add link card: ..." with the URL there. If I click it, it shows a preview of sorts.

But I do like Bluesky's character counter/wheel showing when you're out of characters in a post, though.

Bluesky has rudimentary image support.
In web version, can only open file selector. No drag/drop of any kind.
Phone has usual image picker from library or using camera.
Ironically, you can do basic image resize once selected. But that's it.

- No emoji support? Seriously?
- And absolutely no formatting? Let's try some **MarkDown** and see what happens. I am guessing it will _fail_ miserably. Editing window definitely does not appear to support anything (like hitting Cmd-B to insert bolding of any kind).

Bluesky thread/reply support is meh. Giving up on that for now. Moving on to other bits. Will just do straight up posts for each observation for now. Again, apologies for the noise as I beat on this a bit.

Bluesky observations thread.
This will be a tad stream of (un)consciousness, as I just tinker with Bluesky posting to see how things work/don't work. It is in no particular order.

First post!
Ok ok, enough silliness. I am going to try something different here. Anyone who knows me knows I have reservations about the narcissistic aspects of social media in general. But I want to give Bluesky an honest fair shake. So I have to do more than just lurk. So here goes.
