Pro-tip... don't sell. Even when he offers $1B.

This will be short-lived, unfortunately.

The sad reality is there is not 1-3 Billion nice people in the world who monitor online social networks.

It turns out the medium attracts the worst offenders, by it's very nature.
My favorite thing about bluesky is we can disagree about stuff like Garland, but no one is a huge asshole about it. Everyone is super-nice and people make genuine points and ask legit questions. Thanks for that!!

What is the point of Arc syncing tabs across devices, if it can't sync profiles, passwords, etc?

Thank you for all the broken tabs, you useless browser.

Not true—no data ever showed Twitter’s character limit had any impact on literacy.

We analyzed this deeply in 2015. Despite having a 1k limit, the average Facebook post was far shorter than 140 chars :)

The limit increase was for use-case expansion, not fixing something broken most users.
Let's talk about the Blueskye's 300 character limit - it continues to make us dumber. It can be argued that Twitter's 280-character limit (initially 140 characters) had negative impact on literacy.

Reading multiple threads on Twitter always sucked..

How TF one can post a thread here?

Starter Packs are such a simple, intuitive, obvious feature to welcome new folks to the platform. Utterly brilliant.

Kicking myself that we didn’t launch them at Twitter!

Perfect example that great design is only obvious in retrospect…

I’m feeling it too. This has a vibe (and an actually decent algorithm) that Threads lacks.
For the first time in a long time, I think that Bluesky could have the juice

It’s impressively easy to set up your own domain name here… very cool.

Pre-2016 my Twitter feed was 100% tech, with the macOS/iOS indie dev community a particularly strong voice.

It was joyful, it was creative, it was productive, it was educational.

Let’s go.
