Pretty incredible how Bluesky does two things no other major social network does:
1. Show content from people you follow
2. Don’t deprioritize posts with links
The “incredible” part is how ads-driven social networks & ones optimizing for “engagement” stopped doing either.

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads
In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

Un avantage de l'écosystème opensource de bluesky! Il y a quelque chose à faire en France aussi pour nos politiques et autres personnalités médiatiques @guillaume.champeau.info @bonpote.com @arretsurimages.net @dschneidermann.bsky.social
I am utterly delighted by this subversive use of the Bluesky label feature, where you can subscribe to a custom app that then adds visible labels to profiles
This one shows you which posh expensive private school British public figures attended, plus their current fees

My latest labeler is finally working!
What it shows for each politician
- 3 labels for the top corp donators
- 3 labels for the top industries that donate to them
Subscribe to this labeler to be more aware of the interests our politicians represent 🚀

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)

also a couple of people asked how to make a twitter archive like this, the code & instructions are here github.com/jvns/tweets-...
(though I just wrote it for myself so a lot of my information is hardcoded into the code)

ok, let's break it down.
at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it
data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

For the new techies here:
1. Bluesky is built on an open social protocol called ATProtocol
2. You CAN & SHOULD hack on this stuff. An open innovation network is our fundamental strategy for beating centralized attention-economy enshittification.

If it can comfort my american friends, Trump victory is not an exception. The US are just leading the way... seeing what is happening in France, UK, and other European countries, there is definitely a normalisation of far right parties in many (most?) EU countries www.politico.eu/article/mapp... 1/2
Mapped: Europe’s rapidly rising right
Hard-right forces are gaining ground ahead of next month’s European Parliament election.

Wow SO MANY interesting people tech folks in the replies.
And even more useful thematic “starter packs” linked in replies (eg Android engineers, eng managers, infrastructure engineers, geospatial engineers etc).

I'd love to follow more software engineers (and folks working closely with devs: e.g. in product, design, data etc)
My problem: it's hard to find these people! And many devs don't (yet) have details in their bios.
If this is you, can you please add a reply and a short description of what you do?
