We’ve invested in cutting down DM spam over the past week, so you should see fewer scammers and spammers in your inbox. Expect more improvements in this area as we build additional tooling.

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.
We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj

Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

I would love for Bluesky to be able to hire an absolute team of gremlins, whose only jobs are to:

* Find networks of bots, spammers, misinfo groups, and smoosh them
* Write public posts (with some delay) about how they found + broke the efforts

I want Project Zero meets SCP foundation reports.

An Indian politician is trying to do damage control on controversial comments he made by falsely claiming that an audio recording of him was deepfaked. Might be the first time this has happened; definitely won't be the last.

Deepfake experts noted that AI can be used as a cover by politicians when embarrassing audio and video clips of them emerge.

Now THIS is verification. Incredibly simple powerful concept. There are confusion issues for sure that benefit from a human moderator, but it unlocks it significantly to the whole audience.

Today is the day! #
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 opens in theaters! At the end of the day, this is a movie about joy & compassion & learning to see beyond the rim of our own worlds & having empathy for all living things.

Got to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 last night. It was a fitting conclusion to the Guardians trilogy and one of the best MCU films I've seen in a while. Like always, the soundtrack was magnificent. Thank you, @jamesgunn.bsky.social and wish you all the best with the DCU.

In all seriousness Bluesky has taught me I actually want two things in a social media app: it barely works so I can’t use it all the time, and I can scroll to the end and feel done with it. Reliability and bottomless content are features everyone was dying to implement and actually both are curses

Despite the fact that we (in many cases) know better, we're inevitably going to have some security issues.

If you find one, please send us an email: security@bsky.app

If you want us to, we'll publicly credit you as a contributor!

(We likely will run a bounty program in the future, just not yet.)
