I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings
If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Taking a break from your social apps seems like a really healthy thing to do.
Hacker News even has a setting ("noprocrast") that lets you block yourself from using the site too much.
The legacy apps don't have this functionality because of their incentives (ads) but Bluesky apps could do it.

request for feedback: over the past 6ish hours, how has the "follow spam" appeared for you? i wouldn't expect it to be fully resolved by any means, but i would hope that there's a fairly significant downtick. but i dont necessarily have the same look as users, so feedback would be helpful!

Exciting to see new, independent projects spin up to decentralize the atproto ecosystem! Building alternative infrastructure is a big step towards giving users more choice and making the network billionaire-proof.
Big news! There's a new project that's raising cash to build out AT Protocol infrastructure that isn't dependent on venture-funded Bluesky, to stimulate the development of new social networks using that infrastructure, and to make the protocol's governance more democratic fortune.com/2025/01/13/m...
Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media
The likes of Mark Ruffalo and Jimmy Wales are backing the Free Our Feeds project, to ensure Bluesky's tech will thrive even if the company goes bad.

Our world is in a bad way, where moderate and reasonable people, who were once in the majority, watch helplessly as extreme ideas give way to all kinds of populism.
This thread from Mark Zuckerberg could’ve been written by Elon Musk. The last thing we need is X and Threads adopting the same perspective on moderation. I’ve read it through a few times and I feel worse about it each time.
