I love nature, I love living.
I build technology, I build community.
I dance, I sing, I play, I write.
Boulder is my home, Earth is my home.
If you want to interact, don't just follow me, @ me so I know who you are

Very pleased to see how much Bluesky has grown, in terms of the community and dialogue, and also in terms of the functionality of the app. It's been a while and it feels nice to be back here.

So does threads play a role?
It seems that Threads can now post to other ActivityPub networks, making it perhaps more integrated into the fediverse than X or Bsky.
What is happening here?
Does ATProto make more sense? Do ActivityPub and ATProto have a mutual future?

If this is Blue sky, it seems like we might want to code name X as Red earth. The truth is that we need both; the future isn't blue nor is it red; it is inclusive.

I don't think a mass exodus from X is will support the kind of dialogue that we need in this world; but I do think communication thrives best in a diversity of ecosystems, and this seems to be one place where it is happening. I hope one day, X and Bsky share a common protocol to network together.

While product is important in building social, I think a big reason Bluesky is growing is bc of the vibes here 🦋💙. And the vibes are because of all of you. TY to all the invisible mods, posters, reply guys, etc. Pls keep spreading the love! Shitposting good; harassment bad. Don’t be mean 👎

Truth can be hilarious, and I already hear somebody saying something snarky like "Well it's the truth that bobby looks like a turd sandwich" to which I say, you know nothing about the truth.

I am a cloud in the blue sky.
I am raining drops down all around.
Sometimes others rain with me.
I am inspired by the beautiful storms we create.
