We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Charlie Kirk, right-wing influencer and close Trump ally, dead after being shot at a Utah university event
Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump. More to come.

Terrifying day. The downstream consequences could be scary too. Of the many reasons not to tweet gleefully about Kirk getting shot (also: it's morally wrong), a big one is you don't want to give these people any more ammo in their fight to shut down two-party competition in America

Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.
