Me: remembers their blog, types in their name, finds blog quickly, clicks on blog
Me: See's butterfly icon in top right corner, next to other social, clicks
Me: See's handle [firstname][lastname].com
Me: Guess I can post more here

With some minor time passing, keeping an eye

New thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMKQ...
Delightful. Exceptional craft. People should realize that it's a lot of work, decades, to do it.
How people realize it is a trick.
How people stay engaged while there is a trick.
Lots of tricks, not sure how we solve, not sure whose trying.

Hi. New here. If you have a clever fail image you can play off this well in the future, and maybe you have it in place now. Balances where this spawned from and where the new place is going in a nice way for old heads and new. Anyways, happys its back

So anyways, while I'm quiet posting, I'm really interested how @bsky.app becomes a true new-wave platform vs. parody+ platform based on current issues that fizzles out. We all fucking lose then because the other option is easier and bigger and survives the short term, but not necessarily long term

"Owning" a name/handle is fucking hard too - there's a lot of john smiths. So this isn't an easy, instant solve, but if I wanted Bluesky to grow as a shared media platform with interesting takes and all the people I enjoy hearing and learning from...that's something to solve-uniquely.

So maybe there's a space, given protocol things, to create a more agnositc and accepted name, that can also have a brand association that's easier to use publicly (you could keep the butterfly even, this is beyond the fucking thread, but noodle on it), and you can "own" names to a degree.

It's fucking hard to up-end people saying "here's my handal" and it being associated with Twitter. Major news sews uses the bird, and I don't know how @bsky.app has a bird (and butterfly may hit..not sure it is differentiated enough)

I'm slow to go through this while looking at all-the-things and core benefits, but bluesky's pretty fucking great. With that said, it's great for their protocol level options, less nazi focused, has some base features for users that are net good (and they can expand here)

a UX point to @bsky.app I should see the thing I just posted immediately so I can post again. You can then pick out both camps and change the experience for both to improve ux(or cx depending stakeholder)

Taking some getting used to, and I miss the established connections, but...hopeful :)

I just came back to social things after a long break and leaving twitter due to reasons and I'm fucking delighted to see you + this once I come back to things. Also - I waited til it finished. I'm starting tomorrow.
