It's free speech! **

** = if you avoid specific key words, don't post any link, has bots boosted follow base, pay for blue tick, type something that gains lots of engagement for maximum visibility.

Talking about hristianity. Let's read the Holy ible!

"it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name."

@Hank Green

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

2/25
@‪Andre‬ ‪@being-andre.bsky.social‬

Incorrect.

I signed up to seek validation from outside sources to help satiate my dopamine cravings.

@‪risenphoenix13.bsky.social‬ ‪@risenphoenix13.bsky.social‬

s someone who didn’t ever really use Twitter it’s interesting to see how “experienced” people are using this versus what is essentially my digital flailing about while I figure out how I use this and why.

ll I want is a good dopamine meme farm. That’s life goals, right?

I really wish people would realize that the lack of “protocol police” means that data mining, influence campaigns, pay-to-play, and SEO have the potential to get wildly out of control here. No billionaires, but a lot more responsibility!

@‪bostonsgabeitch.bsky.social‬ ‪@bostonsgabeitch.bsky.social‬

Im still not even sure what im doing here since I never made a twitter, I joined to get away from Reddit because it’s also trending towards some unsavory tendencies. The vibes are that of a chill party where I don’t know anyone.

22/25
@‪Steff‬ ‪@steffaniesays.bsky.social‬

This post is just making me miss MYSPE ! Lol

23/25
@‪Missino‬ ‪@onedeuxtriseigo.nullpo.dev‬

The fun part is you can actually pretty trivially build MySpace, tumblr, cohost, and the other user blog oriented sites on top of bluesky's atproto. So you may get your wish and a MySpace 2.0 may be in our future.

24/25
@‪DatNoFact‬ ‪@datnofact.bsky.social‬

major goal of social media should be for people to curate exactly what kind of experience they want. Nobody derides people for being able to choose the books they want to read or films they want to watch yet social media gets treated like it's some kind of virtue to have less control.

@‪Nemo‬ ‪@nemo55.bsky.social‬

emocrats keep playing by rules that don’t exist. 😂 Trump will pardon January 6 criminals regardless of iden’s actions. ems need to stop being politically correct all the time—it’s sickening. I’m glad iden pardoned his son; Trump would have pardoned his family members ten times over.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority

👋 Hello, BlueSky! MTA here, nice to see you! We’ll be bringing you updates about agency wide goings-on (*ahem* congestion pricing), major service changes, and some fun stuff, too.

2/25
‪Metropolitan Transportation Authority‬ ‪@mta.info‬

One thing that’ll be different from our Twitter feed is that this account won’t be monitored 24/7. If you have questions or issues, you can reach our 24/7 teams at https://[U][URL]https://mta.info//whatsapp[/URL][/U] (for subway/bus) or in the TrainTime app (for LIRR/Metro-North), and get the status of your train/bus at mta.info.

3/25
‪Metropolitan Transportation Authority‬ ‪@mta.info‬

And don’t forget that you can get real-time service updates via text or email—visit Sign up for MTA alerts and newsletters to sign up. You can customize your alerts for when you regularly travel, and the lines/routes you use most frequently.

4/25
‪Metropolitan Transportation Authority‬ ‪@mta.info‬

And one other note: Please remember that there are real people on the other side of this account! We’re here to have fun and share all the cool things the MTA is doing. Thanks, as always, for riding with us!

what kind of dev magic

19/40
‪Dom - @geektoybox‬ ‪@geektoybox.com‬

It's a feature of Bsky via the API, I think. There is an app called BlueArk (@blueark.app) that lets you import your Twitter posts back dated like this.

20/40
‪Bee 🐝‬ ‪@sweetbee.vip‬

are you telling me this was posted on twitter in 1975

21/40
‪Dom - @geektoybox‬ ‪@geektoybox.com‬

No, BlueArk uses the same API Microsoft used to backdate their post.

22/40
‪Bee 🐝‬ ‪@sweetbee.vip‬

ah gotcha tysm ☺️

23/40
‪Kevin Jones‬ ‪@vcsjones.dev‬

Yep. In Bluesky the app can decide what the post date is. If it's in the past, they assume it's an archive post. Scott Hanselman 🌮 (@scott.hanselman.com)

Wasn't Windows 7 one of the last good Microsoft products?

‪fluppy‬ ‪@fluppy.bsky.social‬

VS Code is a good product and Windows 10 is fine

29/40
‪BigOnAnime‬ ‪@bigonanime.bsky.social‬

Windows 10 forced stuff like Candy Crush on people and had a bad Start menu (bring back 7's). My little experience with it was quite poor.

My Windows 8.1 laptop updated to 10 when I fell asleep with it on, then not long after, my HDD died, I put 8.1 on the new HDD, and still am on 8.1 to this day.

30/40
‪BigOnAnime‬ ‪@bigonanime.bsky.social‬

I'm soon going to begrudgingly get an old used Thinkpad with 10 because browser support for 8.1 stopped so many things like streaming video no longer works outside Firefox due to oudated DRM.

I see towards the end for 10 they're now forcing AI features on everyone, the crap many despise about 11.

31/40
‪BigOnAnime‬ ‪@bigonanime.bsky.social‬

(Another reason for wanting the "upgrade" to a different laptop, my now nearly 12 year old laptop has a resolution of 1366x768, ugh. Though that's on the manufacturers, not Microsoft.)

1. yes this is real, i wouldnt have the motivation to fake something like this. see [Subs] Draft by estrattonbailey · Pull Request #6977 · bluesky-social/social-app
2. obviously wip, please dont bully the devs if some of this stuff changes between now and release

3/40
‪rea‬ ‪@saeri.xyz‬

just for the record, it may be possible that the perks, except the badge, will be held back for some time while they work on putting out fires (source: the pr)

they are however entertaining the idea of offering a discount for early subscribers

4/40
‪rea‬ ‪@saeri.xyz‬

took a nap and my post exploded, hi

to be perfectly clear if anyone at bluesky wants me to delete the post, i will comply. spreading dubious information is about the last thing i want to be doing

(im already debating locking replies and quotes to extinguish things a bit)

I wouldn't worry about it, the code is right there and if you take it down someone else will just put it up, it's done

‪Quietly Curious 🇺🇦🇨🇦 🏝️ 🤙🍍🍕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🦄🐙🐉‬ ‪@quietlycurious.bsky.social‬

I’m okay with having a fee based membership for those who want extra perks but I would hope they would still make it free. If I have to pay then I’m out because I have been jobless for two years and I can’t afford to do anything outside of basic bills and food.

8/40
‪dan‬ ‪@danabra.mov‬

just flagging that this is a UI mockup and the list of features doesn’t necessarily match what will be released. we need to get better at avoiding setting expectations via mockups since it’s open source so people poke at every branch

9/40
‪dan‬ ‪@danabra.mov‬

so we’re sorry for the confusion! some of these are likely to make it but please don’t take this as an actual list of planned features. we’ll announce the actual list when more work is done.

10/40
‪dan‬ ‪@danabra.mov‬

(also, the “coming soon” here is also just testing ui treatment and doesn’t at all mean these things are coming soon)

11/40
‪dan‬ ‪@danabra.mov‬

bluesky is an open source product which is unusual: anyone outside the company can look at feature drafts, prototypes and unfinished work. it is common in other companies to post a piece of code internally with placeholder text and then replace it before going live, but in our case it *starts* live

12/40
‪JYC‬ ‪@jyc.dev‬

Yes, most of people don't realize this. But please continue and lead the way to be the new normal!

Lot of folks, want this platform to be different & sustainable, and we are willing to support (without anything in return). But even "a lot", is probably not enough.

You will find the way 💪

13/40
‪Lady Stryx‬ ‪@amstryx.bsky.social‬

I still think they need a means of providing a donation option for those who want to support this platform but can't/won't do subscriptions.
Maybe give a perk that's available forever after a 1-time donation.
The in-line translation and bookmarks should definitely be free features though.

14/40
‪Cheshire Fatorum‬ ‪@cheshirefatorum.bsky.social‬

I see the point for bookmarks, but translations cost money, so we'll have to pay for them one way or another.

Google & Co make them free for end users, not for other companies.

‪Sidewalk Pirate‬ ‪@sidewalkpirate.bsky.social‬

18/40
‪Tianna Mortis‬ ‪@tiannamortis.bsky.social‬

I’ll definitely be subbing as soon as they offer it. Even if the features stayed the same, I’m fine supporting the site to help keep it awesome and ad free.

19/40
‪Maddie Rae Gun‬ ‪@maddieraegun.bsky.social‬

Yeah please don’t do this. This kinda shyt is exactly why we all left Twitter (well that and the rampant transphobia)

20/40
‪mommert‬ ‪@mommert.bsky.social‬

This is how the platform continues to exist without relying on ads. There's no indication that the paid features of Twitter will inform how this works, there shouldn't be anything like bumped up replies.

21/40
‪Liberal Rebound‬ ‪@rebound.liberalrepublic.org‬

I might get it just to support them, but before anyone gets mad, keep in mind you can use alternate clients which effectively give you the same benefits for free, and this isn't going to algo boost you at all like it does on twitter.

22/40
‪Mike Aparicio‬ ‪@peruvianidol.com‬

I’ll pay $72 just to upload my own GIFs and not look like an idiot when only the first frame shows like a JPG. 😅

‪Safe Muffins‬ ‪@safemuffins.vip‬

You can already do this. Hit the video upload button and select your gif.

It works. I tested it. It was added in the last update I believe.

24/40
‪Mike Aparicio‬ ‪@peruvianidol.com‬

Does it work in the iOS app or only on web? Because last I tried, it didn't work.

25/40
‪Safe Muffins‬ ‪@safemuffins.vip‬

Cant speak to that, PC/Android here. I tested it via PC firefox.

Pretty sure Mike Masnick (@mmasnick.bsky.social) posted about it, and I then tested it for myself.

34/40
‪Jay‬ ‪@jdbatts79.bsky.social‬

This is just so stupid. I feel like the site needs actual verification of noteworthy users like old Twitter, not badges for random people who pay money. If you need to raise money from users ask for donations or something

35/40
🪱 gabriel 🪱‬ ‪@gabrielandworms.bsky.social‬

It's this or ads, so I get it, but I think $8 a month is a little much. A lower price might make people more willing to get a sub

‪Snailbunny Designs 🐌‬ ‪@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.social‬

Not that we don’t appreciate what you do but I can think of a few things I’d prefer over subscriptions. If you need to make money I understand totally, but as far as stuff that benifits us I’d say work on being able to pm images first. It would really help artists

38/40
‪Snailbunny Designs 🐌‬ ‪@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.social‬

I just realized you aren’t the dev, well that response is more for them but seriously I would love to be able to pm images so I don’t have to communicate on freaking deviantart for commission work

39/40
‪rahaeli‬ ‪@rahaeli.bsky.social‬

The reason they haven't enabled images in DMs yet is because it's a really common abuse vector and allowing people to swap images one-on-one privately is a serious risk for the company (you can probably guess what people use it for, sigh).

40/40
‪Snailbunny Designs 🐌‬ ‪@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.social‬

ahhh yes that is an issue. I just wish there was a way around it without major privacy issues. It would be so much easier than switching programs. Also DA really sucks and I want to have an excuse to just not use it.

just gonna mention that feature list in the screenshot was eric riffing and filling in text, don't take it as the actual planned features

3/12
‪Paul Frazee‬ ‪@pfrazee.com‬

also any of the design work there is WIP

sometimes open source is challenging

4/12
‪rahaeli‬ ‪@rahaeli.bsky.social‬

As someone else who learned this the hard way: I strongly endorse using blatant parody text and wildly exaggerated or wildly-too-small numbers in design mock-ups at all times! The top feature is "Cover profile in cats", the cost is $1000/month, etc.

5/12
‪Bossett‬ ‪@bossett.social‬

ok look $1k/m is a *little* steep but the cat thing… maybe if there was like a financing option?

6/12
‪rahaeli‬ ‪@rahaeli.bsky.social‬

When I was explaining our soon-to-be-launched "buy additional permanent slots for profile jewelry" system for final feedback I was virtually certain the cost would be $1/slot, but there was still that tiny tiny chance it would change ... so I explained the system to people using $100/slot!

7/12
‪rahaeli‬ ‪@rahaeli.bsky.social‬

"Just so we don't accidentally commit to something we can't live up to, I will comically exaggerate this to indicate I'm being ridiculous" works great with appropriate disclaimers!

‪Samantha Ferreira Is On Sabbatical Until April‬ ‪@sam-animeherald.bsky.social‬

Oh thank god... I hope the badge idea is nixed, because it is just a bit *too* close to "Twitter Blue-check" territory.

10/12
‪smug‬ ‪@smugy.bsky.social‬

The real issue with the cursed check bubble is those accounts get auto-boosted. If it's just there on the account, especially if only when opening the full profile, then it could be a nice thank you moment for supporting, but would need to be exclusively that
