Really curious about Blue Sky’s group capabilities, something I have been wondering about for a while.

Lately, I’ve seen people get caught up in Trump and Musk’s trolling, wasting energy on culture war distractions. They thrive on outrage, but we need to focus on what matters: protecting our institutions and building a strong, united people’s movement. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

@skyseed.fund is protocol governance a concern for Skyseed? Is there a conflict of interest with the for profit, Blue Sky (albeit a Benefit Corp), governing over ATproto, something intended to be an open commons? I think funding nonprofit governance dev alongside technical projects would be wise.

Social media right now is a game of pick your favorite (or least bad) corporate autocracy. Blue Sky has the opportunity to usher us into a new paradigm of media and social sense making, if they stick to their mission. I hope management considers spinning off a nonprofit to govern ATproto.

Since writing began, creating text took far more effort than consuming it. As technology advanced, this gap closed. Now, with AI, the scales have flipped—creating content is often faster and easier than consuming it.

This is an excellent summary of the state the social web. People using Bluesky, Threads (those who’ve federated), Mastodon, Flipboard and other apps built on AT Proto and ActivityPub are rapidly forming a new open social graph that is making human connection a formal part of the open web.

There is a critique and concern that Blue Sky is just for lefties. Do you think this is true? Do you want it to be true? I for one think Blue Sky should be for everyone. We should highlight the benefits of real transparency, algorithmic choice, and an open protocol, as compared to X and Facebook.

Wait. It just occurred to me. The push by a ton of MAGA folks in the Missouri v. Biden case (including the district court ruling) was that effectively NO White House official could talk to any social media company without violating the First Amendment. Yet now Elon Musk will be a WH official.

Bluesky is a PBC (public benefit corporation) with the mission “to develop and drive large-scale adoption of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation.” From the start, our goal has been to build a decentralized social network that is usable by the mainstream.

rare to have a social network where the CEO isn't the main character and we'd like to keep it that way but for the record, @jay.bsky.team is the CEO of bluesky, jack dorsey is no longer on the board and he owns 0% of the company

This might be the first time an open source app is at the top of the app store. Definitely the first open source social app.

Imagine if the Web died when Netscape or Yahoo did! It's strange to even think that. The same should apply to social networks.

Trump is preaching a lot of values of the Blue Sky and decentralized social networking community. I don’t trust him to implement these ideals but it is nonetheless wild to hear these ideas come out of his mouth, but someone else’s brain. Check it out, mind blowing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJfU...

What are the implications of this investment? Could Blue Sky reconcile governing ATproto with shareholder interests by splitting into a nonprofit and for-profit, with the nonprofit supporting open protocol adoption through diverse implementations?
