Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 04/08/2026Amen! I've loved seeing (and hearing) @eli.bsky.social appearing on a few different podcats to talk about this research. Considering the platform we're on, I'll pull out my 2 favorite slides from the research. That lay out that we have to find a way to design for a 'hybrid public sphere.' 120
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 15/07/2026And the irony (and meta-commentary) of this happening around a story of VC enshittification of THE flagship example of a third space being destroyed ... 010
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 15/07/2026Then assist hegemonic platforms in raising them up on your own audiences ... 110
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 13/07/2026We're also soft-launching Bluesky Creator Intelligence. A concept we've been playing around with for a few months. Its a dashboard of indie journalists we've mapped on Bluesky who are active on other platforms and/or have other products 131
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 01/07/2026This hockey stick growth is insane. Great, great reporting. The numbers don’t lie. 0192
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 24/06/2026Yes. And love when the algo finds ways to make it even more clear: 020
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 14/06/2026App looks great gang. Glad to have you all back at it in this new indie era: 080
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 10/06/2026It's why the @journalismatlas.com built Bluesky Intelligence to track what journalists are active here and what products they may be monetizing on the commercial web -- and might be developed on protocol with the right technologist partnership. journalismatlas.com/bluesky-crea... 030
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 29/04/2026@fredkatz.bsky.social with the perfect encapsulation of how an off-ball Jalen Brunson broke out last night … Knicks look primed for a Spring run .. 100
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 20/04/2026Saving this InfoWars google search result for posterity. The world is a better place when ‘satire’ can illustrate how absurd reality has turned. May you all burn a permanent place in search results with that label. Congratulations @bencollins.bsky.social @jdlaflure.bsky.social and team. 140
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 09/04/2026What a scoop @lenasun.bsky.social Gift link: wapo.st/4ccudpF 011
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 31/03/2026Over on a certain other social feed, this nightmare continued to haunt me: 010
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 25/03/2026Good to be on the internet, a bit more these days! We’ve got a fun few months ahead of us: 020
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 11/03/2026Great, great piece as always. Particularly loved this simple, elegant bit of analysis on that Claude chart: 110
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 08/01/2026Yeah. In these moments we need as much energy on-the-ground reporting as possible. Let the public express what it is feeling and seeing. Like this chilling reporting from @washingtonpost.com 141
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 20/11/2025@lenasun.bsky.social letting the facts speak for themselves quite clearly: 100
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 11/11/2025The reporting @indicator.media did lays out, this is the new (old?) ecosystem: 000
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 10/11/2025Thankful to see such clear, actionable steps identified. 021
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 29/05/2025If @milkkarten.bsky.social’s survey results are a leading indicator, the tide is starting to go out over there: 150
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 19/05/2025Great thread. Really great interview. Something I've noticed and LOVED is how liminaly active the community has become. You can see it in the steady growth of likes across the platform. It feels even more evident within different starter-packs and feeds. Like #nbasky for this Knicks playoff run. 020
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 08/05/2025Those Knick wins are particularly crazy how thorough and sudden the win probabilities shifted. 020
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 23/04/2025Just a little overview of what society has gained from this longitudinal study ... 1436
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 22/04/2025I'm pulling out some of the insights and findings that feel most germane to me -- (1) the continuing consensus around the impacts of inflammation and (2) the continuing call to treat Long Covid alongside other underlying conditions 110
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 17/04/2025Come for the haikus. Stay for the clear, direct language connecting corporate malfeasance to market economics … 020
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 17/04/2025What a reflection of the state of Google products that a 24-hour old blog is still able to drive such a big audience and be a Top Read on @theverge.com well after it's resolved. I imagine lots of confused Discover readers are wondering why they clicked over. 000
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 18/02/2025The sub-Reddit /FedNews is filled with stories from folks sharing what they’re experiencing. Heartbreaking. But also inspiring. They almost always mention the public and their colleagues, first. 031
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 13/02/2025Following the money and documenting ACTUAL receipts from public Treasury data. 👏👏 @stphnfwlr.com and @npr.org 011
Justin Bank @bankonjustin.com · 28/01/2025A jarring example of how one industrious operator used AI to scale up a flimsy local news network. Backed by some very thorough, human-powered reporting that doubles as a nice commentary/counter-point on the power of real journalism. Hell of a pull quote from @rodneygibbs.com, too! 130
