I really want Bluesky to succeed, but I also want to see a healthy ecosystem spring up around the AT Protocol, and that includes Bluesky alternatives. If we want to avoid a repeat of what happened with Twitter then a healthy ecosystem is a requirement.

Woman with a clipboard approaches me outside the grocery store. I respond with a bigger clipboard. She whips out an even bigger clipboard. I’ve lost this round.

The NYT reviewer fucking likes Absolution except the fucking funny fucking Lowry fucking section. Yay. Happy fucking pub week! Thanks for buying my fucking novel. Can I get a fucking amen! www.nytimes.com/2024/10/22/b...

NYT reviewer calls part 3 of Absolutiob interminable, just skip to last 3 chapters ( which means didn't get any of the reveals to the mysteries)

A reader in profane fashion describes loving part 3 of Absolution.

dev team barely cusped past double digits while building a FOSS app for over 12M users with working media, blue sky social is chartered as a B Corp, *funding has to come from somewhere*, I don’t know what else you nerds need to stop drinking resentful hateraid for once in your godforsaken life

Screenshot of rose.bsky.team quote post:

Original post by Rose:

People keep asking how we make money.
Fair q. Right now, we are supported by funds and angel investors bc our focus is on the user experience & dev ecosystem.
More immediate $ plans coming soon.
Most importantly, we won't hyperfinancialize the social experience. (& we don't sell your data!)

Post screenshot quoting rose:

I'm sure these benevolent venture funds will never betray us

I’m going to close my eyes and cover my ears and hum really loudly until election day and maybe continue for a few years after that

Favorite outtake from my halloween photo shoot at the shelter today. 🎃

Photo of a stunning shorthaired brown tabby kitten with murder in its eyes, chomping on the stem of a small pumpkin against a black backdrop.
