Is anyone talking about the bot problem on BlueSky? I'm pretty sure that none of the fashion models messaging me "Hello!" in the screenshot are real. #bots #bluesky

BlueSky is awesome ❤️ but BlueSky will not meet all of our social networking needs. In the past we used Twitter for some purposes and Instagram/Facebook for others. The "friend network" we need to replace Insta/FB has three key properties that BlueSky doesn't:

How’s this for a GTM strategy? Offer Joinable to employers, schools, clubs, and other organizations that are trying to build community. Help them set up a private circle, and get their members to start posting as a way to get to know each other on a much more authentic personal level. Thoughts?

Getting traction on a new social media platform is hard. Observation: people adopt a new tool when it helps them in the pursuit of one of their existing strongly held goals, like earning income, supporting a cause, etc. Can anyone think of a user segment that would benefit greatly from joinable.us?

OK, so it's Sunday night and I already built 2 of the 7 growth ideas I proposed this morning. One of them is even deployed to production (you can guess which). I'm going to call it a productive weekend... 😼

It's not breaking news, but as I'm trying to wrap my head around the differences and capabilities of this new social platform, I found this interview with Bluesky CEO Jay Graber very helpful and inspiring: www.wired.com/story/big-in...

Bluesky Now Has 24 Million Users. Jay Graber Is Still Vowing to Keep It From Enshittification

At WIRED's The Big Interview event, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber discussed the booming user numbers for the Twitter rival and why giving social media users more control is a recipe for success.

So I just had this thought: what if every day we came up with a few smart ideas that would increase engagement or growth, and we built and tested the one that sounded the best? Here are my ideas for today:

This is really interesting. Can someone explain to me how this works? I presume he's using the AT protocol.

By far the biggest challenge in this "rebuilding" process is to overcome network effects. When you're big, network effects are a great advantage, but when you're building something new (and better!) they are a huge barrier. How to get people to try Joinable when their friends aren't on it yet???

So we have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now, as an industry, to rebuild a lot of our social sharing and communication infrastructure. Bluesky is rebuilding Twitter, but we also need Tiktok, LinkedIn, Facebook (the parts people still use), and Instagram to name a few.

There's never been a better time to switch from unhealthy corporate social media to an independent, human-centered social network. Come join me on Joinable. jnbl.us/app
