One way to mitigate these effects is to move social discourse out of the high-velocity feed entirely—to use something like @skysquare.app where you can read conversation in context without subjecting yourself to the rapid novelty, constant switching, and algorithmic mechanisms of the feeds. 👀👇🤷

If you’re following @skysquare.app: today we launched @link.skysquare.app, an experiment in automated posting from the “Skysquare universe” dataset. Link finds the most-shared articles—any of which demos the sidebar’s power to help filter, sort and parse bsky commentary around what you’re reading. 👇

with a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals

Whether you use @skysquare.app or not—very high chances you don't 😬—I am curious if people would think it more creepy or more useful if there were a "readers you know" feature that let the user see who in their graph has shared links to the publication before. If you have any thoughts please share!

BLUESKY: We’re launching an account on Bluesky and will begin sharing our stories there. Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok are brainrot machines, but we’ve decided that Bluesky is different. As a Bluesky user, you own your data and have greater control over the algorithms that serve you content. Also, the platform is extremely publisher friendly and aims to surface and be a quality partner to high-quality news sources. So far, the discourse there seems to be of a higher caliber. So smash that follow button right here @sf.gazetteer.co.

Using @skysquare.app, I realize people would use social quite differently if they encountered posts on the source page, rather than in the feed. An example—this is the quote that stood out for me as well, but Victor had already shared it. I can quote myself, or I can just RT his post 👇 #TrySkysquare

Bluesky may be moving toward communities. That's a valid path. But if you're interested in preserving the public square aspect of the network, we're launching @skysquare.app on July 4 and remain committed to helping people discover and engage with public discourse connected to the open web itself.

Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration
"I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in...we're very inspired by companies like Reddit," Bluesky's Rose Wang told CNBC.
