Felix, CEO of Mastodon, and I hope to collaborate more. Mastodon has wide adoption in Europe and 8k communities (servers) running independently. The customization they give communities is inspiring to me. Public squares should be a gathering place for you to discover cozier corners/communities.

“There are two futures before us. In one, closed platforms strangle competition with no incentive to make things better.
In the other, open networks let anyone with a good idea build a better version of social media.” @npub1e7m…yu27

Contact import has always been the most effective way to find people you know on a social app, but it's also been poorly implemented or abused by platforms. We weren't willing to accept that risk, so we developed a fundamentally more secure approach that protects your data.

Takeaways from #eurosky: big tech social media displaced journalism, a core pillar of democracy, and has been bad for society. EU lawmakers want European, privacy-centered tech. There are still questions of whether the internet is worth building on and what to build. But they are talking about it

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

People are talking about Bluesky! From data analyzed between Jan 1 — Aug 18, 2025, we captured 85.5% of share of voice across social, digital, and traditional media, according to Meltwater. This is what death looks like 💀

Bluesky’s user base is roughly 40% female and 60% male. While we don’t collect gender data directly, we manually sampled ~1,500 users to get a representative estimate and a separate analysis by Hootsuite came to a similar demographic split.

It’s wild when the people who control the only feed most people see accuse us of being the echo chamber. People are scared and in pain—they deserve spaces to talk without top-down interference. That’s what we’re building.

That’s it. Pivoting to a tshirt company… had more money coming in today than we did the last two years selling custom domains

I'm going to be in #boston later this month, and I'd love to talk to local orgs, local radio stations, and different student groups/papers about Bluesky. Please dm me if you can help connect me!

Thanks for building with us, all ~26m of you 🥰

2024-11-22 17:38:13 UTC

Journalists & reporters, I would your love ideas on the best way to get your peers here. We’re building the infrastructure for global conversationbut with the openness and tools that allow you to create your own experiences upon that infrastructure. Build with us.👇

2024-11-16 19:05:38 UTC

We’re used to a symbol ✔️ to verify identity and status, which is hierarchical & binary. On bsky, our mods label 🔴 false identities as impersonations and we have more than a binary symbol ✔️ for you to express your presence, like custom domains! More experiments for equitable self-expression to come 🤗

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋
On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

2024-10-24 16:44:30 UTC

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.

2024-10-23 15:43:27 UTC

13M users in time for Halloween? Aw you shouldn't have

2024-10-22 22:41:45 UTC

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!)
