wtf do you mean the guy who made Inside is going to be the next prime minister
Plenty more to come for bsky sports, but beyond anything else I appreciate that our culture here is one of celebration and enjoyment vs. dunking, rage bait, and harassment. Bluesky: we actually like sports.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's totally fucking dope that this place became the sports app. You need the experts, the beat writers, the nerds teaching you the game, the sycophants, the casual fans, the newbies, and the lookie loos to make it all work and Bluesky has gotten these segments in pretty much every sport now.
Bluesky has the juice (Brad Stuver is an active MLS goalkeeper for Austin FC campaigning here on Bluesky for MLS All-Star game votes and I will vote for him)
Brad Stuver@bradstuver.com · 3mo agoMLS All-Star voting is open! 3 games left and a lot of work still to do but heres some objectove stats to help with your decision Vote here: www.austinfc.com/news/vote-au...
To all those that follow me on Twitter/X, both my personal and Arsenal accounts have been hacked and I no longer have access to either 😩 The owners have been no use whatsoever, therefore I am thinking of making this account live to supply info.

Good read, and prompted me to dig into some bsky stats. YTD, NBA content has generated approx. 10% more views than baseball content, but baseball posting volume is 10% higher. Probably a good sign for baseball given that the season has just begun, but NBA is also just ramping up to playoffs too

I've seen a lot of chatter today about Instagram ending support for optional End-to-End Encrypted DMs. I helped to lead on cryptography and privacy for E2EE in Messenger and Instagram for many years, until I left around 10 months ago, so it's disappointing to see it being removed from Instagram.
Apropos of nothing, @defector.com has the championship belt for best website on the internet right now. Both reminiscent of and better than the peak blog era internet.
Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app. I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.
This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites
SeanOne@seanone.bsky.social · 5mo agoFinishing up Day 3 in the Paralympic Village, great to see my mixed doubles teammates starting off with a big W against a very good Latvian team! 🇺🇸🥌
Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here. I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!
Joshua J. Friedman@joshuajfriedman.com · 7mo agoHappy New Year, friends! I have some ~personal news~, which is that the Bluesky team is generously giving me some contract work (which could possibly turn into a job) welcoming more indie media and local govt to Bsky and supporting those already here. Excited to take my amateur Bsky boosterism pro!
search is getting an upgrade soon. if you could fix or change something thing about it, what would it be?
we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto. Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky. we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.
These books are fun and the event will be good. Also it won't be 13 degrees anymore. Come through if you're around.
Yaron Weitzman@yaronweitzman.bsky.social · 6mo agoREALLY excited for this. I'm joining the awesome duo of @pjsauer.bsky.social & @davidjroth.bsky.social for @squawkinsports.bsky.social this Thursday night at @greenlightbklyn.bsky.social to talk about LeBron and the Lakers. Get your tix here: greenlightbookstore.com/event/2026-0...
Super Bowl feed traffic is bigger than expected! Tossing some fixes in place
Haven't seen a sports-specific starter pack for Washington Post folks affected by recent layoffs so created one below - please show them your support and give a follow (let me know if I've missed anyone too!)
You’re the best Christine. Thanks for everything!

Highly recommend. Some great insight into the complexities of players' associations and governance during the back half. As Andy says it's unusual that the burden of progress is often put on athletes who find themselves caught between federations and their colleagues..
