Pro-tip... don't sell. Even when he offers $1B.

*waggles eyebrows* Good.

This will be short-lived, unfortunately. The sad reality is there is not 1-3 Billion nice people in the world who monitor online social networks. It turns out the medium attracts the worst offenders, by it's very nature.

My favorite thing about bluesky is we can disagree about stuff like Garland, but no one is a huge asshole about it. Everyone is super-nice and people make genuine points and ask legit questions. Thanks for that!!

Let's talk about the Blueskye's 300 character limit - it continues to make us dumber. It can be argued that Twitter's 280-character limit (initially 140 characters) had negative impact on literacy. Reading multiple threads on Twitter always sucked.. How TF one can post a thread here?

Starter Packs are such a simple, intuitive, obvious feature to welcome new folks to the platform. Utterly brilliant. Kicking myself that we didn’t launch them at Twitter! Perfect example that great design is only obvious in retrospect…

Tap tap, is this thing on?
