Billy, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most. It’s the cello. 🎻 He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others. Music is the universal language. #DogsofBluesky #MusicSky

Bluesky is actually really fun if you block the right 27,000 people
[recycling an old joke about mansplaining] How did the bluesky commenter drown? It was in a well, actually
I love Bluesky, the website for people who like to make your own point at you, but more pedantically
On Bluesky I expect to receive bad replies, so I post less than I might otherwise. Not necessarily mean/offensive replies, just annoying slop. Would love to see the platform find a way to incentivize smart/funny/surprising conversations

Love when an innocuous 300 char post that could not possibly contain the full breadth of subtlety and exploration even the most mundane aspects of life possess is accused of intentionally eschewing that exploration and endorsing every element, good or bad, housed within the subjects of that post.
Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w agoextremely funny to me that analysts whose entire job is to think about these possibilities are only now catching up to Bluesky Consensus
I glance back at Twitter periodically and a funny thing I've started noticing is people making fun of Bluesky for... being like old twitter. Even though those same people all agree that "old twitter" was massively better. Also the classic "I looked up the accounts I hate,turns out, still hate them!"
Bluesky is both the sports app and the Catholic schism app, everything you’d need in one place
I don't understand why bsky needs to know my age when simply posting here proves that I'm 38 years old
Our research team is ramping up for coming midterms. Looks like we'll be busy. If you're interested, here's an interactive graph (thanks to Stephen Prochaska) showing how X influencers re-ran the "rigged election" narrative during/following the CA primaries. faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Cumu...
The top 2026 X accounts gives insight into the lie that X is the town square. These people are niche celebrities and their influence on X does not represent influence elsewhere. Your participation is not going to change this graph www.natesilver.net/p/social-med...
blue26.org/26/06/01/blu... I cross post my Dem fundraising links to Bluesky, Twitter, Threads, Mastodon and Spoutible at the same time every time. 23% of what I've raised has come via Bluesky posts. 7.5% via Twitter/X posts. 1.9% via the other 3 combined.
I've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:
Press release says they used "social listening" to check how every state feels about the teams in the NBA finals. The fact they think Indiana prefers the Knicks over the Spurs tells me... that social listening failed.
The way you know Bluesky is not a representative sample is several people are livetweeting their reading of an encyclical
Elon Musk’s X has a full writers text editor. I just tested it, wrote a post telling Bluesky they should pay attention. In the post I use links, styling, the post has a title, edited it, and you can read it in X. x.com/davewiner/st...

Yeah, man. Bluesky sucks. You know what's better? All those other social media networks. Like, famously, man. They all rule.

A little-noticed X account in India was struggling to reach 100 followers when it announced: "Sit tight and have a view while I am working my way up the ladder." Two years later, it's the account Elon Musk interacts with the most. It lavishes praise on Musk and spreads his ideas. wapo.st/4nqjRYk
Not sure it's the fault of Bluesky or anyone on it that some people/institutions chose to stay on the fascist hellsite long after they should have, sensibly, left it. Likewise I don't particularly care if the rest of the world acknowledges this place exists, I'm here for the hangout with my pals.
