Bluesky isn't just another Twitter/X competitor. It fixes what's wrong with social media. By Fred Vogelstein I joined Bluesky as soon as I could get my hands on an invite back in the summer of 2023. Twitter/X had become an increasingly unpleasant...

Bluesky is approaching meaningful scale with 30M+ users.

Spent some time this weekend playing with AI agents. Anyone have a favorite?

Oh yes. Meant to read this.

Finally hired an EA and already feeling less anxious. 😊

For those with EAs, what creative projects or tasks do you delegate? My list is already long, but would love more inspiration.

True, although what would incentivize Twitter to do so?

They benefit from controlling their ecosystem. One could argue that embracing an open protocol will lead to more experimentation and engagement, but it’s early.

I’m haunted

That’s an astute point. Perhaps we should prompt people that reviewed a product to revisit and provide additional insight.

Spending this morning thinking through improvements for Product Hunt’s review system.

If anyone has shower thoughts, please share. :)

(I don’t have a formal role at PH anymore but want to help out)

When will Bluesky come to the web/desktop?

FWIW, I spend most of my Twitter time on Tweetdeck. I’m one of those. :)

Or maybe self-promotion is a net positive. It’s a strong value prop and driver of engagement.

New social networks often feel more intimate because they haven’t been overrun by self-promotion.

Once people build a larger following and more people join, there’s a stronger motivation to self-promote.

How might Bluesky avoid this?

Appreciate it, Amir 🤘🏼

Howdy!

Playing with Bluesky. Hi! 👋🏼
