We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video!

Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Long live decentralization ✊
open! network!

users don't have to rebuild their following all over again each time they switch to a different app, so platforms can't lock them in

developers can bootstrap new social apps off an existing social graph of 27M+ people

win-win 🤝
Bluesky is getting its own photo-sharing app, Flashes

people bypassing nudity filters, messing with posts to do `@everyone`s, gaming what's hot, creating bot hell threads, etc: "haha silly devs we got you"

no silly we got you. whole point is to have fun & break shit rn. been so long since the internet was fun & you just fell for it hook line & sinker

bluesky is not going to be able to keep the beautiful chaotic culture of the olden days (5 days ago) as the site grows but we can still try to build a better one than what came before

📢 Hey friends! We've got a Web app for you to try!

https://staging.bsky.app/

This is an early staging build. There are lots of rough edges still and it only works on desktop, but it definitely works! Enjoy and let us know how it goes!
Bluesky Social
See what's next.

I wrote up some thoughts about how Bluesky can/should support OAuth, both for applications to access users' accounts, as well as allowing users to log in to their bsky.social account using their own website!
OAuth Support in Bluesky and AT Protocol
Bluesky, a new social media platform and AT Protocol, is unsurprisingly running up against the same challenges and limitations that Flickr, Twitter and many other social media platforms faced in the 2000s: passwords!

We made it! App Store takes a bit to distribute to everyone but take a look if 1.6 has made it to you!
