And the irony (and meta-commentary) of this happening around a story of VC enshittification of THE flagship example of a third space being destroyed ...
Then assist hegemonic platforms in raising them up on your own audiences ...
We're also soft-launching Bluesky Creator Intelligence. A concept we've been playing around with for a few months. Its a dashboard of indie journalists we've mapped on Bluesky who are active on other platforms and/or have other products
This hockey stick growth is insane. Great, great reporting. The numbers don’t lie.
App looks great gang. Glad to have you all back at it in this new indie era:
It's why the @journalismatlas.com built Bluesky Intelligence to track what journalists are active here and what products they may be monetizing on the commercial web -- and might be developed on protocol with the right technologist partnership. journalismatlas.com/bluesky-crea...
@fredkatz.bsky.social with the perfect encapsulation of how an off-ball Jalen Brunson broke out last night … Knicks look primed for a Spring run ..
Saving this InfoWars google search result for posterity. The world is a better place when ‘satire’ can illustrate how absurd reality has turned. May you all burn a permanent place in search results with that label. Congratulations @bencollins.bsky.social @jdlaflure.bsky.social and team.

Good to be on the internet, a bit more these days! We’ve got a fun few months ahead of us:
Great, great piece as always. Particularly loved this simple, elegant bit of analysis on that Claude chart:
Yeah. In these moments we need as much energy on-the-ground reporting as possible. Let the public express what it is feeling and seeing. Like this chilling reporting from @washingtonpost.com
@lenasun.bsky.social letting the facts speak for themselves quite clearly:
The reporting @indicator.media did lays out, this is the new (old?) ecosystem:
If @milkkarten.bsky.social’s survey results are a leading indicator, the tide is starting to go out over there:
Great thread. Really great interview. Something I've noticed and LOVED is how liminaly active the community has become. You can see it in the steady growth of likes across the platform. It feels even more evident within different starter-packs and feeds. Like #nbasky for this Knicks playoff run.
Those Knick wins are particularly crazy how thorough and sudden the win probabilities shifted.
Just a little overview of what society has gained from this longitudinal study ...
