  I thought Bluesky was dead when Threads launched.  I was wrong.  Although Bluesky still has to close the gap in terms of audience and content discovery, open registration and hashtags will help.  Most impressive IMO: Bsky has developed a competitive edge by open sourcing algorith…

  We're investing in safety from two angles.  —  1. We've built our own moderation team dedicated to providing around-the-clock coverage to uphold our community guidelines.
