Bluesky is certainly having a moment. The platform now has over 21 million users, and those users are active: posting, sharing, following new accounts, and creating starter packs for other users to join, too. Meta is, no doubt, seeing this success, and wants a piece of it for its similar platform, Threads. While Threads has […]
Martin Wattenberg drew up a live visualization that shows colors mentioned in Bluesky posts, via the firehose. Just let the wave of calm wash over you. I’m sure there are many more mashups to come, but I’ll probably shift anymore sharing to Bluesky itself, so as not to inundate you with a firehose about using […]
I may be more than mildly obsessed with Bluesky, the new-ish social media network that is taking the internet by storm, and serving as a safe haven for many former X users fleeing Elon Musk’s increasingly unpleasant virtual cesspit (I may be editorializing a bit too much here). It’s just that I haven’t had this […]
Since the election, Bluesky has acquired millions of new users and surpassed Threads on app stores. Many new Bluesky users are praising the feeling on the site as being similar to “old Twitter.” Social media researchers told BI users wait for a large enough user base before switching sites.

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you’re about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won’t do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that […]
Bluesky recently announced that it does not train its generative artificial intelligence (AI) models on user data. The social media platform also highlighted the areas where it uses AI tools and claimed that none of the models have been trained on the public and private posts made by users. The statement was released after several […]
The dam broke and people have started flooding into… or back into in some cases… BlueSky. BlueSky social media Part of that is easy to understand, though the timing is odd. I mean sure, X is effectively Truth Social now, but it has been trending that was for months and has pretty much been there […]
La red social Bluesky se ha convertido en la receptora del xodo de artistas como Guillermo Del Toro o Barbra Streisand que han abandonado X desde que el expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump venciera a la demcrata Kamala Harris el pasado 5 de noviembre. “A partir de ahora, todos los comentarios que publique estarn en Bluesky”, […]
