Oh this is exciting. I've just heard that John Mastodon himself is going to make a rare public announcement to welcome the latest wave of arrivals from #Bluesky.

Hi Bluesky! 👋 #datascience, broadly defined, like network science, computational social science, geospatial data science.
A reference to this GitHub blog post has come at me a few different ways, eg:

Yep. 40M BlueSky users are tired of Twitter's ragebaiting & Threads isn't much different from Elon's hell. Mastodon is wonderful as well, albeit very alternative.

Cross posting to BlueSky
The reason why people left to Bluesky or never started on Mastodon in the first place is that it still feels like a clunky web app from 2015 (and native phone apps are broken in many waysj, plus being brigaded by the HOAs here is exactly a fun and welcoming experience.

9 months ago I had no plans to even try out Bluesky, because it was extremely centralized. Now, with Blacksky and others, I'm not so sure. https://privacy.thenexus.today/can-we-please-stop-arguing-about-whether-bluesky-is-decentralized/
What’s Where?
In this blog, I mostly post things on which I have an opinion, or perhaps a discussion that I want to start or continue. I also have a blog at where I'll post more of the daily activity type of stuff, although I certainly do not post to it daily! I also have a micro.blog account at the contents of which get federated around very platforms, such as Mastadon, BlueSky and Threads. I'm currently building a photography website at So, have a wander around, and,…

So many dickish posts from people “welcoming” Bluesky users while making “how could you not see this coming” jokes etc.
Really the very reason why one wouldn’t want to be on mastodon on full display.
It’s also just fake and mainly self indulgence because non of the fediverse graphs actually shows even any significant uptick in active users.
I’m flat out stealing this from someone on BlueSky because fukkin a-men:

Today I looked up at one of those early October brilliant blue skies that grace New York.
One might say that I looked up from my phone, from the other kind of Bluesky which feeds me all the madness of the world.
These days I’m trying keep both skies balancing each other with a practice of writing back to the social media posts I encounter.
From sky to screen to sky. It’s a form of play that helps me reclaim my attention and connect to my sense of being.

I wish that you could edit a post on Mastodon and have it reflected on Bluesky.
The clunkiness and issues like broken replies makes Mastodon unsuitable for many basic social network things, like having near realtime conversations.
It’s fine for what I use it for, which is ranting about the tech industry, but my main activity is on Bluesky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More than 2 million people across Italy rallied in over 100 cities Friday for a one-day general strike to support the residents of Gaza and a humanitarian aid mission, Italy’s largest union said.
Italian unions proclaimed the strike after the Global Sumud Flotilla that was trying to break Israel’s naval blockade to deliver aid to Gaza was intercepted by Israeli naval forces Wednesday night.
Protests and demonstrations have sprung up all over Europe and globally since then,

BlueSky and LinkedIn fail to fetch the featured image for posts on axbom.com (my English site) but does it with no issues for posts on axbom.se (my Swedish site).
From my perspective they are set up in exactly the same way (Ghost sites). My estimate is that this started happening more than a month ago and I have no idea why.
«at this point, AT Proto has become essentially a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform.
