For #authors who are just joining Bluesky:
There are a number of writing feeds set up that you can add to your feeds. They each have their own rules for what shows up there so check the feed descriptions. I'll comment some of the ones I'm aware of below!

My latest at Wired is up discussing the recent crises at Bluesky and Reddit, and what it says about content moderation.
I received comment from Bluesky's press office and analyse their reply here.
But, in short, balancing top-down and bottom-up moderation is hard; both sites are getting it wrong.

It's Twilight of the Mods for Bluesky and Reddit
Moderating a site isn't easy—just ask Elon. But Bluesky and Reddit are contrasting examples of how not to do it.

Hey Skybrarians, ALA issued a statement about the nonsense in Montana without actually supporting their president Emily Drabinski. Not great! Here's a support letter you can sign on to.

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it's because we're waiting for an adequate trust and safety statement on anti-Black racism.
If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

I would be very happy if Bluesky became the alt-weekly of the social publishing landscape. Just a small, never-profitable operation populated by queers, lunatics, and semi-charming cranks whose rants you can always skip. Mostly I mean it should recognize that letting sex workers advertise equals $$$
