As fog blanketed Seattle, @Knibbs waited to meet Jay Graber—CEO of @Bluesky. Fittingly, just before she arrived, the skies cleared. It felt poetic. Her name, Lantian, means “blue sky” in Mandarin. And her mission? Clear the smog from social media. wired.com/story/big-intervie…

Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet

All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

Today we're thrilled to announce that our interim CEO Toni Schneider will be stepping into the role permanently. “The appetite for social experiences on the internet is vast, far broader than the handful of apps the major platforms offer today," said @tonidotorg. "I believe the Atmosphere will grow to hundreds of millions of users, hundreds of thousands of apps and communities, and many thousands of thriving businesses, and I want to help make that happen.” You can read more on Toni’s blog. toni.org/?p=7434

Staying in the game

I’m four months into my interim CEO role at Bluesky, and it’s time for an update. Most importantly, as of today, the interim part of the title is gone. I’m loving the mission and …

We keep on shipping. v1.122 is out, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. The build also allows everyone to go live on @youtube, @substack or @beehiiv, a new split view in the chat UI, a rebuilt GIF picker, refreshed photo viewer, and expanded moderation labels.

The link penalty is real. Publishers are realizing that, on X, their posts don't drive traffic. On Bluesky, followers see everything you post - links and all xitter.cf/Techmeme/status/204625…

FYI: We're now omitting links in @Techmeme tweets. Why? 1. Links limit reach (see embedded study) 2. The cost for posting links using X's API increased today by 1900%. Links may return later, but we're still exploring how we might accomplish that.

"Why are you still posting here?" Because the people who’d enjoy Bluesky haven’t all heard about it yet

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.
