Jay here: this is a transition I've been working towards for awhile, and I'm looking forward to advancing the vision and ecosystem as CIO (Chief Innovation Officer). Toni has been an advisor to us for years, and I personally recruited him to take over as CEO while I focus on new projects within the company. It's an honor to have him on board to lead us into this next stage of growth.

Question about Bluesky and Persona integration. As i understand there are plans to delegate government id verifications to Persona? (https://withpersona.com)

Any confirmation? Comments?

Why did you deliberately steal Mastodon’s thunder? Why don’t you support ActivityPub?

What thunder? Mastodon has had nearly a decade to go mainstream and it's still mostly tech enthusiasts explaining to their friends what an 'instance' is. ActivityPub is fine if you enjoy your identity being held hostage by whatever random server admin decides to keep the lights on. Want to move servers? Hope you're cool with losing your followers. Want real account portability? Too bad. Want scalable search and flexi…

With ActivityPub you have to build... actual relationships with people (yes also those that do the work and walk the walk!)

I know that for Twitter-brained people this is considered an anti-feature (and yes account mobility is an issue), but a PITA to use it really is not

Twitter's main problem wasn't the network, but fElon Musk running amok.

It was the censorship. Which isn't gone, but is way less restrictive than it was. And I've actually started seeing bangers (auto) translated from Japanese, French, Spanish, and Portuguese lately, which is fantastic. I don't really want an English hivemind. I want to see what the whole world thinks. It's kinda fantastic tbh.

If you think censorship is gone, try to talk about Israel's apartheid in Palestine and see how far you get.

What are you talking about? X is full of this shit, how can you claim that this gets censored when it is EVERYWHERE?

Again, the ranking from Apple is from today . Not "a couple months ago". And again, it's #1 while reddit is #4. So which is incorrect, Apple, or Wikipedia? It has to be one of them. >Also, why would it be "wishful thinking"? Because you've Motte & Balley'd twice now, each time in the direction of downplaying X's success. Because X is objectively doing great. #1st place is objectively great. >BTW, on US iOS App Store,…

Putting a lot of weight on a single data point there. How does Apple even choose the top apps? Why assume it’s some reliable metric for use?

The discussion is about trends, and the most recent datapoint shows it at a point of primacy when the argument was it was in decline two years ago. Clearly that claim was incorrect.

Show the class where you talked about it on X and it didn't get censored.

Is the new blocking age verification page the kind of innovation we should expect from BlueSky?

I don't know why people have to be like this. Are you not capable of asking the question without the aggressive snark? Just be cool for a second and maybe you'll get an actual conversation where you learn something.

I live in a country where this is not a legal requirement. Yet my account was blocked due to no birthdate.

This makes me have zero respect for those who volunteer to go the extra mile in the implementation of repressive laws.

Counterpoint - its a legal requirement in several parts of the world now (and rapidly expanding), how do you think they should handle it whilst you know...still being able to exist?

It's not a legal requirement in my country. Thus they are volunteering to go extra mile in the implementation of the repressive laws.

I think they should resist as much as possible. Yes it was a legal requirement to gas the Jews and it was illegal to hide them.

Who do we cheer now? Those who abided to the law or those who broke it?
