Open social media has a new fan: U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna. The congressman for California's 17th Congressional District appeared on Kara Swisher's "On" podcast last week and talked about Bluesky, @surf, and the importance of being able to construct your own social graph, take your followers where you go, and opt out of algorithms. Here's the full episode:

Asking again: does anyone who edits Wikipedia want to glance over and hit publish on this Blacksky draft?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Blacksky
EDIT!! it's live now thanks to @Szescstopni
And thanks to everyone in the #Fediverse who contributed to this page!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacksky
(now not only is Blacksky, the social media project represented, it's also knocked Blacksky, the US military contractor, out of being the only Blacksky on Wikipedia)
#Fediverse users worked together to make sure #Blacksky has a #Wikipedia page, arising from the need to educate users here about the project, starting in about September last year (https://assemblag.es/@inquiline/115166596826618536 )
I was sort of trying to cheerlead but you-all are who actually built the page! 🙏 ❤️
thanks to @Anne_Delong https://musician.social/@Anne_Delong/115321834133067505 among others.
It's ironic that this page went live right as people are breaking their bridged connections to Bluesky because of ICE getting verified there +
Technical details are largely above my paygrade, but it's interesting that also today, Blacksky is running an appview of its own, per @mcc (linking out to Blacksky's Rudy Frasier)
https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115917963359245981
Maybe there will be a way to stay bridged to Blacksky while remaining (ahem) defederated from Bluesky, from instances over here?
(mcc's 🧵 gives some back story here, and it [the thread not the story] begins in... September of last year)

@Ilka4You @DavidBHimself @Gargron I still have yet to learn how Bsky's supposed to be the *federated* platform they claim to be.
@P__X @Ilka4You @DavidBHimself @Gargron Some say you can host the whole thing on a Raspberry Pi, but I doubt it. I haven't seen many people endorsing or encouraging self-hosting for Bluesky. And really, what's the point if 99% of users are on Bluesky's main servers or using their relay?

Hello user experience, content design, information architecture, UX research, and adjacent professionals 👋 Say hi if interested in the future of online social and/or #atproto. I plan to pilot a few UX office hours sessions for the AT Protocol community, and would like to invite new perspectives in
