Erin Kissane joins Bryan and Adam to talk the new social network "Bluesky" through the lens of her blog post "Blue Skies Over Mastodon". Long-time friends of Oxide and social-media aficionados Time Bray and Steve Klabnik also helped shed light on technical and social aspects of the net network.

Blue Skies Over Mastodon (with Erin Kissane and Tim Bray)

We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from May 1st, 2023.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Erin Kissane and long-time acquaintances of the show Tim Bray and Steve Klabnik.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

Erin's blog post Blue Skies Over Mastodon
Mastodon blog (5/1) A new onboarding experience on Mastodon]
Tim's blog post from November Bye Twitter
"Buy the rumor, sell the news"
Hellthread
"Skeet" is to "Tweet" is to "Toot" (aka "Publish")

Bluesky blog Composable Moderation
Lobsters

So you've been publically shamed by Jon Ronson

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
