We learned a lot over the past several days, and I promise we will take what we have learned to make Spoutible better. We identified bottlenecks that can be improved, but we also identified ways to improve engagement.

A month ago, people said the same thing about Bluesky when we didn't have any apps. We will not rush out an iOS app or any feature because of Threads. If a user wants to leave because our iOS app hasn't been released yet, then that person was never going to stay anyway.

Mary Bloch @AroundblockkcI’m afraid if you don’t get an IOS app soon, you will lose too many people to Threads.09:42 AM - Jul 06, 2023

SFDB @SFDBThis is actually the second try for Threads. The first launch crashed and burned in 2021.

Twitter may have just had its worst weekend ever, technically speaking. In response to a series of server emergencies, Elon Musk, the Twitter owner and self-professed free-speech “absolutist,” decided to limit how many tweets people can view, and how they can view them.

BREAKING—
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been KICKED OUT of the so-called Freedom Caucus following an internal vote.
The straw that broke the camel's back was apparently Marge's feud on the House Floor with Lauren Boebert.

Bluesky pausing new sign-ups is now putting additional strain on us.
02:50 PM - Jul 02, 2023
To be clear, besides Bluesky, I support the other Twitter alternatives. Of course, I want people to use Spoutible, but I hope the others will succeed. The reason why I am not supporting Bluesky is because I have seen how Jack treats marginalized communities. Bluesky will be just as toxic as Twitter.

Sorry, we switched back to the old timeline. Some people saw the identical ten spouts over again. We must debug and determine why because it works fine on our staging server.

I know Spoutible isn't perfect, but look at what we have accomplished as a community in just seven months. Spoutible went from an idea discussed on Twitter, to a platform we all can proud of. The Spoutible community is a force to be reckoned with, and we are just getting started.

As a cloud guy aware of the coding and infrastructure requirements to pull this off - color me impressed @cbouzy 👏
Y’all have much to be proud of! And we’re grateful to have a civil online community where we can enjoy each other again.
It’s been a long time 🙏🏽

Tristan Snell @tristansnellBREAKING: The real reason for Twitter adopting “rate limits” and view limits is that Twitter stopped paying for its Google Cloud hosting — and the service period ended June 30.06:19 AM - Jul 02, 2023
So it’s totally unclear how you’re even going to read this tweet.

Traffic here has exploded since Elon broke Twitter. I am so glad we had months to prepare.
06:41 AM - Jul 02, 2023
Trolls on Twitter tried to talk negatively about Spoutible but it didn't work because no one could see their tweets. I am not joking.
06:48 AM - Jul 02, 2023
In the near future maybe, but not long-term. If Elon didn't severely restrict API access, companies wouldn't have to scrape the data. We will have public API endpoints soon, that would make scraping pointless.

It is a truth of the internet that Kpop stans are undefeated. I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyWe got a huge influx of K-pop users and teens overnight. This has been an adjustment for older users, but everyone is welcome here as long as they follow the rules. Having a diverse community is important to Spoutible's growth. That said, we have identified ways to improve everyone's experience.06:11 AM - Jul 02, 2023
