Casey, what's going on?

Well, I have really changed my feelings about blue sky in the past week.

Yeah?

You know, before last week, I have to admit, while I did use it and I did occasionally see stuff on there that I thought was really funny or interesting, The feed was so political that I had just sort of written it off as not for me.

But then something really powerful happened, Kevin.

What's that?

Which is that my following doubled in four days.

Mine too. I got like a weird number of followers.

I mean, something is happening.

There is something in the water.

And what I think is funny about it, Kevin, is that my own experience reminded me how truly

small-minded and petty we are about these social networks, because we will speak in such

lofty terms about, well, you know, here's

kind of the vibe of the site. And well, this one, you know, suppresses political content.

And, you know, oh, I hate all the ads over there. At the end of the day, it is how many followers

do I have and how many little internet points did I get for making my little quip? And wherever

the number is the highest, that is where you will find me.

And that is all to say, please follow me on blue sky.

I'm Kevin Ruse, a tech columnist at the New York Times.

I'm Casey Nude from Platformer.

And this is hard for it.

This week, the future of the internet could look very different next year.
