Admins: Can RealGM add a Bluesky button for posts?
I hope this is the proper way to ask this question.
The Bluesky social network is emerging as a useful place for NBA and Celtics news. There are buttons available on RealGM to link posts and video clips for Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram.
Can a Bluesky button be added to those? It would be helpful in seamlessly adding info from that growing website.
Here's a link to Noa Dalzell's Bluesky page. She's as good as anyone covering the team and has recently become active there.

Here's another Celtics reporter, Cameron Tabatabaie on the site:

--- I originally posted this over on the Celtics board, which is why it's team-centric. The thread was moved over here. I hope the powers that be can make this happen. Thanks.

Re: Mods: Can RealGM add a Bluesky button for posts?
Gant, I left your post visible on the C's board but moved it to Feedback and Suggestions forum. I don't know the answer and I think it's more of an admin question than a mod question. There are RGM admins (and mods) who monitor the suggestions forum, and if anyone can help with this, it's them. I'd like to see this happen myself. Cheers.

Thanks. I saw that it was moved to the appropriate place, which I did not know existed. I'm glad you also left it on the Celtics board, because Bluesky is pretty cool and others here might want to take a peek at it.
I added that final sentence after it was moved. There are a number of general NBA writers starting to be active on the site, in addition to those following specific teams.
Here's a few of the NBA writers active on the site:

Yes, the migration from Twitter/X to Bluesky is a real thing. We need that incorporated here asap.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I look forward to that. It will make linking their stuff over here easier. NBA Bluesky has grown noticeably just since I started this thread a week ago.
Some heavy hitters are starting to post there, and the Golden State Warriors have just opened their official team account:

Yup. It happened fast but it's arrived. Sports media has migrated over and Twitter is now a ghost town.

Co-signed. I came here to ask this.
BTW, the Raptors, and almost all of their social media "influencers" are now on Bluesky, and the numbers are growing every day.

Bluesky user stats: https://vqv.app/stats/
The site is now approaching 29 million users and growing very fast. The sports content is growing along with that userbase. It would be good for both RealGM and Bluesky if a button for posting information from that site was added.

Re: Admins: Can RealGM add a Bluesky button for posts?
sub reddits are banning Twitter links. Not saying I want that but it would be great to have a Blue Sky button as a lot of people are abandoning X and moving to BlueSky.
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.
Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Any update on this? If it's even being worked on? It's extremely needed.

It's over 30 million now.

The NBA has opened an official account on Bluesky. They haven't posted anything as of this moment.
They also didn't announce anything about it, but despite that they picked up 10,000 followers in a day.

Re: Admins: Can RealGM add a Bluesky button for posts?
I agree that bluesky should be added, or better yet replace, the X button on RealGM.
The Current Affairs board now has more hyperlinks to bluesky than embeds of X, and following the hyperlinks has become a bit of a burden.

In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind

33 million users. This request took less than 24 hours to fulfill on another site I go to.

I'd also like to give BlueSky a try. RealGM is pretty much the only message board I still use.
