Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

I might've gone a little overboard, but here's 3,500 words on social media, how to make it better, what's so awesome about Bluesky's protocol, and why I'm particularly excited about @leaflet.pub as showing the future of publishing. (Plus some feature suggestions to make Leaflet damn near perfect.)

Happy Birthday @pdsls.dev

finally figured out how to self-host @slices.network!

gonna figure out OAuth even if it kills me which it might

that "us gov" modlist has over 100k block subscriptions

"The error shows AIP is expecting a valid multibase-encoded Ed25519 key, but the script is generating random base64, encoding it again, and just prepending 'z', which doesn't create a valid key." adventures with claude lol

it's a block party

Rudy's work is why I always liked "appview" and thought it was a perfectly fine term it's a different perspective, or "view," of the same underlying network

I am enjoying the people trying to make sense of the bluesky machine's inner workings for the first time congrats, you're an atproto dev now this is mostly what we do pdsls to your left, kuba's label scanner to your right

"You have no choice but to apologize" "I will continue to use 'wireback' and 'clanker-with-a-hard-r' thank you very much" "It's problematic that the relay reads from a PDS without its consent" check your carbon monoxide detectors, folks

real "bird in the lunchroom" energy on here right now

hell yeah

ah yeah my boy Giuseppe is back on the TL

I remember seeing a custom feed on here that populated itself by searching against a Wikipedia moderation regex that consisted of "overused meme phrases" Called something like "Rule 741" I can't find it now. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I would like to wander around on this

You could try a poster’s strike. I hear that works

genuinely fascinated by people who watched the Twitter implosion up close say "enough about your protocol, we want that exact same power dynamic replicated on Bluesky" if all you want is "Twitter 2" you guarantee what happened to Twitter 1 will happen again

going to try and get @slices.network running locally over the next hour do I know any rust or deno? absolutely not will that stop me? again, absolutely not

I don't know anything about this game but the quotes are really good

only way I'd ever work at a social media startup is if you, like, took a loved one of mine hostage

What if you don’t like butterflies? The great thing about an open network is that anyone can build on top and customize it! Maybe you like birds more. Well, someone could build BirdSky, and you could switch to using that and still have the same friends, still see the same posts.

More broadly, regardless of how we moderate, we know that we’ll be unable to create the perfect environment for everyone. While we will try our best, we don’t want people to feel forced to live with our decisions. From custom algorithms to composable moderation, we're designing for user choice.

The way to build a resilient forum for public conversation that lasts for the long-term is to build it on an open protocol, like the web itself. Services like websites can be built on top, but each can be run differently, and if users can easily move it keeps services accountable to users.

just another day in the echo chamber app where everybody is in agreement on everything

is there a good explainer out there for the Ruby Central stuff for somebody not very familiar with the ecosystem?

we can just do things

not sure how widely known this is, but on bskycharts I also track the number of accounts with a given @recordcollector.edavis.dev label tangled, leaflet, streamplace, and anisota are currently the most used atproto apps outside of bluesky see full history: bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/b...

might be my new favorite shot

didn't hedgehog.us-west.host.bsky.network return HTML for certain endpoints at one point? never as an official thing, but as an experiment anybody remember this?

whole video was mesmerizing and somehow by the end you're like "ah, blue divided by 10, good call"

with all the discussion around mod actions recently, I thought it would be interesting to start tracking the rate at which @moderation.bsky.app applies the top labels bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/b...

Just a draft, but a very exciting draft to have www.ietf.org/archive/id/d...

he's so damn good in it
