Good morning bluesky 😃 Don't forget to take minute to watch your local wildlife today! No, your neighbours don't count.

wake up babe, insane new use for ai (generating absurd yet somehow usable qr codes) just dropped probably one of the few ai-image generation tasks that human artists cannot really do right now https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/141hg9x/controlnet_for_qr_code/

Highly recommend this long read from @meredithmeredith.bsky.social Relevant to AI discussions.

Absolutely. There's this sweet spot of "I can be part of the Big Conversations, but mostly just hang out and post with friends." I think Discord mostly lacks the former part, but nails the latter part, while most other social media is opposite. Hopefully Bluesky nails it.

@support.bsky.team would love your eyes on this when you get a moment! Anti-trans genocidal rhetoric shouldn’t be welcome here.

my god this is just brutal

the trick to not dying of cringe is to always be cringe

I love feeds??? I love how we can segregate our interests but still access them all. So our experience of the platform can be tailored to our mood. Like if we have an activism day we can invest in that but if we need a break we can have a cat day.

Opened up Twitter. Honest to goodness Picture of a Guillotine death threat waiting for all of us who said nice things about supporting trans kids in a long ago tweet. Transphobes have long memories and lists. Reported it and it vanished, but I don't really want to spend time on Twitter any more.

I’m reworking the algorithm on the feed I’ve made to be much fresher, finally getting results that I like. The old but much liked posts problem was driving me nuts as well Should have an update out by end of day

Found out today that not only can you go back to at least 1582 in Stellarium, but they also added in the 10 days that were skipped due to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. I kept going back in time and suddenly saw a big shift in where the stars were. Very cool!

Oregon’s coast has captured my heart 💙

Honestly, I am hoping this will be a space that eliminates bigots and fosters an environment with zero tolerance for racism, sexism, transphobia, fat shaming, etc Why? Bc I really don’t want to fight up here. I do that enough IRL. Did that on Twitter. I want to have a GOOD TIME and make friends

we are here to elevate kindness and dissuade cynicism and hate

Kindness, empathy, compassion are missing online sometimes.

I just plan on blocking bad actors before they are a problem this time. :) When I see people saying hey there is this account I go take a look now. Preventative :)

A custom feed that is smart enough to spot posts only about (music) albums. It excludes playlists and singles — I guess those could also have their own individual custom feeds as well. To experience a thriving albums community on here would be special. 💿

It's not long before we launch BSky Stats to the public. It's been fun for me and Pedro @m3ta.uk to work on this project. We have a thousand ideas but we won't wait to complete them all to put the site up. Gradually we will deploy. You can already have the total number of users through the site.

Shoutout to @crawlor.bsky.social for trying to help me not have to eat in the hallway or bathroom 🤣🤣🤣

Guys since it’s my second day, first full day, I need somewhere to sit for lunch so please let me know if I can sit at your table. I’m trying to plan ahead 😭

There are 2-2.5 million people currently on the Bluesky waitlist.

I come to rave. Today, SPARKS release their 26th album, 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' and I highly recommend listening from start to finish. It's the first to be written after my doc on the legendary Ron & Russell Mael and it made me swell with pride once more.

We're quite aware of what we're doing it and how we are doing it, which does include a team of moderators and an escalation process among other things.

okay i have used my invite to bring more star trek people here, please welcome @thomasthecat.bsky.social

The irony of humans preaching about the sanctity of life while engaging in wars, capital punishment, and reality TV is just too much .

not much more substantive than that. geekery, shitposting, good times, and noodle salad

If yall asking how you can do better by Black people: Listen. Follow. There's plenty of amazing Black voices to listen to. @bellamyj.bsky.social @kimcrayton1.bsky.social @blackamazon.bsky.social @angryblacklady.bsky.social @kyem.bsky.social @prisonculture.bsky.social @lesliemac.bsky.social

When all the ships got trapped in the Red Sea during the Suez Crisis, they sent mail between themselves and beyond. Made their own stamps.

Trans people have a right to exist and participate in society. This shouldn't be controversial.

I haven’t been on the threads where this has been going on but I’m seeing lots of posts about it by ppl I follow. Seriously WTF after all this “anti racist/anti nazi” talk? Can we pls do better to flag bad players (or just not be racist dicks)?? The whole pt was not to be another birdcage?
