One happy realization over the past day of wins is that this site can be a place where political magic happens. This comes as a shock to folks on other sites who say we are in a filter bubble. Makes it all the more important that non-billionare controlled spaces exist. Media diversity matters.

"Right now it's on my m4 Mac Mini connected to my residential home uplink that only has a upload speed of 40 mbit/s (small b.)" I swear half of ATProto runs on people's home computers 😛

Started a topic on the #atproto community discourse about PLC abuse and filtering for mirrors. Running a mirror? It would be great to hear from you! It will help to inform the evolution of the PLC as we look to improve this core part of the network discourse.atprotocol.community/t/plc-filter...

The second best time to leave Twitter is now

OK, this fixes it for me bsky.app/profile/mack...

You might have seen me posting about a tool called Lycan I've been building in Skythread for searching text in all the posts you've ever liked on Bluesky. It's now publicly available, you can start the import from the "Archive search" page in Skythread and then search once it's finished 🐺 #atdev

This is art

Woww, nice @anirudh.fi! 👏

Mastodon 4.5 is out! A few big things in this release: 1) quotes!! 2) they… finally fixed missing replies?! if you open an RTd post in the timeline, it seems to be loading all replies from the original server and they appear after a while 😳 3) normal looking native emoji 😄

Not too shabby

Lol these bastards are gonna buy Google next :D

Interesting, I didn't know there were that many different ATProto blogging platforms in the works :) exciting times! This also sounds very promising:

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?” Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

It seems Trump will stop at nothing in his quest to turn the White House into a suburban Warsaw wedding reception venue.

Ok, #ATProto PDS question. I have to put "com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos" behind a redirect (AWS API Gateway does not support HTTP and WS for a single domain). I understand the spec says maybe, maybe not. But does anyone know if the important existing relays will work with this?

New Target ad in 3, 2, 1…

I strongly encourage developers to use tangled.org and follow @tangled.org It's a great way of helping Bluesky projects gain more visibility, support, and help grow the dev community A lot of future Bluesky growth will come from third-party projects, tangled will help with that

Having only one account to interact with both horny sick fucks and ATProto sick fucks is the defining Bluesky experience

The Bluesky team hired their first DevRels 🎉 If you are a software developer, interested in @bsky.app APIs, tool, and services - follow @jimray.bsky.team 🦋💙

Grrrrr 😡

Welp

this is the region of the planet that @anisota.net is being built within, in case it wasn’t obvious or if you were just wondering

I’m looking for a job - thanks for sharing ❤️

One of the best ways to get blocked here is to suggest that you don't like being blocked, trust me I know

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not. They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly). news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4580...

Oh, the weather outside is frightful... ❄️ Soon 🎄

I got myself a ukulele ❤️ Any ukulele fans in here? Would love some resources to learn :)

Yeah it seems to me that the effect was that people have seen that it's really hard to run something like this in a sustainable way, and that no other team* dared to try, because it feels like something that needs to be done very seriously and professionally or not at all?… * does Blacksky count?

Swift was introduced over 10 years ago. Promising better software quality due to the extensive static type checks, optional checking, etc over Objective-C. Given the scope of the effort, surely the overall quality of the software in the Apple ecosystem should have improved significantly. Right? […]

They're also very successful at reducing replies in general ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so of course, the fewer total replies there are, the fewer toxic replies we'll have… But do we want a social network where everyone is just broadcasting into the void?…

Kit update! She's okay. It was in fact an abscess on her butt, which I know we can all relate to. Doc says she should recover fine and that she will feel immediately better, though she is going to have to wear the cone of shame. We are very relieved. Will go pick her up soon.

Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform. Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Wow, this looks shockingly good for Poland… wind and solar 14% each?! 👀 (via www.instagram.com/wiechography/) "Unimaginable 5 years ago; % of energy from coal went down by 35 points in 10 years" - Wiech

Oh wow, interesting 👀

The plcbundle server has built-in experimental websocket support - if anything doesn't work as it should, or you have an idea for improvement, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Bring it on, things can't get any worse than they are, can they… 🏢💥🦖

This is deeply sad, journalistically. Teen Vogue has done much brave political coverage in an age when few outlets are willing.
