Taking an extended break from Bluesky to reconfigure, reup my health + happiness. Reactivating this acc so that I don't lose access to my PDS. (One of the downsides of a single server, I'm discovering). May post occasionally from project alts but otherwise bb4n 👋

My YouTube subs: a broad mix of news and current affairs, music and art streams, home gardening ideas, longform interviews, philosophical explorations, book and film reviews, comedy clips, tech tutorials… Just finished the Sarah Paine lectures. YouTube: Bro watch these 137 Atrioc clips!!!

"Embrace Frictions to Protect Attention" Working on a ✌️simple✌️ process to guide network gardening, differentiate people I connect with from accounts I graze, and make more-informed choices with tools like @labeler.hailey.at ty @aka.dad for the idea. Might be fun to experiment with a UI.

@psingletary.com Welcome back! 👋

Jungle always wins 🏆 youtu.be/YFMrzvJlmF8?...

@penpot.app is free and @laurakalbag.bsky.social training content is superb. What is the question?

*unless Irish, then buckle up, you’re about to make friends for life

I can't search my notifications but to whoever recommended witchsky.app to me a little while ago, my person, thank you 🙏 🧙‍♀️ @jollywhoppers.com 🐈‍⬛ My feeds are cleansed

Very satisfying seeing @rollingstone.com getting roundly ripped in the comments for this garbage eulogy of a racist bigot.

@lewis.moe this is an insane amount of work you've done in a month. The pds is looking really good tangled.org/lewis.moe/bs...

It’s fucking wild that Zelensky’s previous job was “comedic actor”.

As a both a promo and monetisation instrument, torrenting music under @creativecommons.bsky.social is net positive compared to Spotify. If @bandcamp.com were smart, they could change the market, but they’re too comfy in their mom and pop position, so they must be disrupted. @comet.sh @plyr.fm

@bsky.app creating Starter Packs sucks more than it needs to. I want to make a pack of only feeds: I have to add 7 accounts first (which I intend to remove) and now I find I can only add 3 feeds? Why? 🤦‍♂️

When I started taking bsky seriously, I had about 5K followers here compared to my then 30K on twt, and despite still having "less" here by comparison, I get consistently more commissions, interest, and continued support here than on twt, with far less punishment for marketing myself. (+)

Reupping a 🧵 from this summer: This product is supposedly about conversations, but it's missing a key feature which highlights the interactions we've had The most useful tab I could have when viewing your profile is a timeline focused on *our* conversations: quotes, replies, reposts, likes, etc.

A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one… A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

@eccentric.ity.org FYI, @japan-cambot.bsky.social is being muted (I feel unfairly) by mod lists. I think it's possible to appeal it.

We all reach a point in life where we must accept a hard truth: Sometimes we are wrong. Growth means listening, reflecting, and having the courage to admit when our opinions were flawed. Anyway, after deep self-reflection, I now believe Nutella absolutely needs butter underneath it.

pdsls.dev probably most effective tool at getting people excited about atproto. seeing is believing

100%. The WAFFLES post was extremely rude but the word "waffles" alone would never raise a 🚩 flag in an automated system. Rudeness isn't only about being mean or aggro. Its disregarding reasonable expectations for respectful interaction in a given context. "WAFFLES" failed on multiple levels.

Very much like this.

Happy Christmas all Wanted to come on and let you know we’re aware of the content saving bug and will address it first thing after the holidays. Sorry for the holdup but family first 😽💖 While we’re here, a reminder on how you can get 🛟 Help with your Lanyard 👇

@ias0na.bsky.social yo! We knew each other back in Brighton. Hey Jason 👋👋

After some recent bad experiences, thinking about principles to guide my usage and behaviour on Bluesky: 1. Embrace frictions to protect attention 2. Follow intentionally, unfollow ruthlessly 3. Curate for depth 4. Engage when constructive 5. Use networks instrumentally 6. Maintain Dunbar's number

youtu.be/QHOQ9lkfh9k?... WTF you mean? Millennial hip hop *IS* Christmas music

@pirate.ie your site is a treasure trove

One of my favourite people in the whole world. I only just found out she died in recent days and I’ll miss her forever. 🖤

but somehow Tiny Tim returned

God jul, nästa år vänder vi kampen mot fascismen till seger!

I am made of meat, and fragile as wet cake. #plusTime

I want to smash everything (except the stuff I like) #Curatoclast

There are 4 categories of #AI product: – Make things with AI – Detect that things were made by AI – Conceal that things were made by AI – Fix things that were broken by AI

just be web browser 💢

even though Bluesky is open-source and more customizable, UX-wise, it inherited some hostile and addictive patterns of Twitter. slot-machine pull-to-refresh mechanic, infinite scroll, 300 characters... @leaflet.pub and @anisota.net are less likely to have these issues imho

Hide follower counts.

We've all grown so much since then

This is the first time ever appearing and @psingletary.com I hold you entirely responsible 🤣

You guys are getting paid?

I love how my cursor 2025 wrapped is just peaking out on the launches of new models when they’re free for a week 😭

Inspired by @byarielm.fyi 's design, here's my draft concept for a universal #ATmosphere Account Creation + Sign-In flow. Focused on the simplest #UX , not visual design. Sign up to onlyJerrys.social 👉 www.figma.com/proto/s8JCug... Add constructive feedback + questions to the prototype 🙏 RT 🔁

Happy Christmas Science! #ATscience 🧪 #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿

@chipnick.com 's talk at @eurosky.social was superb. It came late in the day and you could feel the energy surge while they spoke. #AtmosphereConf better approve :)

Y’all know we have a tool for finding exactly these kinds of bad redactions, right? free.law/open-source-...

Yes. This is what we need. Action. Thanks @byarielm.fyi “design is thinking, made visual”
