Hmmmmm... ...If people don't call me a troll after my next Voresky update, I don't know what will.

My shark boy got shrunk and eaten by big cat @colton-armstrong.bsky.social on @voresky.app, fortunately he is in a good mood and just wanted to hold him for awhile!

Hahaha fuck.

Closing in around 30 hours! Reposting this cause I'm the first person to forget about deadlines in comm openings :,D

ESPECIALLY 👏 do NOT 👏 use it 👏 to make 👏 NSFW art👏 of other people's fursonas 👏 WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT 👏

Alright. PSA: I'm already very on the fence about gen-AI image slop on Voresky, but if you're using it to impersonate someone else's OC, you're gone. Like, double strike. Don't impersonate other people's OC. At best that's copyright infringement. At worst that's being a ghoul.

Surgery is in a few hours, and what I've been up to with Voresky seems ready, so might as well push it now. You can now DM people directly from within Voresky. It requires a new set of permissions to do so, but then I think it's the biggest gap that was really left with the app, I think. 1/4

Consent. Is. Everything.

Yeah, if I get a poke from someone I've literally never spoken to before then I am absolutely not going to put any effort into catching them I am not a boner vending machine

Any pred around here wants to give him a "warm" welcome in their guts~ ?

I was a little bit nervous about pushing out an Easter egg like this without changelog, but I wanted to see the reaction of the users. There's been a couple of minor discontentment about it, but most of y'all seem to have loved the surprise! You can disable it in your settings by the way ^^

New blog post up!

And it's done! If you fancied getting caught amonst a group and having to watch and wait as some of them disapear inside the giant naga before you do, shoot him a catch prey request 😉 (There's also a new endo route too for anyone who prefers something more comfy/gentle!)

So far, Voresky feels like the Linux to Gulpr's MacOS

Okay NOW I'll slow down a bit. Getting the symmetrical proposal was itching me so much... I had to get it out. There's still some more gaps I want to fill but... next week now. Surgery is Monday. I'll keep an eye on performance and patch things up if needed, but no more big update for a week.

I have voresky now... for the like 1 person who looks at my posts

Alright, let's see what I'm going to break with this next update...

Okay, unpopular opinion incoming... Making Voresky is _difficult_ with regards to how I need to respect worldwide legislations like the GDPR regarding the handling of data. Many people are confused as to why there's an export function without an import. It's ONLY to comply with some laws. 1/8

Begging literally any of you to have any critical thinking whatsoever. It's so embarrassing how many of you don't understand what "legal obligations" are and are basically demanding that everyone in the UK and Australia and several US states just be completely and 100% cut off from friends.

So......

Would anyone be willing to help me out making a voresky path :3

UX/UI design is really funny. When I started Voresky oh-so-long-ago (about a month ago now...), pokes were literally the first interaction I added, because I just wanted to have something simple in place to test if the notification system was working. They weren't supposed to be useful. 1/9

So I did a thing...

Okay, I retract that. The API works as intended. It's just that they repost so much the actual posts are drowning in the middle. So you CAN use Voresky to sidestep this shadow ban. Clicking on the posts will show them properly at intended.

So I checked the API a bit. Voresky is using Bluesky's AppView to work. I am requesting getAuthorFeed with filter=posts_no_replies to get the normal timeline. For every other accounts I get the full normal timeline. For this one, I only get their reposts. Bluesky's servers is shadowbanning them. 1/3

I also forgot to mention before that I have a Voresky! Mostly just making it aware for anyone that wants to snatch up a little guy voresky.app/vore/c2G8KqY...

OF COURSE I also have to think about a path for those of you who like pawplay. Looking at you, @spiritbrat.bsky.social

Finally taking some time to try and set something up~

In other news... Mrrrhrrmmrmmmrrrrrrr...

New blog post up!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS AMAZING GIFT I GOT! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU IT'S GORGEOUS!

My first path commission is open and available to try out! Thanks to @freydwagon.bsky.social for being the guinea pig for this new kind of commission :3 Don't fill up their balls too fast

If your character profiles use AI art, how do I know your path descriptions aren’t written by AI as well? Don’t think I’ll be interacting with anymore AI art characters. Please don’t make proposals or poke me if you use AI.

If anything, with Voresky, I managed to drastically increase the amount of vore-related art I'm seeing on my timeline... I've even seen artists specifically drawing stuff for their Voresky paths... This makes me so, so happy.

Started a blog on Voresky to start discussing things better about what's going on and where I'm going. Feel free to reply here if you want!

Hahahaha fuck.

Some more thoughts on this one. I went and checked the codebase. I THOUGHT I fully wired up the blocking feature there, turns out I didn't. Sorry. Doing this right now. While it prevents future interactions, it doesn't stop existing ones. That's on me, I missed the mark here. I'll fix it ASAP.

Let's talk about this one, because it feels important. I don't necessarily want to ban people outright, but I want to give more tools to people to address their concerns there. The safeword mechanism seems to have address most of it. Blocking should address the rest, but I need to do better on it.

I feel like this at least needs a bit more attention. Dragonus is a must to avoid, especially since they stalked me for 10 years, wanting to Perma me, and get into an IRL relationship, while not giving me a choice

Bluesky's gif playback mechanism is convoluted as heck... ugh.

My bestest of mates gifted me this, and... awwwwww...

I am overwhelmed by this community's dedication in making me feel better. Thank you so much for this amazing gift. It definitely helps.

CW: IRL pet death. Our beloved cat finally crossed the rainbow bridge. The Russian Blue with the belly scar. Yes, that one. He was a brave warrior and guardian, a loyal friend of almost 16 years. He arrived into my life as a stray, we don't know how old he was exactly. Maybe a bit over a year 1/6

If you want to help reproduce bugs, test fixes or new features, let me know in DM. I can give you an invitation link to the Discord server, where we'll organize and discuss. This isn't going to be a huge public server, and instead only for the people who actively want to help, at least for now. 2/2

We've reached the point where I'm going to need some help with Voresky. The immediate matter is to be able to test bug fixes and new features. Instead of always just pushing to production, I have created a staging environment, and I can invite people to it. I have created a Discord server too. 1/2

In for a penny, in for a pound. Might as well nip this one in the bud. People wanted transparency, Voresky's source code is now available to download with each release at voresky.app/source-code so you can check it up and verify what's going on. I'm bracing for impact on this one, but... Be gentle

GODDAMMIT @fwoofius-taboo.bsky.social I CAN'T EVEN TRY REBALANCING THE WEBSITE WITHOUT YOU GRABBING ME AN- Gfflmbglgfg...

Alright, Google still doesn't want to give me increased Autopilot quota, so I'll need to change strategy for a minute. I'm going to bring up a new cluster, NOT using Autopilot, and I'll tear down the old one. This unfortunately means everyone will get kicked off their login session as I do so.
