You're not going to stop us from calling out anti-black behavior on here. Keep trying though. Let everyone see exactly where you stand and how comfortable you are there.

Exactly. They do know. And at this point, continuing to give the team the benefit of the doubt is a red flag.

Toni Morrison said that racism is about forcing Black people (and everyone else targeted) to waste time proving ourselves instead of being ourselves. That’s the issue on this platform. Who gets to spend time being themselves, and who has to spend time proving we deserve to be here?

Again, i find it hard to believe this problem was by accident

Love it when I go to check out a problematic account and they have me blocked first Thanks babes ❤️

Finally started on a personal website, but ended up knee deep in svg art and animation instead Why am I like this?

The team showed everyone exactly who they are by protecting Alice. The question now is what are people going to do about it. Shrug and post cats and ass?

I don't have all the pieces yet, so y'all correct me if I'm mistaken. It feels weird to blur out the person's name who fantasized seeing Aveta pushed off a cliff. It's bad enough not to ban Alice, but it's wild to protect her.

alright folks, the app code is now public https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

#BlackSky, please chime in with care and empathy

Ok so what’s the benefits and power of SQL? Someone please show their nerd moment with me

Now that alt text is visible to sighted users, it's a good time to plug @alt-text.bsky.social. Tag the bot in a reply to a post that has one or more images without alt text, and then the bot uses OCR to extract the text and reply with the OCR'd text as alt text. (This only works for images of text.)

Sending warm hugs to everyone dealing with something today. It's ok to express yourself here, talk about depression, anxiety, etc. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. 💙

Making Bluesky be accessible from early on is going to be important. I was happy to see that "alt text" is enabled for images, but it appears not to be a norm that people use it. Hopefully, Bluesky will eventually include reminders/nudges, but until then, we can all help remind each other.

I feel the same way After being the only woman and only person of color in all of my workplaces, it was wonderful to connect with so many people who were like me as well with people from various backgrounds I miss the old Twitter. But I am hoping we'll find that again

Sky crew! Posting over here that I’m looking for new SWE opportunities. My background has been in React and Typescript and would love to connect if you’re hiring. ❤️

It seems like everyone is looking for new opportunities and I’m excited to see how the BlueSky community shows up for all of us 🥹 I’m also looking for a new gig in the Product Space so if your company is hiring please reach out! 🫶🏾

Wow not Jerry Springer too One of the most fun team outings I ever had was to a Jerry Springer Show taping. It was a wild and weird as you'd imagine. Good times

“it takes two” is the best game for couples i’ve ever played. if you’ve played it, can you recommend other games for couples that are equally as good?

My 5 year old just informed me that pepperoni is made of pepper, NOT meat. The more you know

Say the compliment out loud. I have some coworkers I really dig working with. I think that every time we do projects. So SAY it. “I really enjoy working with you! We always get it done and it’s always super collaborative!” Don’t just THINK the compliment. Say it. Then tell their boss.

Git blame but for BlueSky invites
