#atprotodev one our own is being faced with some hardship and if you can help I would appreciate it. SweetBee contains the best qualities of a highgly engage community member and has been building tooling for her community of peers. Context /🧵

RE: @attie.ai This sucks. And I don't mean the actual product--I haven't used it. My main concern isn't AI (though I'll get to that) Bluesky should not run a feed building platform. We should decouple, as much as possible, the social platform from the algorithms they run on. 🧵

THIS IS NOT A JOKE. Feed platforms need your help today. Server costs are high and prices are rising. If you enjoy custom feeds like Urbanism+ then please donate. These services are what powers your favorite feeds and their futures are being threatened. Or donate because you hate Attie 🔥

Adding a Portland Urbanism feed. bsky.app/profile/did:... This is a simple mashup of @fema.monster excellent Urbanism+ custom node and my Portland Ore custom node. et voila! Thanks @graze.social! #feeddev #graze #pdx #urbanism

Sadly, a driver kills a pedestrian every 72 minutes in this country. So, it’s very important to stay alert while driving, stop for pedestrians at crosswalks, & don’t assume pedestrians only cross at crosswalks. It's also very important to have a DOT that uses Safe Systems instead of Victim Blaming.

Thank you! What to do next: 1. Ban right turn on red 2. Stripe crosswalks on all sides of intersections 3. Eliminate slip lanes 4. Narrow lanes to reduce design speeds 5. Install raised crosswalks and bulb outs 6. Additional traffic calming near schools, parks and businesses like speed humps

If you are excited to try @attie.ai (and I know many of you are mad as wasps for some unknown reason), may I suggest you take a look at @graze.social which does today--without an invite--what Attie promises to do. #feeddev #graze #attie #attieai

I think it's important to recognize one of the most valuable elements for building effective algorithms within a decentralized social media platform. Community. What makes apps like @graze.social such powerful community tools for ATproto isn't the tools or interface, but the people behind it. 🧵

The Near You Feed: Bringing you the finest locally sourced posts in the Atmosphere

If you're interested in hearing the chatter about LA Metro's decision on one of the region's most important public transit projects (K Line North), then follow my feed! 🚇 Urbanism - Los Angeles!

a second wheel, in this economy?

Really enjoying this - was hoping that someone would do it :)

The middle seat on an airplane is the absolute worst. My thoughts are you're entitled to both arm rests. Assert your dominance.

A first of its kind on @bsky.app This is a beta test of a feed that allows people to use voluntary location labels to build a feed of posts from people in your home city of @minneapolismn.gov Test it out #minneapolis then let @richferro.com and @fema.monster know what you think!

This is something that I believe is the first of its kind on Bluesky. This is a beta test of a feed that @fema.monster and I have been working on that allows people to use voluntary location labels to build a feed of posts from people in your home city. Test it out and let us know what you think!

Thanks to some amazing work from @fema.monster, the ATlas (@atls.city) location labeler now has support for @blackskyweb.xyz, @transrights.northsky.social, and Langit! I just tried out posting on Blacksky and the results are seamless.

I agree that politically transit agencies need fares, but these other fare justifications are unpersuasive. Reasons matter. The #waroncars is about gaining and using political power. We know the technocratic answers, anti-car advocates need to go further. politicsofcars.beehiiv.com/p/the-politi...

It's been years since I've played a classic JRPG and my little brain forgot autosave isn't a thing (I guess I figured Star Ocean First Departure R, a remake would have added that QoL) So yeah goodbye to a few hours of playtime.

It hurts lowish income folks particularly hard. Poor people drive less than everyone else though, so the costs are borne by poor people less. But they also have less money. But you can't get everything with carrots. Sticks are useful too.

Yeah high gas prices are not good. Which isn't to say that gas shouldn't be $10/gal, but under car-dependency (key word, dependency) this hurts low income folks particularly hard and does nothing to actually reduce car usage from folks who don't have viable alternatives. 🧵

U+ FYP is running again! If you haven't checked it out, you should! And please give it a like, that really helps discoverability! Feedback is very welcome.

Ok everyone, U+ FYP is back up and pulling in new posts again! It was unfortunate it went down right after launch but it's here!

instead of letting these hide in my nodes or the @graze.social discord, i finally made a leaflet in my blog for feeds! you can comment here or in leaflet with requests, but i'll try to just add as i help folks out too.

Hey y'all! This has been a long time coming. Introducing Urbanism+ FYP This is a personalized feed that I think strikes a great balance of showing your mutual's posts and discovering new content. The same logic of U+ Live/Trending is used here to give this feed a pool of posts to serve up. 🧵

They did design LA for cars. Streetcars, that is.

i picked a great week to get into vibecoding but at least i have something to show for it 🎉🎉🎉 my lil project ➡️ @enneagram.blue lets you select your type, sub type and wing

A fellow cyclist joined the team @urbanism.plus @bikesky.social Neat

Calling on academics and PhD students and anyone who knows PhD students — Thanks to @graze.social we are now using the personalized 'for you' sorting! I’m also open to other changes to better connect us. What feels missing? Anything you’d add, remove, change? Thoughts and reposts welcome 🙏🏻

it feels bad to see everyone else able to profit off of selling sex (thinking about heated rivalry, sarah j maas, game of thrones, euphoria etc.) when avenues for online sex work get more restrictive every month.

For You, For Everyone: we're thrilled to announce that our feed personalization engine is now live — and fully open source. Read our @leaflet.pub announcement below, or follow the 🧵:

the cool thing about motonormativity is that if you ask any driver if it's good to have a car running in a closed garage they'll say "of course not because of the exhaust fumes", but "where do the exhaust fumes go when the car is Outside?" is not usually pondered

Are these steel bollards of children creepy, yes. Are they doing their job, also yes. As always. The children are the front line in pedestrianized safety.

hahahaha fema continues to not pay the man

Motorists in cities create barriers for people. They move with a sense of entitlement and intimidate even when being respectful. This brilliant campaign from Quebec shows exactly what it takes to get motorists to actually yield. We have to prioritize human lives and safety over vehicular momentum.

Set your location and view your mutuals! Easily create custom local feeds on @graze.social (well, the user base needs to grow for the true potential!) View live posts in your city on an interactive map! Create events! And more! BETA. 🧵

If only local media outlets got as excited about stuff like this as they do abt e-scooter injuries

And the streetcar is electric. Wichita Falls, Texas, 1927.

Denizens of Bluesky, residents of #Portland / #PDX, your attention, please. A really good friend who moved to Portland and rented a place there needs help REAL SOON. Any ideas and/or resources and/or help and/or ANYTHING? Please reply in the quoted post below. *Thank you.* #PDXSky #PortlandSky

i love my mom but im not moving back in ever. are u kidding me i have all this freedom, my own money, responsibility...actually no that kinda sucks. and my ass is broke too eh fuck it this is a good plan

dunno who the artist is but thank you this is exactly what this legend deserves

the term originated from design of physical objects and systems, but it applies to the internet as well! #UniversalDesign #DisabiityJustice

I'm required to share all flare references.

Speed limiters for cars do not necessarily mean more surveillance but for the record it is literally inhumane to think a three ton lethal metal box deserves more privacy about its location than a human tapping into a transit system

I had a knee replacement so I can't walk on the ice. Which means I can't hit the beg button. Which means I can't cross the street @arlingtondes.bsky.social - we should turn beg buttons off (Ie have ped signals automatically come on) until the beg buttons are accessible

I want to sincerely thank @graze.social for hosting my #SBLX feed today as well as @bsky.app's team for giving access to the new "Live" feature. On no other platform can a community member build the algorithm for an event as big as the Super Bowl, so to be a part of this moment feels truly special.

It's time... #BenitoBowl

Gametime baby! We're thrilled to support @richferro.com in running the Superbowl LX feed on @bsky.app today! But wait, there's more! 🧵

i get more enjoyment out of these people when they're trying to maga rap so this amuses me less obligatory fuck tom macdonad
