If you're uncomfortable with Bluesky owning (and being able to delete) your data but don't want to go the whole way to self-hosted/another service, you should: 1) Register identity recovery keys, which will allow you to point your current identity to a new PDS 2) Backup your PDS periodically

I know better than to comment on community guidelines stuff, but there is one thing I want to remind folks: we're all here "stealing" compute and storage from Bluesky, so us indie builders have time to figure out how to break away from them in a sustainable way. This has been the plan all along.

in honor of @riazaia.bsky.social hitting this important milestone*, which one was yours? (*courtesy of Patreon)

We officially published our Gitea/Forgejo character sheets to both our BackerKit and our Kickstarter campaign reward folders! For access to this behind the scene and beyond, subscribe to our Patreon 👇 they'll be there (with insider news 👀) in a few days. (Also 2/5 Patrons got! Be the next one 😉💖)

We'll be here the whole week btw 👀👇

we can fix the whole activitypub animosity towards atproto by making up two gay mascots for both protocols and then making them kiss. this will piss off at least one side enough for them to unite

Folks, I know you all are big fans of Terminal: Spill, his character designer, is raising funds to help with cancer surgery and hospital fees👇 Help us boost their call for help 🙏💖 and if you can donate something, what better way to say thank you for a very sexy grandpa? 🌟👀

We've enabled ao3.js to integrate with any "AO3 software"-based archive, using @katproto.girlonthemoon.xyz's superlove as a testing ground! Still a bunch of work to do for edge cases, but it's working!!! Check out the branch: github.com/FujoWebDev/A... and ofc superlove superlove.sayitditto.net !!

Come join me on Twitch (and now on Streamplace!) and let's add the ability to support multiple archives to AO3.js! Then, we'll do some helping folks with DBs in Astro, and if we have time Guestbook work! - stream.place/essentialran... - www.twitch.tv/essentialran...

You know the "Dark Web"? We need to start our own "Light Web" that has all of the awkward charm of the early Internet and none of the monetization. Leave this one to the birds 'n bots and return in secret to sillier times.
