yeah i dont think the self-serve or blocklists are enough, but i do think they could be more satisfied by making some "SafeSky" or something where they have more of their own infra and can ban someone from their zone. idk exactly which things they would run but maybe something like it could work

it would be great if wafflegate prompts groups to set up their own atproto infra bc they don't trust the team to moderate anymore. a win-win

bsky team keeps talking about decentralization and everyone zones out like it's math class

then everyone gets mad about centralized moderation decisions

im hopeful that the improved algo feeds, mute lists, etc, will make it a lot better this time

last time there was just a single timeline for the whole site, so everyone *had* to read everyone else's tweets. and that made everyone angry

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage:

- “Invalid Handle” everywhere
- Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow)
- Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow)
- Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff

yes & i think the easiest way is to just keep trying new difficult things. that way you can keep getting good over time and then always starting something else new to keep your humility
