You might have know that Discord is requiring all users to go into invasive face cans or providing identification. I know that people will not be comfortable with this. https://bsky.app/profile/wari...

When Sakurasora launches, we will have our own TOS as we won't be relying on Bluesky's relay (we may launch our own or use Blacksky's relay.

We will have our own TOS, similar to what we are using on Mastodon and Misskey servers, and won't have any of the controversial decisions from Bluesky's.

For the past day, you may notice the AniBlogTracker having issues fetching post. We made some fixes so that the fetcher script uses requests instead of doing the feed retrieval using feedparser.

Made some simple fixes, and hopefully it will be more reliable in fetching new posts.
