How do other artists feel about the new overlay indicators? I now see that the play button is probably too much. I'm still trying to find the balance between giving artists the best possibility to present their work without any distractions and giving the users indicators for what's what.

Wdyt?

i like the new indicators but now there’s a big play button over my posts obstructing most of the image

If you’re using the Flashes app, I’ve created a simple feed that only shows posts made via @flashes.blue. It may help to separate the types of posts people are making there vs the rest of Bluesky.

Posts show in chronological order. Thanks to @graze.social for making it super easy and intuitive.

Flashes’ Open Beta kicks off tonight—initially on iOS, with Android coming soon! 🚀

In the meantime, check out Flashes’ sister app, @bluescreen.blue, which has already made its way to the App Store. It’s a video-centric Bluesky client that shares much of its foundation with Flashes.

I could accept everyone becoming dumber if we were also becoming nicer (golden retriever-fication) instead of getting more evil

Stephen King for President! 👀💥
Tariff-inflated prices pass the pain along to consumers, many of whom voted for Trump.
Good job, asshole.

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold.
Think about it.

Why we don´t hear about these massive protests in the news in the Netherlands? I have friends in the States who are scared, have anxiety and feel desperate, let's support them and don't look away 🏳️‍🌈☮️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩
