twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

there have been good explanations from the team in the past that are framed around discovered bugs (like in this case), but the book pub metaphor is really accessible

this thread is the best communication for me so far on how all of the parts of the protocol and clients work together (and sometimes against each other)

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 1d

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Heather Buchel @heather-buchel.com · 1d

I don't think a piece of mail has made me so giddy to open in like, idk years. Thanks @jennschiffer.com

Several pieces of art and stickers laying on cardboard shipping material, mainly a large airbrushed jack-o-lantern against a blue sky with spooky ghosts around it, and a pixel drawing of a woman with blue hair and pink lips' the rest of her face is obscured

Ada Palmer @adapalmer.bsky.social · 1d

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

anyway i already talked enough about the platform for free a couple months ago in this thread

jenn schiffer 🕷️🕯️ @jennschiffer.com · Aug 7

as a mastodon user, nothing culturally interesting happens on there. they took too long to make it easier to join and understand, and it cultivated a community of mostly highly technical people who seemingly want to be left alone. if they want the audience bluesky has, they gotta reinvent the brand

403 FORBIDDEN @joshgrant.online · Aug 7

it's much more concerning to look at growth on Mastodon, really. Where are the numbers??

jenn schiffer 🕷️🕯️ @jennschiffer.com · 2d

you know that thing that happens when a large group of people join bluesky and the community tries to set weird unsolicited guard rails and then the funny posts come through parodying the earnest guard rail setters - mastodon does that but leaves out the funny posts part

doing my part to clean up the nest for anyone joining mastodon this week lol. i don’t think you should be on just one platform, but on both if any at all - mastodon has similar but different issues than bsky

please be cool lol
