in the middle of trying to do actual work, i did this. partly because i was frustrated with actual work (until i wasn't!), & partly because i needed to do a painting test for some upcoming work (mainly to time myself so i have a rough idea of what to charge later on).

anyway look at my bunny wiener

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

so now link is suspended with no email

link pointing out that jay now follows jonathan chait and suggesting that it may be for transphobic reasons

seems like running a separate appview is the heavy part after all if you don't have the bandwidth and disk space for it. oof

I migrated to one of the Blacksky servers for better moderation and account security. It only took a few minutes and I did it on my phone, plus it all works in the native BSKY app. And I became a monthly subscriber to support work that makes things better for everyone. Thanks @sharpiepls.com !!

dapurplesharpie @sharpiepls.com · 5d

you can migrate to blacksky

non-black users have the choice of "myatproto.social" or "cryptoanarchy.network" handles

I just don’t know where else to go? Won’t do Meta, and won’t do X. Guess I could try Mastodon again, don’t want to if I can help it.

Footsteps in the dark

Illustration of a blue bunny getting nervous out alone in the woods at night. It can feel that it’s being watched, as red paw prints of an unseen creature follow and encircle it.

deleting *this* post is such incredible "put it in the paper that i'm not mad" energy—it doesn't even tag Jay. i'm so serious: deeply cooked website

been beating my head against the wall for days on a commission because i want it to be Really Good (the brief is something outside my normal scope) & finally got (what i think is) a good way of approaching it, which feels a lot better than getting carried away with a warmup again (as i did, again,)

With all the talk of waffles, this seems a good time to repost this. Short version - account portability exists.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 12d

Big win. Now you can leave Bluesky AND return to their servers if you wanted to.

Folks who migrated to blacksky.app, myatproto.social, and cryptoanarchy.network were taking a leap of faith move over to servers hosted by Blacksky Algorithms.

Hopefully this de-risks things for folks.

daniel 🫠 @dholms.xyz · 12d

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back!

hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network!

we're working on a big website update and newsletter to accompany it that should make it, uh, easier to onboard, we'll say (currently hoping to get that in by the end of the month), but we are actually open for business already if you don't mind a bit of directional assistance in the meantime

hey anyways totally unrelated to the current staff meltdown on here, we're in the process of revitalizing Website League (believe it or not it is our 1 year anniversary already; we've been active that whole time) and now is actually a great time to get involved

The Website League

The Website League: it's like a confederation of independent websites in here.
