Migrated to my PDS this morning thanks to @baileytownsend.dev's pdsmoover.com. I was way more comfortable doing so after @bsky.app opened inbound migrations incase I change my mind later.

Now everything I post lives in a Raspberry Pi in my living room.

I recommend creating a publication for these instead of regular docs. Will make things easier for you.

Genuinely curious, do you have a link to it? I'd like to check it out.

I understand your logic, but "...we don’t act on off-platform evidence when investigating reports." is pretty clear.

"...we don’t act on off-platform evidence when investigating reports."

Seemed pretty straightforward to me

Doesn't seem to be a way to get to a feed we saved. Also, BookSky Vids, which I've never saved, is stuck in my liked feeds in Skylight.

That's a fan account though. The account I mentioned is the real domain-verified account, and so is @embark-studios.com

Also, @storacha.network gave me peace-of-mind with bsky.storage in case things went sideways.

An upstream network problem has been impacting almost all Bluesky network services for the past 3-4 hours. Posting and other public interactions are disrupted for many accounts.

As connectivity recovers, the firehose and other services will see large surges of events.

For me, I'd rather stick with the same thickness we're at now for the sake of fitting a larger battery in there.

I get decent battery life on my 9 Pro but would be fine adding a mm or two for more mAh.

Any mention of @reachthefinals.com is a win to me

Nick @nick.mcmanus.tech · 19d

I submitted the bug for this only yesterday and someone already implemented a fix! This was driving me crazy for the longest time.

So someone sends a threat cause of an adjunct's opinion online, and Rider fires her? All cause she said she didn't care he got shot? Party of free speech apparently.
