· Nov 21
If anyone wants to know why I keep testing SMM tools & what my goals are: I have no control over when Meta/Facebook will error out on any tool.
It’s already happened to one, it’s my account alone, not the tool, & Meta has ZERO customer support at this point.
Options & backups on backups.

This thread is where I started testing setting up new accounts with various PDSs.
Blacksky, Tophhie and Madebydanny do not require you to have an invite or use Bluesky to start the setup process.
I have requested invites / access to a few of the private PDSs but that isn't going to be for everyone

blacksky.community absolutely works without taking you to / through Bluesky.
Set up @testingitwith.myatproto.social which doesn't (yet) let me tag it but adding the @ symbol because I'm not sure if it's just too new.

Tested:
- Muted an account with an existing DM chat & message came through fine.
- Muted an account without any existing DM chat & a new message also came through fine.
Muting accounts at this time does not affect DMs.

Thinking out loud:
if someone posts entirely news, they don’t post alt text which makes it impossible for me to properly filter them, but I don’t want to unfollow them (local journalist)…
I’ve muted them, added them to a list & that list is (unmuted) as an rss feed.
Does muting mute DMs too tho?

Publer for the same video now... I need to test it with mp4 instead of mov like I said I would before. And check my file size since these tools might not be doing any compression.

Testing an upload of tall grass again to see what happens with the compression. And hopefully this will look less pixelated and is what "fixed video quality on the web" meant. 😎

I ended up with rate limit exceeded for the first time in awhile. I probably should have tested with this account instead AND I clearly need an alt account or two for me as a person.

Finding it interesting that using different tools gets you different shaped video posts of the same content.
One platform renders as a square, another as a landscape oriented rectangle when in fact the file (and when opened full screen) is portrait oriented rectangle.

I'll continue to poke at the video tomorrow with more advanced tools. And also retry some of the SMM tools. Wondering if a few may have issues with .mov vs .mp4.
My normal test file is an mp4.

This was uploaded from the iphone - going to test this same file a few ways. Via computer, a few SMM tools and also some additional resolutions to see if compressing on the computer first helps it at all.
It’s light jacket weather out so afternoon walk in nature it is today

Looking for the alt text … got language … got content warning … I have to ask the dev ... It’s not actually an adult photo… not even bourbon this time.

Hilarious side effect of my tests is that I forgot some of my settings for using replies to posts with the links on bluesky are used as comments on my site (at least I have my site set to not auto-approve those comments.)
