Stellt euch vor, wir werden durch KI-Video-Overdosing dem Anblick all der überladenen CGI-Effekte überdrüssig (weil: kann ja jetzt jeder) und daher nerven Star Wars, Marvel und das ganze Genre einfach nur noch visuell. Aus! Niemand will das mehr!
Und ganz plötzlich zählen Story, Acting und Regie!

I see this argument made all the time and it's embarrassing for CCDH to keep making it, because it's a lie. Section 230, what they're talking about, does not give anyone a "get out of jail free" card. It simply puts the liability on the party who actually engaged in the violative behavior.

Contact import has always been the most effective way to find people you know on a social app, but it's also been poorly implemented or abused by platforms. We weren't willing to accept that risk, so we developed a fundamentally more secure approach that protects your data.

We’re launching Find Friends, a contact import feature that helps you find people you know on Bluesky.
Try it! In the mobile app, go to Settings → Find friends from contacts.
Read how we took a more secure approach to this than other platforms: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

I'm really proud of the team for this one. For years, we debated how to do this feature safely. It would've been so easy to say "just ship it" and ignore the security concerns, but we didn't. We waited until we had a good answer.

If you want to make a copy of the entire Bluesky network (or some subset of it, or some other app built on atproto), Tap is now the best way do do it. I hope this will enable more people do do, for example, interesting social network analysis research
finally landed it!
Tap is your all-in-one sync tool for the Atmosphere: webhooks, backfill, filtering, signaling collections, no cbor/msts/signatures/cursors. this thing's got it all!
give it a go and let me know what you think & if you run into any issues

wow tap & quickslice in the same day. there's never been a better time to sync the atmosphere
My crazy idea to cram all of the AT Protocol into a single deployable container. Works with SQLite, Postgres and potentially more data stores in the future. Steps are literally deploy container -> import your lexicons -> backfill -> build your app with the GraphQL APIs.
