Shout out to people talking (positively) about Blacksky on other platforms. 🫶🏾

No one ever brings up the centralized slurp power of the bsky relay.
How bsky gets to decide who can and can’t get slurped out here /s

You've heard it from all the other devs but yeah, Blacksky almost doubled in new users, the database is at 100% cpu usage, and total daily visits has eclipsed every other major US news event this year.
Bom dia, Blacksky Brasil 🇧🇷

Feels pretty notable the celebration of Blackness during this year's DNC, regardless of how you feel about the Harris-Walz campaign. And it's been obvious to me how active Blacksky has felt over the last couple nights. That activity is visible in the data too!

And with that, I do believe the Blacksky PDS is mostly complete*.
Will be doing some API tests before trying to deploy and make test accounts, etc.

Home+ died. Aegis Shield died. Taurus Shield died.
For You got a $500K investment and still died.
There are websites dedicated to internet services dying (e.g. [ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com](https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ ))
Here's hoping you support the services you do enjoy (and the people behind them) while they're here.

Smoking dope then writing code, that's geeking while geeking.

"... many scholars direct their followers to Threads and Bluesky instead of Mastodon, with 2% providing Threads information and 6% providing Bluesky information ... making it even more challenging for Mastodon to become a preferred alternative for academic discourse."
All around win for Fedi/AT imo

Every cluster of Bluesky user feels this way about their cluster.
The experiment must be working.

Bluesky mentioned (not news if you read his interview though).

Happy 1 year of the Blacksky feed 🎈. Thanks for 10M views. Thanks for the 100K people who've used the feed. Thanks to the thousands who use the feeds daily. Thanks to the people who share the feed. Even thankful for the press mentions (as long as you spelled the name right).
Shout out to y'all.
