also terminology like "Blobs Uploading" should not be anywhere near this page, like yes us nerds know what blobs are. But the general public does not and having stuff on this page that just exacerbates the confusion is bad

I don't really use Threads but I wanted to test the app and its ability to post to more then 2 networks.

2026-04-08 20:29:46 GMT

Testing out an app called Typefully that lets you write threads and cross post them to multiple networks. This post is simultaneously posted to Bluesky, Threads and the fediverse.

If I use the blacksky.community as a client for this account thats on Bluesky's PDS, why does it need to backfill? This is something I am still very confused by.. Is it the client chooses the AppView to "look thru"?

what about updating the webfinger protocol to support DIDs and atmosphere handles on a protocol leval so that this would work without clients or server implementations having to do anything special.

If you do a ton of work on a piece of software and then launch a website for it entirely vibe coded we can tell instantly and it makes the trust in your piece of software much less. If you put the effort in launching a website for something atleast delete the slop emoji

2026-03-30 13:43:06 GMT

God damn ubahn broken again and all the signage is compleatly unhelpful. Also they "translate" a tiny bit to English on the warning signs but not enough to actually help.

hey @[email protected] I just realized my fedi account isn't listed on here blue.mackuba.eu/directory/fedi any idea why that would be?

2026-03-27 22:05:57 GMT

Is there a quick way of seeing how many of my followers have posted in the last year?

2026-03-20 11:11:16 GMT

Why would Bluesky PBC wait almost a full year to announce this 100 million $ VC seed round? The answers they are giving don't make sense.

2026-03-19 13:50:31 GMT

hmm still didn't come thru @[email protected]

2026-03-19 11:45:17 GMT

hey @[email protected] you should add the website link to your profile here and also move your account here to your domain, it will look much better!

2026-03-15 22:22:54 GMT

hey @[email protected] is there a svg of your new logo floating around?

hey @[email protected] is there an svg of the witchsky logo?

2026-03-12 20:50:14 GMT

Hey @[email protected], I think you owe it to the community to make a public statement about your use of Persona.

Hadn't tried bookbuzz till this post. Interesting to see more takes on interacting with physical media. Is this sharing a lexicon with popfeed and if not why not?
#nevent1q…9jsa

2026-03-10 15:59:18 GMT

Listening to @[email protected] talk about how insanely huge @[email protected] is as a social network in their latest podcast. I had no idea. Makes me remember that it might be useful to think of bluesky or the fediverse in terms more like MMOs or whatever that acronym is

2026-03-10 12:36:33 GMT

Pterodactyl would be a great Bluesky/Atmosphere client name...

2026-03-10 10:52:27 GMT

Has there been a case yet where someone moved to an independent PDS and then the PDS went down or blew up and they lost their account?

2026-03-09 23:52:00 GMT

I was excited to try @[email protected] yesterday and was like ohhh right I forgot about that part.

2026-03-06 12:14:06 GMT

hey @[email protected], you did a good job of making some meta discussion pop off about stuff last week, I feel like you weighing in here might be useful!

2026-03-05 21:43:36 GMT

I was part of a little project to introduce some new symbolism into the fediverse, and we started this manifesto that had a pretty significant impact symbol.fediverse.info
A symbol for the fediverse ⁂

2026-03-05 21:38:42 GMT

Really good article by @[email protected] about the politics and semantics of the @ symbol in relation to its use as a signifier of an address or person.

does the atmosphere have a symbol yet? cause its not the butterfly or the @

ohhh interesting they have Yerevan Armenia listed as an address

2026-02-26 20:38:19 GMT

was looking at Zangi messanger download numbers and its impressively high for how bizarrely bad the screenshots are. anyone know any backstory behind it?

2026-02-24 17:32:51 GMT

Oh this is super nice wow! I don't have a remote storage account can I get a Kosmos one from you to try out your sync? I see you also have nostr listed but it's grayed out. Will you add nostr based sync too?

2026-02-09 22:33:43 GMT

ohh excited to start seeing clients show what PDS you are on, that will bring an interesting fediverse flavored dynamic to the table

2026-02-08 12:05:39 GMT

if you're looking at a code repo and trying to decide if the project is legit or not and all the commits are commented as "fixes" and "wip" is that a red flag?

2026-02-07 16:00:10 GMT

the fact that bluesky doesn't have j/k keyboard navigation on desktop throws me off every damn time

2026-01-27 17:18:32 GMT

having an OG preview seems like low hanging fruit. And this is an image, but it's at a URL called watch.sprk and says something about share video when I copied the link

really sick of go.bsky.app/redirect?u= can we just have like real links please. also this shit makes loading a link take twice as long as it should most of the time

2026-01-23 23:29:31 GMT

Seeing @[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected] all within arms reach, almost like some sort of centralization!

2026-01-23 23:02:30 GMT

Gotta say @[email protected] this was some great writing you have done. I hope everyone at Bluesky PBC is reading this time cause I think you spelled it out exactly right.

2026-01-23 22:56:35 GMT

"Bluesky’s Community Guidelines emerged from a moderation paradigm that moderates content (its called content moderation for a reason), and has a structural blind spot for presence-as-speech. Fascists intuitively understand this difference, and are skilled at exploiting it." 🔥

2026-01-19 19:02:41 GMT

Ok is there an anarchist/antifa PDS I can move my account to yet? Would like to have nothing to do with whatever moderation and verification layer is being run by this here company...

2026-01-18 22:57:16 GMT

So would Bluesky verify Hitler, Bin Laden and Mussolini too if they signed up?

2026-01-16 19:09:56 GMT

I hear the dumb feature of $cashtags has launched in bluesky. I haven't updated this app yet will I see it anyway?

2026-01-12 16:40:02 GMT

looks like now Nostr supports @[email protected] and raw @server.tld usernames which is the first I have seen, maybe we get a convergence

2026-01-12 16:07:42 GMT

ok gotta say the For You feed is really doing an amazing job... if I want it to start learning about more of my interests do I need to just go search for some specific posts aligned with various things and then like them or share them?

2026-01-08 16:01:19 GMT

calling @[email protected] url based vanity DIDs "internet handles" feels icky to me

2026-01-06 21:35:49 GMT

mamdani could use it as a nice reel, shows hes down with deportations now, he supports deporting maduro back to where he came from

2026-01-06 21:32:58 GMT

if maduro is in nyc rn, shouldn't mamdani step in and send him back?

2026-01-06 17:43:57 GMT

I hear @[email protected] is really cool and everyone should follow her

2026-01-06 17:18:29 GMT

hey @[email protected], just upgraded to the latest version and the search doesn't work cause its obscured by the statusbar, just thought I'd report here.

whyyyyy dont Bluesky feeds have drag handles on them its 2026 there is absolutely no reason I have to press up and down arrows to rearrange anything in a list

2026-01-05 13:45:55 GMT

this is really good to see, we really need something like this but for ActivityPub. I guess its similar a bit to @[email protected]'s Fediverse Schema Observatory observatory.cyber.harvard.edu but more focused on a single part.
#nevent1q…fjg0

2026-01-05 13:41:51 GMT

just logging into @[email protected] and see they now have this bluesky profile linked at the bottom. someone there should get their domain verified so they don't need the ugly .bsky.social in their name.

2025-12-25 11:55:07 GMT

Wafrn join.wafrn.net seems like the most decentralized part of Bluesky now that it has so many instances up with open registration

2025-12-25 10:21:32 GMT

The alt text viewer on the bluesky android app is jank af, you can't dismiss it and it covers the bottom slice of the photo so if your looking at a screenshot with something important on the bottom u can't see it.

2025-12-23 14:45:14 GMT

its up to 67 thanks to my post... am I gentrifying berlin by my actions here?

2025-12-22 17:01:21 GMT

the city of berlin has an official bluesky account and it only has 63 followers lol
@[email protected]

2025-12-18 15:42:07 GMT

this seems like something quite easy to shut down, have bluesly pay a few hundred dollars and have all these accounts follow a blank account and then just delete them in mass.
