Even as @safety.bsky.app is staffing up - I would like to remind everyone that this is a *decentralized network*. We should not want the same level of *centralized enforcement* as others. Yes bluesky moderation helps massively to control your experience, but it is not the only method on here.

There is support for secondary labelers, block lists, etc that allow you to actively shape your network as you see fit. I understand they are under pressure right now, but I don’t want to see the default moderation settings creating an “echo chamber” when it is so easy add further moderation on top

Been playing around with Astral’s uv tool, and I’m convinced that it should be an immediate install if you use Python at all. Blazing fast, replaces close to a dozen tools, integrates well into existing workflows. Highly recommend - it can even bootstrap Python itself for you if it isn’t downloaded.

@atproto.com following post seems to show a bug? Creating a link tied to a post where there isn’t one in the message text. There is a a “… users. As …”, but there is a space before the dot.

A large part of the reason is user base – which approximates the number of susceptible attack targets on a platform. Until recently, bsky had just half a million users. As users flood in, so will bots & spam that stress the system. Atproto has a great design, but it hasn’t been tested like X.

So many replies missing the motivation behind federated social media… to remove central control and not allow governments to infringe on speech - even objectionable speech Crimes like these should be investigated - those calling for Telegram/X to be shutdown for “misinformation” have lost the plot

@atproto.com how do I extract my Private DID Recovery Key out of Bluesky? Figured it would be an easy export for safekeeping offline given the focus on account mobility, but I can’t find the option in the app.

Joined w/ interest in atproto as a dev. Initial notes: - UI/UX is smooth & well designed - Social graph is still in early stages - Recommendations improved remarkably after a few follows/likes - Apparent leftist slant in political content on the network Curious to see growth after the Brazil wave.

You are up to date.
