🤔 this would be kinda useful… even for private lists, it might make sense to not hide some group of users completely, but just be able to have a badge that tells you "watch out"

There's a Brazilian pronouns labeller, Harry Potter sorting hat labeller, Zodiac signs, furry fursona labeller 🐺, and a few others that are unclear to me blue.mackuba.eu/labellers/

Hmm… apparently a pretty large part of the processing time (like double-digit %) is spent just looking up a referenced record to set quote id or thread root id field… and I think SQLite might be using a wrong index again ಠ_ಠ
I'll see if I can force it to behave and if this improves things…
Or, alternatively… add support to Skyfall for streaming from Jaz's Jetstream instead, and then I could possibly skip the queue/workers part 🤔

If you're running some kind of service that got overwhelmed with traffic this week, you might want to look into this (especially if you only need some subset of content like only accounts) ⬇️

Would anyone have a use for a third "Only Posts" feed variant that's just your follows' normal posts chronologically without reposts and without replies? (I read today that someone was using a SkyFeed version of this and that it was down for a bit this week)

Ok I'm gonna try to move blue.mackuba.eu to the new faster/bigger server today - might be some temporary feed slowdowns/downtime, but I'll try to do this smoothly 🤞
It's crazy how I'm still regularly seeing people randomly recommending one of those two feeds (Follows & Replies and Only Replies) to one another, looks like I managed to make something really useful here…

Something I've just noticed too, Brazilians are not only very actively using .com.br domains, but also several different "handle services" like swifties.social etc. - I need to make some kind of list/ranking of those

Ok, so we have: 🇧🇷
President @lula.com.br
His party @pt.org.br
Ministry @anatel.gov.br
Sup. Court @stf.jus.br

Looks like Lula's party also has an account here with a custom domain (org.br): @pt.org.br
🤯🤯🤯
Guys it's happening, we made it - the president of a 200-million country has a custom domain on Bluesky 😳😳
We're so back

@jamesog I only remember pain and confusion :p
@manton Would it be possible to make links in posts also be added here as facet links in the Bluesky record? Because this gets posted as just normal text that says "Craig Hockenberry's slop is good pairs well..." which… sounds kind of confusing :)

"People are desperate for something better. People hate censorship, shadow-banning, “the algorithm.” Twitter is full of hate speech. The Trust & Safety team was gutted. Bad actors were reinstated in the name of free speech."
Aren't these kind of two opposite goals though 😅 more vs. less moderation?

@manton I feel like it has gone downhill sometime in the last year or so? It used to just show me stuff I follow in annoyingly random order plus ads. Now it shows me… something I never asked for? Just like Instagram.
@jglypt No pressure Jerry, first we have 8 years of Kamala
@jglypt … Jack. What if you switched us to a completely different timeline? On that old timeline, Dorsey doesn't leave the board until 2025. Masnick never joins it. Bluesky eventually goes bankrupt. @jcsalterego.bsky.social can't use his account running for president in '32 against Zuckerberg and Zuck wins…
@jglypt And there's a funny story about one of them - it was started in 1975 but only finished a few years ago (!) - it was left as an unfinished skeleton for decades and kind of became a well known piece of the landscape like this. And everyone called it "Skeletor" (szkieletor) 💀😃
@jglypt Yeah 😅 But they do look nice, I wish we had more skyscrapers here. Warsaw has a bunch, Krakow has basically two that are around 100m.
@jglypt No I think it's just reusing this setting because if someone doesn't want to get Bluesky DMs then they probably don't want to get these DMs either
@jglypt It's apparently pulling the DM setting from Bluesky to apply the same access level (even though it doesn't use Bluesky's DM system):
@jglypt Yeah it should just show handles
6) clicked new chat, typed "jglypt" in the search to look up @jglypt.net, I got 3 Jacks, but not sure which is which. there are only green and red dots. I click the one with the green dot, and… nothing happens. this is where I gave up 😅
@jglypt 3) "no thanks" button does nothing
4) submitting the login without copying the seed phrase, the spinner spins and then the button "errors", but doesn't show any error message. something went wrong but I don't even know what.
5) refresh the page - apparently I am actually logged in??
@jglypt Ok :) so:
1) login: email: what email? email for a new chat account or my email on Bluesky? can I use my handle instead? (I entered the handle and it seems to have worked)
2) ok, now a seed phrase. clicked "register", tried to select and copy the seed phrase, but I can't select it.
