I wish people would make their own websites again! A personal page, fandom page, a space to showcase their creations and hobbies. Sure, not everyone needs to be a webdev wizard, a WIX or Squarespace page is fine, but I miss surfing the web seeing others' spaces and not just a linktree of socials

we really need more social media features that allow people to exist in-between the binaries of “public” and “private”

i want to be accessible and findable, but sometimes would prefer if people outside a certain sphere (or those in other spheres!) would be less likely to see what i post

It's funny that nowadays any really serious hobby eventually leads to you using and mastering spreadsheets.

kinda unforch that gen a/i has made it so that the internet is just completely filled with garbage now. Like, even if all gen a/i were to stop existing right this very instant, there's still so. much. garbage. all over the place

On Bluesky, if you @ someone it just treats it like a normal post…on Twitter it would only show up for people who follow both you and the person you @‘d.
God I keep forgetting that at replies work different here….

Genuinely wild how much the internet 15 years ago felt like a frontier and now feels like those terminals you get in video games with a couple of pages to give you the illusion of an explorable internet, like in cyberpunk 77. Just fully fucked the whole thing up

we launched labeling and Ozone back in march 2024. there have been many ups and downs, and I think all of us are still learning.

been getting more directed feedback from a few folks recently, want to summarize my own thinking on labels system in a thread. 🧵

as of this week, when you verify your account by updating your username from a default like emily.bsky.social to your website @emilyliu.me, your former bsky.social username is reserved for you automatically (and prevents impersonators from claiming it). you can revert back to it at anytime

Just tuned in and heard @pfrazee.com mention that now when you change your .bsky.social to a custom domain handle it will reserve your old .bsky.social handle for you!

This is one of those features that slipped through the cracks for way too long. Glad the team finally got to it!

🙏🙏🙏

Since many people don’t seem to know about this: add the Mentions feed to filter and only see replies to you. bsky.app/profile/did:... cc @angus.bsky.social Posts only is useful for the same reason.

Just realized I could add accounts to lists without also following them.

Great for my breaking news list. I can include everything and not have some of the accounts I was unsure about filling up my primary feed !

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

Hello, I've officially moved the Content Scrapers blocklist to its own dedicated account.

The old list will stay for the time being, but you'll need to manually re-subscribe to the new list if you want to stay up to date with the latest additions to the blocklist.

ART THEFT LABELER
@arttheft.bsky.social

This has the potential to make bsky so much nicer for artists and help eliminate customers from being scammed by fake artists

Let me show you how it works ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We're rolling out some "quality of life" improvements to the app this week

One of them already shipped on the Web app. The 📌 replies* are now sorted to the bottom of a thread, so they don't block out the conversation

* These are a way to bookmark posts via the bsky.app/profile/jaz.... feed
