Use my public feeds to get the content I used to repost in X.

With customisable feeds and lists how much reposting is needed?

It’s a different era when you can create your algo and feed experience (mutes, filtering, inversions).

Your profile has a RSS-feed and can be bridged to Fediverse (e.g. Mastodon).

They still have sync issues?

I had a bad case of non-linear drift of audio three years ago.

"Listening to a podcast is a personal experience. The speakers are in my ears. It can be disturbing or distracting when the audio takes away from the message.

When you don’t find the solution, it’s time to build it."

Hi, I am starting the process of closing the blueskyfeeds.com feed service in early July. I am having difficulty dealing with site outages, issues with the firehose, ballooning cloud operating costs, and blocking users trying to 'stress test' with feeds that store every post (you know who you are).

After a court order by the Turkish government, Bluesky made accounts unavailable for Bluesky users in Turkey this week.

I take a closer look at geographic-based moderation works on Bluesky and atproto, how it can be sidestepped, and much more

In effect Bluesky will be indirectly deciding who gets to be verified, for a large part of the ATProto app user base. Bluesky's selection of trusted verifiers may then be a locus of controversy with possible calls for Bluesky to have a formal policy (like Mozilla's) re who gets to be a verifier 3/

I have a random thought about all of this and Elon. In Walter Isaacson's book (as noted by @davekarpf.bsky.social), he tells the story of Elon constantly going all in. davekarpf.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

[Max] Levchin was at a friend’s bachelor pad hanging out with Musk. Some people were playing a high-stakes game of Texas Hold ‘Em. Although Musk was not a card player, he pulled up to the table. “There were all these nerds and sharpsters who were good at memorizing cards and calculating odds,” Levchin says. “Elon just proceeded to go all in on every hand and lose. Then he would buy more chips and double down. Eventually, after losing many hands, he went all in and won. Then he said “Right, fine, I’m done.” It would be a theme in his life: avoid taking chips off the table; keep risking them.

That would turn out to be a good strategy. (page 86)

aint that the rub. "We want a chronological app with no ads just photos!".
"OK, here you go"
"It's a bit boring".
I'm not sure what the middle ground is, but I like the ethos behind Foto and hoping they find their feet.

Bsky's DAU as measured on the firehose is currently 2.4M

This measures only active users who like/post/follow someone. Paul's number includes people who log into the app/site but do not otherwise engage.

So ~40% of active users do not like/post/follow

Meta’s feed content is just filling the space between ads

Brian Fung @brianfung.me · Jan 3

Meta’s army of AI-powered “users” includes this “fiercely loyal mom” who bills herself as the “realest source for life’s ups and downs.”

The account was created in Sept. 2023, and has more than 1,300 followers (although how many may be fellow bots, who knows?).

A Meta “about AI characters” page that indicates content produced by AI characters may be generated by humans or AI.

A screenshot of a post from the AI-powered Instagram user @himamaliv describing herself as “a fiercely loyal mom who tells it like it is.”

Ed Conway goes looking for materials we have run out of—and retires the series after one post, because he can't find any.

Hang on, are there ANY lost minerals?

I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that the answer is: probably not
