man look I get it, spotify bad or whatever -- i, too, have shelves full of records and more band t-shirts than normal pieces of clothing -- but wrapped owns and until everyone gets a last.fm account and it's 2010 again i'm not going to complain about people sharing things they're into

maybe a hot take, but society pushing people into getting degrees is bad actually Over-saturation of degrees has made them practically worthless, and if my experience taught me anything, I barely learnt anything from university and I still got the highest possible grade.

I'm getting a lot of AI-generated reply spam in my mentions, if you read replies to my posts, you probably want to subscribe to this mute list: bsky.app/profile/retr...

Newsky pro tip: certain content can be chosen to be hidden (or shown if that's more your thing) if you're an adult and find it shows up too much / not enough on your feeds Go to bsky.app/moderation (and if you post anything like this- tag it yourself you'll be doing everyone a favour)

embarassing

this looks like it's now available to most people on desktop!

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

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 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Bluesky stuns in new App Store ranking

a wild post appears!

I'm not doing no follower intro post you will have to dig thru my lore like dis is a fromsoft game

Now that this app is becoming more popular, there has unfortunately been an influx of right wing accounts I highly recommend subscribing to this blocklist if you want to avoid this type of content bsky.app/profile/did:...

Spreading the word about this community-run label system that lets you filter AI images like any other moderation toggle, so you can either minimize or totally hide it from your timeline bsky.app/profile/aimo...

Alright, looks like I'm staying here for the long run, seems pretty convincing with the amount of interactions a lot of posts get and the ongoing constant migration from That Platform to here.

Twitter (X) will reportedly no longer let users opt out of letting their tweets be used to train their AI system — Grok Goes into effect November 15

I'm comparing popular posts with BlueSky vs Twitter and I'm convinced that 90% of Twitter's "banger tweets" are just paid bots, while all the engagement on here is genuine. Makes sense though because over on Twitter you'll see the worst tweets reach numbers up to 500k for no real reason.

A little guide to help artists properly post their art in Bluesky! #tutorial

i was wondering why none of the jp/kr artists i followed recently were showing up in my feeds and it's because of this -_- ... turned it off and now everything's showing up 😬

PSA for ENG-speaking folks looking to discover JP/KR/CN accounts and having difficulty—🦋discovery settings have a sandboxing feature that defaults to languages enabled on your phone. change that by going to Settings > Basics > Languages > Content Languages and select the ones your want (or none/all)

update: half a million new people in the last day 🤯 welcome, いらっしゃいませ, 환영, bem-vindo! 🦋🎉

👋 Bluesky is an open social network that gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience. We're so excited to have you here! We share Bluesky updates & news from this account. A quick orientation thread: 🧵✨

just a reminder that you can download videos from bluesky with cobalt.tools

Hey new Bluesky users: this website has no centralized algorithm. If you think it seems dead in here, it's absolutely not. However, you are going to have to follow more people than you did on Twitter to see a lot of action in your Home feed.

checking twt and seeing ppl like “i dont want to use poo sky” is the reason why mfs let elon musk step on them like a roach

will people actually start using this or nah

Even without gifs and vids I still feel more of an incentive to open Bluesky than this Lmao

New users, you have to follow WAY more people here for an active timeline than you did on Twitter. If this place feels dead, you’re almost certainly not following enough other users. There’s no centralized algorithm that just puts stuff in front of you - although you can subscribe to feeds.

To all the new users coming over from Twitter, allow me to be the first to say, ░M░Y░ ░P░U░S░S░Y░ ░I░N░ ░B░I░O░

holy shit this still exists also hello new people

do people still prefer this over fediverse
