Thanks to everyone who came out to make this launch a success! Special shout-outs to our @bayme.sh friends for tracking the balloon to Pinnacles after we lost LOS and the @noisebridge.bsky.social folks listening at home! Next up: scenic park hike to recover the payload? #spacebridge #meshtastic

i don't understand how to teach making things simple. it's like people have this built-in resistance to it, i have no idea how to get underneath that. i just paired with someone on something and we deleted probably about 75% of the code and then it was good. why is everything like this

IMHO: Because Likes are (unavoidably) public data on Bluesky, there should be a Likes tab on our profiles as a reminder. Not enough to warn people during onboarding. Friction can be a good thing in many cases but this isn't one of them. Likes feeling private but being public is a UX footgun.
