PSA: If you see a post from Mastodon bridged to Bluesky and reply to it, that reply will only make it over the bridge if you also follow @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky. That's literally all that's needed to make it so each side can stay in their own app happily, but without it your responses might not […]

To make your Bluesky posts available to folks on Mastodon, all you need to do is follow @ap.brid.gy - If you do that, others who do the same on the Mastodon side will be able to reply, like, repost, etc like normal and neither side needs to use the other app at all. Please give that a try!

Even though I have switched to Mastodon I don't want to lose connections with the folks I have met here, so I set up a bridge. Follow this account if you're not on Mastodon but still would like to keep in touch and/or see what I am up to: @skillstopractice.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

Finished that convo - here's what would restore trust. 1) Public disclosure of the rumored January 2025 funding round that had a $700 million valuation. 2) A public business plan. 3) Something rolled out that makes money. 4) Legally+financially sound steps that shield protocol development.

Ruby + Rails : Distilled is moving to Mastodon. Just getting set up over there but you'll find the account here: ruby.social/@distilled I will set up bridging when I can, not sure if I will do crossposting though. If you're set up with @ap.brid.gy here I can still share your posts that way.

Open letter to @why.bsky.team regarding Bluesky revenue model risks + potential mitigations. We've discussed some of this over DM and will continue to be available so, and the notes within it reflect my own take on things only but hopefully clarify. notes.skillstopractice.com/updates/2025...
