How would you want a “popular links” feed personalized to you? What should it show more or less of as you use it? Thinking through a bunch of options but figure i should poll the room

Bluesky is just not as decentralized as they claim. All severs must go through a "central" relay so all the events can be correlated to each other. Mastodon uses another well established protocol, ActivityPub which is truly decentralized due to how it works.

The fact that China doesn't like people switching to Bluesky seems like another sign that it's a great thing

It's been a week since I started price tracking various Walmart items across the US. The data just refreshed today and I see milk prices have been raised across stores. How much of that is due to normal activity or Trump is yet to be seen: grafana.0x01.host/d/fe4bnkjop3...

About 50 users have connected their DGG account with Bluesky and have thus been added to my custom feed. Some have opted out to be shown on the feed but it is growing. Tell more people about it and get them so sign up for it. bsky.app/profile/did:... Sign up: bsky.notacult.website

So apparently my issues with posts showing up on the verified dgg user feed have resolved themselves. It seems that I have caught up to the "live" feed and posts are added much qucker. The CPU usage of the feed generator is really low right now because I don't have to go through all remaining items

Hello Bluesky! I am a NY based photographer hobbyist. I use photos as a way to document my travels and hiking adventures around the world. I recently visited Switzerland and caught this photo during a hike around the Matterhorn. Insta: @kaixgraph #matterhorn #travel #photography #epic

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook) www.semafor.com/article/11/2...
Chinese state media is reportedly troubled by the latest exodus of X users flocking to Bluesky. State outlets, which put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on Elon Musk’s social media platform — including by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers — have recently seen their growth plateau.

The growing popularity of Bluesky, which has a largely liberal base and harder-to-manipulate algorithm, has sparked “worried chatter within Chinese state media circles,” a former Xinhua and China Daily employee wrote in his newsletter. He predicted the accounts will migrate to Bluesky, though it may take time. For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

New: Musk's X filed a highly unusual objection in The Onion's bid to buy InfoWars, arguing that X has “superior ownership” of all accounts on X and shouldn't be given to The Onion. A stark reminder you do not own your social media accounts, political move www.404media.co/xs-objection...

For those of you wondering why it takes so long for your posts to show up on the verified dgg user feed: I am reading the Bluesky firehose and am going through ~1000 commits per second. Every time I am querying the DB for posts that contain your DIDs (your globally unique user id) 1/?

Planning to add a simple form of moderation for the verified dgg user feed. The banned property will just hide your posts from the custom feed. This is just future proofing in case @cake.sh or @destiny.gg would want to moderate the custom feed. #dgg #dggl #daliban

Remember, the whole point of activism is to translate, ultimately, into policy. And policy is determined by lawmakers, who depend on your vote to get elected. Nothing else matters if you don't participate in the system.
