Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Something I'm seeing a lot of is volunteer service operators moving those services to a different account. I wonder if making it easier to do that would be a good thing to lobby the devs for. 10374

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I was talking to some young friends and I mentioned Brendan Eich. They asked "that's the homophobic guy who made that crypto browser right?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 3275
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Is it just me or has everyone been getting sick way more often? Is it just bias because we let each other know now whereas before no one mentioned it? 12391
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I'm running into problems: I am now at the center of almost everything gardening-related that happens on bluesky. That's probably not the best for anyone. It's definitely not ideal for me. 15906
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Sooo I've been off my meds and didn't realize how much time had passed. About to catch up. 3251
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 04/12/2024ok i haven't been online a lot because i had to uninstall the app from my phone due to notifications. I honestly am not even that busy i just have ADHD and a million tiny tasks that are all more urgent and important than the 3 or 4 things that need to get done to migrate the gardening feed. 11531
Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 29/11/2024Also do not follow those aggregator accounts that post a bunch of stolen pictures of foxes or whatever without any attribution. I've seen a number of those cycle through various identities - they may be just trying to accumulate a lot of followers so they can sell the account to some bad actor. 10675138

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Another long workday today so won't get around to the notifs... but! The US regional feeds are finished and just waiting for a bit of input from me which means we can get things running and move to onboarding Europe in the next couple of days. 4372
Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀Micah @rincewind.run · 25/11/2024the “Elonia Musk” thing rests entirely on “ha ha what if he was a woman” and that is so self-evidently transphobic and misogynistic that I do not understand calling yourself progressive and unironically using it as an insult 18198141659

Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀Maia the 🐝 @maiarose.bsky.social · 23/11/2024never forget what a massive drain means testing is on resources. It's literally cheaper for schools to give everyone free lunch than to figure out who really "needs" it The first thing y'all need to let go of if you're serious about building community is the hangups about "deserving" and "earning" 4332157
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I'm still trying to get a few more of the US feeds working, just as an update. 4314
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 22/11/2024ok im having a really bad day (completely unrelated to anything online) and skyfeed is barely working anyway so im going to leave all those notifications unread and bury my head in the sand for like 24 hours 24873

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 20/11/2024I do also have a feed for US Lawmakers. It happens to be powered by a moderation list so technically you could block or mute all of them at once. Here you go: bsky.app/profile/did:... 061

Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀Daryll Marie @daryllmarie.bsky.social · 19/11/2024🪶🐍🦊🦑 Feeds! I’m aware that contributors’ tagged posts are occasionally not being included in the feeds. Many other feeds seem to be having this issue. Skyfeed/Bluesky weren’t ready for this user influx & I imagine things will be buggy while both continue to adjust. Thanks for your patience! 618614

Please try to be normal, build relationships, tell funny jokes, talk to people like they live next door, say smart things, post pets, block pests/trolls/harassers, but don’t bring the weirdo stuff, we’ve had a mostly nice-ish thing for a while 644155502

Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀marty, @numet.al · 20/11/2024Haven't seen anyone share this, but this feed will show only posts of accounts you follow, no replies, no retweets. With starter packs going like crazy I find it's reasonably easy to follow compared to the raw feed where it can get overwhelming. bsky.app/profile/did:... 55523
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Comment thread on content scrapers. If you want to follow content aggregator accounts, follow the ones who give credit. Account that posts stuff without asking permission or crediting = block. 282

Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/11/2024One nitpick in Eric's thread is that Bluesky does not have instances. Everyone is and always will be on the same network. Migrating away from Bluesky PBLLC would be more like finding a different internet service provider than all moving to a different internet. 172
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help me run regional feeds! I'll be getting in touch with most of you today and tomorrow. Make sure your DMs are open! 6330

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/11/2024So unfortunately I will be offline for most of the day tomorrow. Not fully sure what the hours will be but worst case scenario is 9am-1am (yes potentially a 16 hour day). I was hoping to have everything set up tonight but I would rather wait until Monday when I'll be around if something breaks. 36181
