#WSocial state of the network - September 15, 2026 There is a lot of misinformation regarding W Social and how active the network is. So, from time to time, I'd love to share some numbers. This is the beauty of #OpenData 💫 sources: pdsls.dev, clearsky.app, ATproto.at #WSocialPics #WSocialFacts

Yeah that story got penalized. Orange is the front page ranking, black is the ranking it should have given the raw ranking formula with no penalties. HN moderators often apply penalties to news and political stories, even if they are very tech-adjacent. news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=496...

mu.social is brilliant app. I was having issues with bsky.app which seems to have gone down, so just switched content service to Eurosky and it's all back up and running.

Choose the content service that supplies profiles, posts, and most feeds. This kind of service is sometimes called an AppView. This setting applies to every account on this device.
Only use a content service you trust. Different services may return different content and apply different moderation policies.

something i find absolutely exhausting, discussion about this stuff is always so guy-coded, it's all what's most efficient or most impactful, or produces some result or whatever. always the most of something. i don't care about any of that. i enjoy writing code. why do we gotta optimise our output

In an internal Slack message obtained by The Verge, 1Password’s Karimov downplayed the overtly racist comments from DHH, telling staff the following: www.theverge.com/tech/988536/...

Verge quoted text:

As I said, people have different personal opinions. You believe in your heart that DHH is evil, that you have the moral high ground, and that nothing will change your mind.

However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

There are people who are afraid to speak up simply because they will be personally attacked.

When I had my one and only conference paper published on #ACM three years ago, I chose a dedicated email address for the author email. The amount of academic spam on it is almost hilarious. Also half of them are addressing me as Dr or Prof when I'm neither.

It really saddens me how some people cannot differentiate between an artistic choice that might not “make sense” and AI slop that is total nonsense and something an artist would never do. Canonical inaccuracy is absolutely a choice or even an accident that an artist could make lol.

One thing I keep noticing while using bsky.app (or mu.social and other forks) is how network-chatty the application is. Is this lack of optimization? Is this how XRPC is supposed to be used? Are hundreds of requests simply not a problem anymore since HTTP/2?

Bridgy Fed is a great tool, but as I become more active on Bluesky I wonder if I should disable it for my Mastodon profile. I wish I could selectively disable it just for some posts, where I consciously post on both platforms (e.g., event announcements) and prefer the direct engagement.

To this day I haven't encountered a single TUI (terminal UI) I enjoyed using... Being limited to character level coordinates never made me understand why someone would prefer it over a GUI. That's also why I avoid any clutter in non-GUI neovim, using it just for text editing works fine.

Is there any tooling for atproto PDS operators to be made aware of moderation actions against data stored by their users? Mostly wondering because as a PDS operator you'd be legally responsible to delete illegal content, even if it is made inaccessible at the app layer.

As a severe heatwave sweeps across western Europe — with France, Spain & the United Kingdom recording some of their highest temperatures on record — EEA's European Climate Risk Assessment provides a sobering framework for what lies ahead. 🌡️ The current situation is not an anomaly, but is a preview.

Without sufficient adaptation, annual heat-related deaths could reach 90,000

Out of sheer curiosity I tried pushing the nixpkgs git repository to tangled.org and while their git server handled it just fine, their web interface absolutely didn't. 🥲 (not that much of a surprise, but I still had to try) #tangled #nix #nixos

Screenshot of an error on tangled.org with the heading "503 - Service unavailable" and the body "We were unable to reach the knot hosting this repository. The service may be temporarily unavailable.".

Underneath are two buttons, "Try again" and "Back to timeline".
