My new blog post looks at how adult content shows up on Blacksky and the options we're considering to make it a more consensual experience. We'd love for every community member to read it, think it over, and share their perspective. Let's build a bridge between self-expression and consent together.

Your Body, Your Feed – Creating a bridge between consent and self-expression
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in discussion around how adult content currently shows up on our platform. By adult content, we mean content that is usually labeled as pornography, non-sexual nudity, or sexually suggestive content. Labeling adult content (both text- and image-based) is an example of how we empower community members to share more of themselves with folks, without creating a non-consensual experience for other members that do not wish to engage with adult content.  To solve this, we want to present you with options and invite you, as a member of our community, to decide how adult content shows up on Blacksky.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

Maybe I'm out of my mind (I am), but if I built/helped build open source software that ended up inspiring a bunch of folks to try their hand at doing the same thing their way, I'd be proud of that as much as people using my software 🤷🏻‍♂️

"We have built a plugin registry that is secure, but not controlled by a central authority. To do this we built it on top of AT Protocol (atproto) [...] We provide a default plugin store, but anybody else can create one that is compatible and can provide all the plugins in the network" Hell yeah 🌀🔥

I also feel like I am losing what's left of my mind when smart people who work in media use Facebook's apps and discourse about it on Twitter as if they have no theory of how media has worked for two decades or agency in the process.

At our Muay Thai gym we have to take our shoes off, so a lot of us come in with Crocs and leave them at the door. We always get confused about whose Crocs are whose. Anyway, I have these dope Miyazaki Croc charms now 🔥
A pair of black Crocs decorated with Studio Ghibli charms: on the left shoe, Jiji, No-Face, Totoro with a small companion, Calcifer, and a soot sprite; on the right shoe, Totoro with a leaf umbrella, the Catbus, a No-Face holding tea, a Kodama spirit, and a second Calcifer.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

Anuj Ahooja @quillmatiq.com · 27/09/2026
This is wild in many ways but... "DHH is known for controversial discussions, but this topped them all" I dunno, I'd argue the "murder the immigrants" rhetoric was a bit more controversial than what programming language this very rich lonely loser is using?

So with Googlebooks (not to be confused with Google Books), Google will have three OS brands: Android, Chrome OS, and Googlebook OS. After all these years, Google still remains the absolute worst of the worst when it comes to any kind of focus or branding.
