Probably worth sharing this again — we're building the open, non-enshittified Substack on atproto & getting *really close* just need to get paid memberships in! We need your help — who do you know who's on Substack, but is *also* active here & might like to publish somewhere more…atmospheric??

Migration complete! Moved from my own hosted PDS server to @transrights.northsky.social with only a minor hiccup (my bad). If it helps someone - my SMTP server was failing, the migration process couldn't send a confirmation code to complete the process. Fixed the SMTP issues and it was easy breezy.

If you’re in town around SXSW, check out Fediverse House, a 2-day event hosted by Flipboard and Surf. Amazing lineup of folks including Mike McCue, Molly White, Evan Prodromou, and Paul Frazee. I’ll also be giving a short presentation during the developer meetup about Micro.blog and the fediverse.

Well, I didn’t plan it, but word got out anyway, and people discovered that the fed.brid.gy Bluesky/fediverse bridge quietly went online a bit ago. Over 1200 accounts have already turned it on so far and bridged themselves one direction or the other. It’s great to see so much early interest!

My thoughts on a Bluesky PDS install from a few weeks ago. It works! Very well. No downtime, running like a dream after two weeks. But boring as all get out. Here's why. #BlueSky #Fediverse

Oh my God! Pierro and I aren't watching the #Oscars because we don't get cable, but we just received word that he won the award for Stinkiest Poop?! 😲 As you can see, he is absolutely floored - we were NOT expecting this!! He says he is so honored, and thank you to the Academy 🥹

This little crafty valentine's tire cover I saw at our local grocery is 💖 just adorable 💖 until you take a closer look. ✌️
The back of a jeep has a tire cover fully decorated in pink and red garland, with hearts, teddy bears and gnomes peeking out from various places. The back window is filled with valentine's stickers as well. At the top right of the tire, a skeleton hand holds up a peace sign.

I think bluesky functioned surprisingly well actually during this current debate about the Lorenz and the libsoftiktok interview? Like, when popular, respected accounts (as well community at large) have radically opposed viewpoints on a fraught political subject thats usually a recipe for disaster
