v1.111 is live today! We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi. Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.
Our most-used words this year aren't a big surprise: 'community', 'building', and 'conversations'.

In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning. https://puffball.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur&cid=bafkreigswnkmjosai6a7puia2atyyoolizge7biw5qmjxu6mhevkppmay4
Also new in today's v1.110 release: We’ve redesigned the “who can reply” settings to make them clearer and easier to use.

Also new in v1.109: custom feed operators now receive more interaction events. If you run a custom feed, now you'll know when people like, quote, repost, reply, and see posts in your feed. All valuable signals that can help you drive higher-quality recommendations in your feeds.
