Friendly reminder you only have to use #AddToBlacksky once and never again. I see folks tagging every post with it or #Blacksky. You don’t have to do that. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreid3b7i3t4ljxjhdookd3rw7ugquzvrowdc3jxtxctbepxkdrf5rtm

My little self-care project over the next few weeks is scraping the last 5yrs of my liked posts on Instagram (13K posts, 30GB of media) to plug into a custom Pinterest/Cosmos style app. Scraping's done. Will work on the app in the next few weeks (no deadline). Then try putting on @proto #atdev

For a lot of us, atproto projects are some of the biggest (most users, most publicized, most code written, etc.) projects we’ve ever done. For me, it’s also my first time working in open source (ironically, someone asked me to be more open about that) If you can help, pls check out open issues. [PDS: Adding new leaf to MST is...](

There's been a wave of extremist raids on Bluesky in the last week. It was brought to my attention that Blacksky may be a target. Please ping me (tag, DM, email, etc.) if you notice any agitators in the feed. Also report the post to bsky mods. I've already flagged to T&S and they are aware. #nofeed https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreihzp6wsesckij26bdni7ekotmld5tvoq4wgjqbfxz2exwknkmb77q https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreie6dvnnrxzcbfgtuo5mji6wieri26qvujricpnhv6rhlcbq2ho7je

Shout out to people talking (positively) about Blacksky on other platforms. 🫶🏾 https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreia6ivk2ucfo3gpsndawfrkck5royve4tdvhxrcixa7gwfblxva5zm https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreifjngfzss3cqz7mlm7oddy7a2pzprukqkprcta7t67o4zzfyr6bdm

No one ever brings up the centralized slurp power of the bsky relay. How bsky gets to decide who can and can’t get slurped out here /s https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreifftbjmprv3dpzp4dxjxxp6skd2atfwhxhzkd6z5hikzc335ow75a

You've heard it from all the other devs but yeah, Blacksky almost doubled in new users, the database is at 100% cpu usage, and total daily visits has eclipsed every other major US news event this year. Bom dia, Blacksky Brasil 🇧🇷

Feels pretty notable the celebration of Blackness during this year's DNC, regardless of how you feel about the Harris-Walz campaign. And it's been obvious to me how active Blacksky has felt over the last couple nights. That activity is visible in the data too! https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreidj6vlitioxuxkgee6itdsz7rtn7lngno7fogukrfg5d7yglguwfe
