THE SHORT PITCH Twitter is a cesspool and I’m only posting there now to tell people to find me elsewhere. That elsewhere?

As new users downloaded the app, Bluesky jumped to becoming the app to No. 1 in Brazil over the weekend, ahead of Meta's X competitor, Instagram Threads.

I'm begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it
I think it belongs at the very bottom of the page.
I am excited to announce that I am joining the board of Bluesky, where I will be providing advice and guidance to the company to help it achieve its vision of a more open, more competitive, more de…
Feel free to create a new post. It would be nice not being the only person posting in this community
That's fair but I don't really know what that has to do with Buffer adding Bluesky support

Bridgy Fed can now bridge websites to Bluesky
Bridgy Fed can automatically generate a Bluesky presence for your site. You can also use it to follow any site that has microformats2 or an RSS/Atom feed. Includes profiles, posts, IndieWeb interactions, etc. Source

He's a flawed character with, unconventional ideas about Jeffery Epstein and the nature of his crimes. Nevertheless, his ideas about Free Software undoubtedly changed the landscape of computing for the better.

What do you want Israel to do? Discriminate against LGBTQ or not?
What we don't want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It's unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses "Hamas would throw you off a roof" as a cheap gotcha.
A writeup about ATProto and Nostr, how they originated, their tradeoffs, and how they relate to ActivityPub and Scuttlebutt
This post could’ve been titled “Nostr vs ATProto”, but that really isn’t what I wanted to do here. While I will be comparing and contrasting them a lot, and that’s kind of even the point of writing this, I didn’t want to really pit the two against each other at all, and especially not with the title...
The Philadelphia Inquirer has. The problem is that Donald Trump and his supporters don't care what the editorial boards of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Times, or the Washington Post have to say about him.
Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they're only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.
"Harbu Darbu" is a perfect example of that.

Depends on the server you’re on. Lemmy found popularity when a group of communists had their subreddit(s)banned
That's actually part of the reason why the original devs started Lemmy.
Bridgy Fed is one of the efforts aimed at connecting the fediverse with the web, Bluesky and, perhaps later, other networks like Nostr.
I guess I'm having trouble communicating why this excites me so much. I'm impressed I created to create a custom feed that I personally found useful, despite not knowing how to code. I'll have to check out Misskey or Calckey later.
Yes, but I could do this on my own without any coding, and use it directly within the app
My own custom feed is how I get my news.
The level of control Bluesky gives users with custom feeds is simply incredible. I could recreate the Mastodon newsfeed without any coding whatsoever.
All I had to do was create a feed on Skyfeed that
- Inputs @aendra.com's list of verified news agencies (+ a couple of unofficial news accounts)
- sort using the HackerNews ranking algorithm
That's all I needed to do. Here is my tweaked version of this (no login necessary)..
