Now to fire up the ol' Discover feed to read some Completely Normal Takes about the Bluesky news.

Jay seized a historical moment and speed-ran Bluesky through some wild times. I'm glad she's found her own way back to the big picture. have had great conversations with @toni.bsky.team about standards work and open source governance. very important to have continuity of clueful leadership!

Heeey, look, it's me! I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

👋 I really can't believe how easy the migration process has become with tools like the moover. I remember looking into migration in early 2024 and it seemed to be somewhere between impossible and infeasible, where you had to stitch together your own script from very vague written instructions.

Finally got around to moving over to @selfhosted.social. Felt like an important thing to stop putting off after going to the fediforum workshop last week. Feels good.

Heck even Seinfeld or Rick & Morty. I'm not sure what the cause is. Is it just poor media literacy, or will people always take what they want from piece of media - or is that the same thing? It's possible the solution _is_ just "these stories are irresponsible to tell at scale," but I hate that.

I'm very conflicted about these kinds of stories. I think some are worth telling and offer unique perspectives that can be interesting to analyze. But like many other challenging pieces of mass media, can suffer context collapse. Happens with satire like Starship Troopers and RoboCop as well...

I know we're all nostalgic for the early 2000s, but c'mon guys not like this.

Feeds being the core of a microblogging app like this have tremendous power to shape your experience, so I think it's cool that randos have the power to run some of the most popular feeds.

Interest based, location based, event based, etc. Lots of cool stuff. One feed folks really like is "For You" bsky.app/profile/spac... The algorithm is: It finds people who liked the same posts as you, and shows you what else they've liked recently. Most people like it more than Discover.

One of the unique/useful things about bluesky is custom feeds. Lots of people _think_ they want a reverse-chronological list of posts from people they follow but few actually do. And many folks find Discover feed underwhelming. But some people run their own custom feeds you can use...

I gotta hand it to Evercade. Not just for reigniting my love of retro gaming, but of games in general. When I got the OG handheld in 2022 I had mostly fallen off video games as a hobby, maybe played a couple per year on Switch. But now I'm back into games both as a hobby and a community.
