So... we're excited to launch: Moderator Mayhem (which we've spent the last few months building, in partnership with Engine). A browser-based mobile content moderation simulator game: https://moderatormayhem.engine.is/

Just noting: we made this game browser playable on purpose. It's not in an app store. It's not meant to be in an app store. Some of us still believe in the browser.
I had a blast last night playing this. Got so hooked up, I forgot to come back here and mention it until now.
What a lovely and well done game built on the web.

So how do we feel about using BlueSky to spitball early ideas?
It feels like we're ready for a post-blockchain movement, so I've been prototyping this: https://www.unchaind.org.
If you're also ready for the coin-free world, would love your feedback/edits! (Repo is open source on GitHub as well)

Is there any "branding" yet around what LLMs have done to web application development?
I'm less interested in the "AI changes everything!" rhetoric, and more in the "cacheing has moved from x to y; delegated auth is harder because z; scaling and load balancing needs new patterns a, b and c".

Post deletes being complete happening soon! Thanks @jay.bsky.team!
NOTE regardless of network, scraping happens and can't really be stopped. For years a bot reposted my every tweet. Please be careful. BlueSky is a playground - not a different universe - even if we rejoice in momentary reprieve.

it’s important for y’all to realize that this app is wild right now because all of you are posters. you’re probably not meant to meet each other in the wild without a cushioning biome of lurkers around

there’s already other servers out there bc this is open source code, they just don’t federate with ours yet. we’re getting close to a dev sandbox environment to test/debug in, but the social piece of federation (this server talking to everyone) we plan to roll out with some form of reputation system
