This is a friendly reminder to enable the setting that forces you to supply an alt text when you attach an image.

Lets all do our bit to make this place as accessible as possible! 🙂

if you want to chat about something sensitive, you can use Bluesky DMs to exchange contact info, but I would recommend moving the conversation to Signal.

Bluesky DMs are private, but they are not (yet) E2EE. Signal is hardened, focused, and does privacy/security best.

also applies to bluesky dms, think of them as unlisted posts

for anything that requires privacy, use end-to-end encrypted messaging apps: @matrix.org @signal.bsky.social
tapping the sign:

bluesky is a public network. do not make posts which can be interpreted as a physical threat against a living political figure. do not fly close to the sun.

From now on, we'll use our @bsky.app account as our main feed for Vitest updates. vitest.dev and GitHub have been updated; you won't find any X links there. Let's do Open Source in an Open Source social network 🦋

keep giving "show less" / "show more" to the algorithm, we’ll be tuning it to respect these signals better but signals by themselves are very useful

"show less" currently doesn’t do anything for the "nettop" feed source (popular posts) but we *do* need to make it work so keep pressing and we’ll try to prioritize fixing. it does already have effect on most other feed sources

Introducing the Bluesky Altometer:

altometer.atdev.pro

This is an project #atproto that tracks image posts for alt text. It keeps track of the percentage of posts it has seen (since the last database reset) that are *missing* alt text.

The goal here is to increase the #accessibility of Bluesky.

😮 Bluesky pro-tip: in the accessibility settings, you can enforce that the images you post must have alt text.

This is important for folks who use screen readers. Instead of seeing the image, the supplied text will be read to them instead.

hi to all old friends from twitter!

i want to show you this thing: atproto-browser.vercel.app. put your bluesky handle in it and explore :)

this should give you some intuition about how this place works under the hood. happy to answer any questions about it!
