Really excited to share with you the first of a four-part series I wrote for HiLoBrow.
About two years ago, I started noticing that certain places made me feel deeply uneasy for no real reason.
Eventually, I gave these places a name: The Devoid, a new kind of gothic for the 21st century.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11
