"I can't believe a third-party did it better than Bsky" is the wrong take bc that's the whole point of Bsky and ATProto.

More of this. Build better than what's been built.
the success of the user-created For You feed while the official Discover feed flops is actually a pretty major win for Bluesky — it literally is the embodiment of their goal to decentralize feed generation and give users more control/autonomy

Remember kids, if you're working today, no you're not. It's Christmas Eve Eve. Put 8 hours of fake meetings on your outlook calendar. You're meeting with Santa. Take a dozen smoke breaks and feed a reindeer. Dasher and Dancer love Newports. This work week is over if you believe it is.

One thing I don't like about bluesky, and about social media in general, is that if you're just minding your business being a repulsive piece of garbage and trying to drive engagement by being obnoxious because that's your only viable option, people notice this and treat you like shit. Not fair!

whats the best vibe coding setup for atproto rn? I imagine something with a quickslice? I'm aiming for a simple webapp with UGC and maybe some leaderboard/aggregation

@thegooddotstore.bsky.social hey Hank and team! I love my socks and coffee 😊
You can set your handle to your web domain to prove your account is authentic. It’s easy and needs no approval by Bluesky or anyone. @good.store anyone??

Hey @reckless.bsky.social, I’d love to see a decoder topic episode on Age Assurance. I hear a lot on both sides of the argument. @pivotpod.bsky.social loves what Haidt started, while @taylorlorenz.bsky.social sees it as a moral panic attacking free speech. And products are caught in the middle.
