I’m over here turning off all labelers and various warn settings trying to figure out why a particular response was hidden …

Argh … is there a per post tool that will show me what might be applied? I know how to look up an account…

Is it just me or is it offputting to other people when a project intended to make money doesn't have a website? Dev doesn't even seem to have a website...

Like hobby project is fine or testflight beta but when I see you already have subscription plans in your app? Something about it is throwing me

Meh but seems accurate.

More Aurora borealis tonight.

As soon as I stepped outside I could see it. I’m not getting as many eye visible pillars here in Kentucky but it’s still impressive.

Anyone else thinking they need to check the sky?
Absolutely wild naked eye visible pillars all the way down here on the Oklahoma/Texas border. Cell phone shot here. #aurora

I am very unfocused at the moment ...

... what was I even supposed to be working on again?
November 11, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Suddenly wondering how many of these are still around ...

Also suddenly realizing I haven't updated how that feed is built in awhile...

Still not much snow sticking but just enough for a nice nature photo.

Ahhhh I’m going to have to try this on an ebook reader because it’s my only Android device that I think will run it (not my main ecosystem.)

I like the idea of showing people what their labeler choices might be hiding though.

Anyone else working on anything like this too?
How do you know if your moderation settings work as expected?

Do your muted words block any posts?

Have your label settings hidden posts unknowingly?

You only know if there was an option to check what posts are hidden from your feeds.

Is there a lag with @graze.social for updates in changes to social graph? I unfollowed an account I think yesterday or the day before and it's still showing up in a feed with new posts that are supposed to be based on my own social graph... which I thought would be current social graph.

it's actually snowing today ❄️

(not really sticking / accumulating yet so I don't have photos)

One of my library books returned without me reading it and I realized I really needed to set up a Countdown dashboard for these.

On the library website/apps they reorder not based on date due but based on the last one I looked at.

I keep expecting to see Midnight cat everywhere still.

Just closed the back door & expected him to be sitting there waiting to come in.

I have deleted so many draft posts since he died just over a week ago because if I posted them all it just would be hourly notices that I miss the cat.

Super proud to be part of the EU Horizon proposal Social-PETs. It aims to bring privacy-enhancing tech (PETs) like homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computation to open social networks such as #ATProto, making powerful recommender systems possible without centralised data.

Not a fan of “rude” having been defaulted to “hide” here.

Also a reminder that there’s more settings you can change too.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

So I'm not going to buy another ipad for a year so I guess I get to force myself to experiment with upgrading it. I have been avoiding liquid glass so far. I need to give in on some device and see what it looks like.

Time for new front brakes …

(I’m fine and also not a traumatic event like brake failure I’ve experienced before either. I’m just tired.)
