push notifs for activity notifications should now be much improved - old ones will now stick around, instead of being replaced by new ones. collect endless notifications to your heart’s content

kudos to @esb.lol for this change!

hey folks, we've heard reports that some posts and accounts weren't showing up in search.

there was a technical issue on our end that prevented a small number of new posts and accounts from getting indexed.

we're backfilling the missing data now, and search results should return to normal soon.

We're considering a feature that would let you specify topics you're not interested in, in addition to your existing interests. This would influence the content shown on your Discover feed and the accounts recommended in Explore. What do we think?

We're working on a redesign of the post interaction settings. What do we think? Open to suggestions on what we should add or remove here.

> user posts something
> gets a ton of replies, some low quality
> user restricts interactions to people they follow only
> pre-existing replies from non-follows still appear

Wondering if we can improve upon that 🤔

threads like this highlight the best part of social media — how it can lead to opportunities and relationships that change your life

what if more platforms optimized for relationships over engagement?
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

if @bsky.app introduced a "Zen Mode" — what do you think it would be? what problem would you want it to solve?

challenge accepted 🫡
Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.
