And I know that there are edge cases, and hard to parse things, and I don't want, say, a generic conservative to not feel like they can use @sunslider.bsky.social, they totally can. But that doesn't mean we have to accept everything, and certainly not speech/actions that directly harm others.

If all of that sounds like something you'd support and where you'd like to have your thoughts heard on where we should go from here, come join us!

For now we're only on iOS (I know, sorry! There were... reasons... for it. Android is coming.)

I've called this becoming the "Patagonia of social networks". It's a "Don't use this app" ethos, where I NEVER want you to be hanging out on @sunslider.bsky.social for hours on end. I want you to come on for 5-10 minutes, share, catch up with friends, and then go back to living.

And it's not half-bad for a v1.1! I was talking to a user the other day and she put why she liked it pretty simply:
- it's not Google/Meta/Amazon/etc.
- it's easy: you post what you want, choose who can see it, and that's it
- it's clean: no ads, no influencers, no impossible-to-understand settings.
