Yeah. It’s necessary for a project we’re working on.

Thought about untyped collections…great if just for us, but less so for other consumers of the structured records.

That’s exactly what we’re exploring. We’re working on a fascinating concept for the ecosystem.

Frustrating indeed.
Have you tried creating a feed that curates the experience you're looking for?

Been seeing the same for some time; since ~mid-July. I have an open todo to look into this more.

Couldn't agree more. So much so that built a feed generator that addresses your point. Have a look at any of my pinned feeds and you'll see what you're describing in action.
DM or drop a comment and I'd be happy to create a test feed for you.

"Less like this" takes time because the system must first learn what "this" means to the individual. But a feed based on your follows that excludes [US] politics is totally doable.

I need to be better at catching up with my DC feed. I almost missed this one; happy I didn't. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate your opinion.
I’ll also share that I was indeed able to trust that your post was *not* meant to intentionally encourage such.

Bingo! It's like yeah, we get it. Internet tech is evolving; decentralized probably makes sense right about now.
...And that looks like what exactly; in practice? What are those practical desired outcomes we're all going to benefit from when everything's decentralized??

Indeed. 'Free to leave' is a step toward data independence.
We can (and should often) grab our data repositories from Bluesky proper. Owning them from the start without the storage unit contract is the dream.

Thoughtful piece. Made me think about the friction between decentralization in theory and data sovereignty in practice. Keys living in someone else’s domain isn't true dominion. Real ownership means having "you" from the start, though the freedom to grab your data at will is a good start.

Is Russia’s stance really about attacking education by rejecting globalized educational systems? Or is it more nuanced; perhaps a rejection of the *idea* that 'international' education, as such, is framed through Western defaults, with all other perspectives filtered through that scaffolding?

Indeed. Tech lays the foundation; people shape the outcomes. I've wondered if the transactional IFTTT approach is a solid foundation to deliver engaging feeds.

Curious if an IFTTT-style approach could actually lead to more intentional feed outcomes. From what I’ve seen, making feeds contextual and engaging is 1 part tech, 3 parts craft.

Such a wonderful post. Made me smile! Thanks for sharing.

... @atproto.com, @rude1.blacksky.team, and a bunch of other people building in this space. Many will never understand how impactful and necessary the work here is, and that's ok. But I know. And My Jam! and a few other feeds I have cooking were not possible before now, and I am so proud of us all.

Just saw your post in the Yes Chef feed. Can't wait to give your chicken soup recipe a go as the weather cools. Thank you!
