just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

heh yeah that's a thing if you follow yourself — we can filter this out but it's a pretty rare thing, mostly API users — for now consider it an easter egg :P

"Who can reply" is now on every thread you create. If a thread ever gets frustrating, click that button and lock the thread. No more replies.

this feature is basically "contact sharing" in other social apps you've used but explicit and with a well-defined purpose and not the app just sucking up your entire contacts directory so they can do god knows what with that data

muting a thread in 1.87 should reliably stop the notifications (including push notifs) and works across all devices. thanks to @samuel.bsky.team and @dholms.xyz for getting this fix in!

📢 1.87 is rolling out now (2/4) Sometimes a thread gets too heated. Now you can lock a thread retroactively so that only the people you specify (or nobody!) can reply. Also: muting a thread now works more reliably.

Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky! 🚀 Update to version 1.87 of the app or refresh desktop to create a starter pack. (It may take a moment for version 1.87 to appear in the iOS App/Google Play stores.)

If you happen to have any suggestions for what we could do to encourage users to input their real interests here, lmk! This is what it looks like in that PR, for reference (subject to change)

Yeahhh, we're still debating. The issue is that until a user starts interacting with the algorithm and following other users, we don't have any signal to go on when it comes to showing them content they may be interested in. Kind of a chicken-egg problem.

I know I say this every time but we've got a great release coming up, including: 1. We finally fixed thread muting. 2. You'll be able to lock threads after creating them (or just change who can reply).

Non sequitur but one of these days I wanna make my own hot dogs. Like grind meat, cure it, smoke it, bake bread, pickle some sport peppers, the whole thing. I don't have a garden so would purchase veg but you get the idea 🌭
