For anybody else coming across this, a reply was made here: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lbvbtqrg5t2t Bit of a side note for my fellow protocol enjoyers: this site is WhiteWind…

I'm sorry, but there's just a qualitative difference between a company setting up some API endpoints and what Bluesky PBC is doing with building atproto, releasing PDS software, en…

Users choose which 3p labelers they subscribe to. If a labeler service starts abusing their position, users can drop it. https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/tree/main/0002-…

For the "I want to use different emails for different repos" issue, I've seen the `includeIf` technique but it felt fiddly. What I've done is set `user.useConfigOnly = true` and co…

Love it. A "choose your own adventure" depending on how much you distrust Bluesky PBC :) My only feedback would be: I'd love to read a real deep dive on just bringing in your own d…
