Neat

Calling on academics and PhD students and anyone who knows PhD students —

Thanks to @graze.social we are now using the personalized 'for you' sorting! I’m also open to other changes to better connect us. What feels missing? Anything you’d add, remove, change? Thoughts and reposts welcome 🙏🏻

it feels bad to see everyone else able to profit off of selling sex (thinking about heated rivalry, sarah j maas, game of thrones, euphoria etc.) when avenues for online sex work get more restrictive every month.

For You, For Everyone - Graze Newsletter How Graze built a "composable personalization" engine for the open social web — and why it matters right now.

For You, For Everyone: we're thrilled to announce that our feed personalization engine is now live — and fully open source. Read our @leaflet.pub announcement below, or follow the 🧵:

Oh I haven't heard of this. This seems like it should be an easy way to deploy.

Skyware I'm not sure will be easier initially to deploy than ozone but you will avoid ozone nonsense.

I forget but what's the intended purpose of this labeler you want to setup?

I'm just so familiar with ozone at this point that it's become my go to but I have used this and it works well.

Getting Started | @skyware/labeler The power of community moderation at your fingertips.

As far as I know it's the only UI for doing moderation but you can do everything without ozone. It's useful but it has issues. I'd love it if someone made something better.

skyware.js.org/guides/label...

Is worth checking out especially if you're not looking to moderate

godspeed.

ozone can be a nightmare sometimes, but it's also super useful. feel free to reach out if you have any questions

the cool thing about motonormativity is that if you ask any driver if it's good to have a car running in a closed garage they'll say "of course not because of the exhaust fumes", but "where do the exhaust fumes go when the car is Outside?" is not usually pondered

Are these steel bollards of children creepy, yes.

Are they doing their job, also yes.

As always. The children are the front line in pedestrianized safety.

Court Decision Revives the SAVE Repayment Plan A judge denied the Department of Education's attempt to end the Saving on a Valuable Education repayment plan this week.

hahahaha

fema continues to not pay the man

Motorists in cities create barriers for people. They move with a sense of entitlement and intimidate even when being respectful.

This brilliant campaign from Quebec shows exactly what it takes to get motorists to actually yield. We have to prioritize human lives and safety over vehicular momentum.

@byarielm.fyi seems to always know of every project lol

My mistake, I'm not sure how I could have overlooked this. Adding to the trello board.

Particularly their event lexicon. I wish I knew about this before we started lol.

Anyway, there's some neat tools for feedmakers on the app you'll discover too.

The primary use case we had in mind is making local custom feeds.

We also shadow label your account with our custom labeler. This means even during an outage, user location data stays up. This also offers y'all another way to use location info. I'm also exploring @lexicon.community. We need this.

If you login, more features are also available, like mutuals, and event creation.

Currently, when you add yourself to a location, we save that in our database, which we use for our AT proto proxy (at://did:web:lists.fema.monster/app.bsky.graph.list/US-OR-Portland)

Use these lists for anything!

There's two ways to add a location. Click "add" and you'll be directed to bluesky to send a command. Since the command comes from your logged in account, that's how we verify you. Our bot will do the rest.

Or you can login to our app and just do things directly.

Set your location and view your mutuals!

Easily create custom local feeds on @graze.social (well, the user base needs to grow for the true potential!)

View live posts in your city on an interactive map!

Create events!

And more! BETA. 🧵

If only local media outlets got as excited about stuff like this as they do abt e-scooter injuries

And the streetcar is electric.

Denizens of Bluesky, residents of #Portland / #PDX, your attention, please.

A really good friend who moved to Portland and rented a place there needs help REAL SOON.

Any ideas and/or resources and/or help and/or ANYTHING? Please reply in the quoted post below. *Thank you.*

yeah I got one of these too, well a cheaper no name brand, and it's worked great haven't come across anything it can't do yet.

@byarielm.fyi the appliance gods must just hate you

This is brilliant. Love that you setup a labeler to verify accounts. It's nice to see creators build these systems and benefit.

dunno who the artist is but thank you this is exactly what this legend deserves

the term originated from design of physical objects and systems, but it applies to the internet as well! #UniversalDesign #DisabiityJustice

The world would be a better place if we had more of this.

Yeah, I need to disconnect too. I always have something I'm working on but I need to do this soo.

Sewing is cool I always wanted to learn and make my own clothes.
