Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky’s Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we’re committed to fostering healthy, open conversations

GPT-5 is great and my new chosen coding model.

It can be both: in fact it's quite nice to use AI for post-processing in PhotoShop.

Were you possibly translating the page from another language?

Returned to Bluesky after six months and I'm wondering how things have gone for you. What are you working on?

Checking back into bsky and sorry to see you're still looking for work. I liked the IF you made a while ago. Wishing you the best.

Checked into #Bluesky and saw some good news! I can see posts I made to those who blocked me. I hope this means that they are now publicly visible for other people, but it's hard for me to test. @thieflord.dev any insight?

Sounds like you're shaping up to be an even worse place for public discourse.

Interesting. So if you query for all posts made by User A, it simply will not return any posts User A made on User B's posts if User B blocked them?

Great job. Is it technically possible to see posts a user has made which are not publicly visible on Bluesky due to them being blocked?

Bluesky has maybe half the features Twitter has, and is a dangerous place for discourse.

What do you fear about Bluesky's federation?

Also, thanks for making ClearSky. :}

This comic confuses diversity for wokeness. Wokeness is not pro-diversity, but rather uses it as a social justice tool to destroy and subjugate people/ideas which aren't part of the typically "diverse" groups. It seeks to empower only through weakening others.

And anyone can still hide YOUR data on this dangerous platform.

Looks great. I feel like #3's Old has more "soul" but otherwise, improvements across the board.

You can use this tool to see who's blocking you/another person. I outed Michael Avolio as sympathetic to authoritarianism and Mohammad Rasoul as a (fragile) misogynist, but you'll never know that because them blocking me hid their posts to the public.

Welcome, new #BlueSky users. This is still a problem and has been "looked into" with no positive result. Blue Sky is a dangerous place for discourse, where poor thinkers who are routinely shut down on other platforms have free reign to be as awful as they like and effectively delete YOUR content.

It did not steal your art nor your ideas, it copied them and reinterpreted them. No theft has occurred.

What'd you do?

⚠ Unlike Twitter, blocking someone on Bluesky will publicly hide all interactions between both parties. This means the receiver of criticism can effectively hide a critic's comment. This promotes echo chambers. At this time, I wouldn't consider Bluesky a safe place for any contentious discourse.

I really hope you do.

I've been doing this since I first read the word.

That looks great, happy for you guys.

As far as the written prose, would you ever consider using an AI to act as editor for your work if the alternative was to go without an editor? For example, on something like your recently published IF.

I could see value in AI editors, and I think it could help improve juniors' skill.

That's fair. We're starting to see a more pronounced gap in my field (web dev) between junior roles and senior roles, but I expect writing-as-a-job to stay in largely the same place. I expect it will be harder for junior writers to take freelance work. Thoughts?
