MOVED ➡️ @baralheia.dragonchat.org

Right now, Loops development is a one-man show spearheaded by dansup, it's creator. Pixelfed, on the other hand, was also created by dansup but there are *many* more devs than just him contributing to the project.

My main account will continue to be @baralheia.dragonchat.org for the foreseeable future, however - so if you're not following me on that account you absolutely should! Or come find me on Fedi at @baralheia@dragonchat.org!

the case for Wafrn for Bluesky users!

https://cyrneko.eu/bsky-wafrn.html

have fun :3 #wafrn

Wafrn, the social media that respects you Wafrn is a social media inspired by tumblr that connects with the fediverse

Thinking I might migrate this account to #WAFRN. I've wanted to give a Tumblr-like Fedi instance a try, and they also natively support crossposting on both Fedi and BlueSky without needing Bridgy. If you wanna check 'em out too, go to wafrn.net to learn more!

If you wanna learn more about what Bridgy actually does and how it works, check their documentation here: fed.brid.gy/docs

Also, to be clear: You don't HAVE to follow the Bridgy bot in order to follow my main account! I just won't be able to follow you back or see any of your interactions if you don't. Bridgy is the magic sauce that lets Bluesky talk to Mastodon and vice-versa and without it, there is no magic :(

And if you do follow both my main account and the Bridgy bot, but I'm not following you back yet, ping me here and let me know so I can fix that! ^.=.^

Yeah I know I'm a fuckin' nerd for preferring Mastodon and the wider Fediverse but I'm so glad that Bridgy exists - it lets anyone have the best of both worlds!

Since that account is actually bridged from Mastodon, you should *also* follow @ap.brid.gy - this will allow me to follow you back, as well as see your posts, replies, and interactions. I can't see you without that!

I know it's a little extra hassle but I'd love y'all forever if you did! ❤️

Hey friendos! If you're following me here and seeing this post, you should know I don't really use this account anymore - I've moved over to @baralheia.dragonchat.org instead. Please give me a follow there!

Nah, I never rinse after using mouthwash, but I'd never heard of leaving toothpaste on your teeth after brushing.

@talon.is-grow.ing Rawr! Just a heads-up if you weren't already aware, Dragonchat seems to be having issues this afternoon

"Why are you judging us?"

I'm not. I'm making sure you're informed.

You can make whatever choice you want with this knowledge, but I don't want anyone claiming they "didn't know" about the Fediverse as an option.

The Internet is more than four websites or the apps on your phone.

You may not care about this nerd shit, but it's the root cause for what you dislike.

"Why should I, who is not competing for the title of uber-geek, care about decentralization?"

Y'know how bad Twitter (now "X") got?

That was the result of what Cory Doctorow coined as "enshittification."

Centralization is required for most types of enshittification.

I hate to tell you this but

BlueSky is centralized, yo

That's why they can block Mississippi

ATProto notwithstandng, you're on a centralized platform here

This is why my best posts are on Mastodon, and not here

Hi everyone! Time for a Bridgy Fed status update. We have a lot of new features and bug fixes to announce since the last time, so here we go!

* Added a web-based UI for enabling and configuring the bridge for your accounts.
* Added support for fediverse split domain mode, ie when your […]

how it works for yourself, they can be found here: fed.brid.gy/docs#get-sta...

If you do opt into Bridgy, please ping me on my main or on Telegram so I know it's working and follow you back!) [3/3]

and why it looks like I'm not following you from my main - I actually can't see you at all unless you're willing to follow that Bridgy bot I mentioned. If you have any questions, I'm happy to explain how it works - just ping me on Telegram - or if you'd rather read the official docs to see [2/3]

(Also sorry for the delay, you aren't following @ap.brid.gy so I didn't see this until just now... I use Bridgy to crosspost from Fedi/Mastodon to Bsky, but for privacy reasons it only lets me see you and your replies if you're also using Bridgy. That's also why I'm replying from this account, [1/3]

For you, I would, gladly... but i eated them already ;.=.;

If you want to dive in head-first and then figure out the details later, all you have to do is follow @ap.brid.gy to start using Bridgy.

And if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up anytime! I've used it for a while so I'm quite familiar with it's operation and happy to help. [5/5]
