My automation turned itself off without my realizing 😔 should never have gone offline!

Unfortunately that's correct. I looked into fixing this a while back but didn't get around to it. I'll open a ticket.

“And sometimes these features did briefly integrate into a higher-order unity, as letters integrate into words, words into sentences. But like words dissolving into sentences, sentences into paragraphs and plots, combining these elements into a face required forgetting them….” - Ben Lerner, 10:04

Oh shoot, thanks for the callout! I’ll take a look

y'all may know I work at Plotly, who just joined Bluesky! Pretty awesome company -- give 'em a follow to watch some exciting work emerge from our community.

welcome to bsky for the newcomers! make sure to check out @wiki-potd.bsky.social if you haven’t yet…

@wiki-potd.bsky.social oddly has seen follow growth pretty much flatline in the last month or two… kinda odd

Hey thanks! Glad the community here enjoys photos from Wikipedia as much as I do.

so, I haven't checked bluesky in a WHILE, and I just looked at my @wiki-potd.bsky.social account, which has 5k followers all of a sudden! That's wayyyy more popular than the Twitter one ever was.

Thanks for the support! Hopefully people enjoy having better access to the photos. I love them.

pleased to announce that after ignoring this account for several days it continues to post.

good bot

calling the service "AirBnB" is completely ludicrous. I have never once gotten breakfast at one and I doubt I ever will

New blog post!! All about transit maps on Wikipedia!! Go give it a read https://nathandrezner.com/2023/04/24/wikipedia-transit.html

I mean overall the whole thing is like Mastodon... but it adds back "the algorithm"... and visible likes... and implicit content promotion... which, maybe they're black boxes... or whatever... but I like it! they find people and things and content that I'm interested in and funnel it to me

I do also love the "verification by domain" functionality. It's something that Mastodon has implemented in a similar way but configuration via DNS is frankly brilliant.
