I think you’ll definitely start to see fewer people watching every PLE. It will start looking like the PPV days when people just watch the big events.

A large slice of pizza in an open cardboard box, resting on a sheet of parchment paper. The pizza is topped with melted cheese, pepperoni, black olives, sausage, and green peppers. The box is placed on a wooden surface.

A serene lake with calm, clear water reflecting a cloudy sky. The foreground shows a shallow, pebbly shoreline with submerged sand, while a patch of green aquatic plants is visible on the right. In the distance, a tree-lined shore with scattered houses is reflected on the water's smooth surface.

Good morning! Looking a little gloomy today.

Ohio State has not beaten Michigan in football for 2065 days. #GoBlue #Michigan #BeatOhio

One thing I love about Bluesky is how so many people are constantly hacking away on new ideas on the protocol.

Surf is hands down one of the easiest places to create feeds. Glad to see them getting some additional visibility.

If Democrats are so good at rigging elections, why did Trump win twice?

Verification check marks should show up way faster now in @atexplore.social. I hooked into the firehoseβ€”my previous solution was quicker to roll out but took too long to actually show the check marks.

If you file a false criminal report, you can go to jail. Why doesn’t the same standard apply to elected officials?

A lot of scenes in Silicon Valley would still work today if you just swap 'algorithm' for 'AI'.

The freakout over Mamdani’s position of β€œlet’s make things more affordable” is really a mask-off moment for the establishment.

Notice how she doesn't actually defend what Trump said, she just confirms his uncle worked at MIT. Nobody is disputing that part...

This is a weak argument. A digital ledger of all your criminal activity is probably a bad tool for criminals. More criminal activity is conducted in USD than in crypto.

Yeah, it’s too bad it isn’t. I’m trying to keep the verifiers in atexplore.social close to Bluesky, but it’s kind of hard to keep track of.

Does Bluesky publish a list of its trusted verifiers somewhere?
