(tl;dr: no.) Let me explain the backstory behind this bit of Bluesky lore. /1 2026-07-06T19:23:59Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsthwmhuupxyvgn7n8049d9w7ke0d6y5kdq38z68ql7aaje4ey9lmgzyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvqnrge4 Just discovered Spotify AI DJ for the first time, since I don’t really use premium. The product seems decent in terms of music, but the ‘voice and attitude’ on the AI is just trying so hard to be cool that it becomes cringe. 2026-05-20T11:52:19Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxcfaqk0hw8vrdndrhn9ycu5pjss3275uhczhrhncgamge593tj7szyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvg9dtpq Looking forward to some big changes to verification coming this week. 2026-03-30T07:33:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszw5d7vgwngn69779he9xes6zvfrt4uqfj6948yww8j7d8jr6yuqczyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvz7l2h3 We said we wanted to take action on toxicity. In 2025 - two experiments, the first on lists and the second on replies significantly cut down on user perceptions of toxicity in the app. Lots to improve in accuracy but it was an incredibly promising start.<br/><br/>RE: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/post/3mdni342e422l">https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur/post/3mdni342e422l</a><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note14tmhmryfq2hd7fx4m70n6fwspvv3e6j7qwye58tfu3wjjc90g5rqlhw46u" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note14tm…w46u</a></span><br/> </div> In 2025, as Bluesky grew from 25M to 42M users, we took actions to keep it welcoming, using proactive design to reduce toxic content by 79%.  Our 2025 Transparency Report shares how we're building a safer platform while keeping a transparent and human-centered approach: [bsky.social/about/blog/0...](<a href="https://bsky.social/about/blog/01-29-2026-transparency-report-overview">https://bsky.social/about/blog/01-29-2026-transparency-report-overview</a> )<br/><br/>[2025 Transparency Report Overv...](<a href="https://bsky.social/about/blog/01-29-2026-transparency-report-overview">https://bsky.social/about/blog/01-29-2026-transparency-report-overview</a> ) </blockquote> 2026-01-30T14:29:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgvjtsh30dz4eye85cqjc7wuggj9ujq7ltgaz0xrq0n87lfu0pawgzyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvamtm6u Hey #SpeirGorm folks, know anyone in the Irish govt who could use friendly outreach to get on Bluesky? This is talking about setting up handles, verification, tech support etc… so just if any of those might be blockers on orgs or people moving over. 2026-01-13T08:26:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsred3ttuwfmjz24mlzj2njjje2u95e9dd52jycjhy7mmxcx0wx3dgzyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvz3tnvk Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass. 2026-01-09T11:03:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy68y6m04j0rxreud5hcqca6dgyj0euvmrnkjgte2z276cpagjnfgzyrtk4ayh3fjal8ljwlgtamrhrdyf0uzn7dynq7s9397n72nz9j3jvy8xsyt Hopefully I&#39;ve done this correctly in terms of the leaflet setup this time.
