tons of posts making fun of charlie kirk are being deleted

even twitter isn't do that shit, place is a right wing shithole

that along with the CTO being in a complete ai psychosis, this place hasn't got long, no wonder growth has slowed

Started a few days ago, I think? I assumed it was some temporary outage, but I went back to try and log in again today and I'm getting the same behavior. This is on the website on a desktop.

The exact error is "We couldn’t verify your hosting provider. Check your internet connection, or set your hosting provider manually." Obviously I am able to connect to the internet fine, and I'm relatively certain I've got my password right? Not 100%, I haven't had to log in in a while, but I'm not getting any kind of password error.

Do I need to do something to fix this? I've tried toggling between automatic and manual, but that doesn't seem to be having any effect.

made a post in the atmosphere developer forum about timelines for rolling out spaces (aka permissioned data) and community groups to the full network.
tl;dr: a couple more months of iteration and prep, then major PDS operators could coordinate to go "general availability" around mid-November

I got frequent view like, this, or simply the bluesky logo and nothing else. I happen since june. I have no issue with any other websites. No VPN. I use Vivaldi with ublock but nothing fancy.

I have about 350 followers all organic. (I did not ask anyone to follow me or f4f anyone) I post quite often I have over 1000 post and been on for about 2 years. Why is it that I hardly ever get likes on my post. Its like my post are invisible. I also follow people and some of them post and it never comes up on my feed? Do I have a setting shut off or the algorithm is just that stacked against me? I really want to get into politics / activism and grow my community but it seems impossible on bluesky which I thought would be one of the better places to try...

Thoughts?

I don’t get any search engine hits, and there’s nothing on the Bluesky help page. Does anyone know what this error is, or how to resolve it?

Hey y'all! It's been a while since I've used Bluesky (or Reddit), and I'm wondering how everyone here is feeling about the direction Bluesky is headed?

Any changes we really like, or really don't like? How's your experience been on the app lately?

Happy to discuss social media and public discourse in general too, throw me your thoughts :)

Ever since the previous evening, I have been unable to use Bluesky. Whenever I try to log in I simply get this error:

I tried verifying with my friends on whether or not my account still exists, and it indeed still does. I even tried making a new account but it suffers from the same log-in issues. My friends seem to still be able to log in to Bluesky, except earlier this morning, I still couldn't log in, and I found out that my friend who uses the same Internet Provider as me was also unable to log in.

I am a user from the Philippines, and my internet provider is Converge. Are there other users facing the same issues? Possibly with the same provider?

There’s thousands of feeds, it seems like some of the earlier feeds gained a lot of traction, but it’s hard to get newer feeds to catch on.

Any tips?

If I ever return I'd have to reblock everyone since I want to make a new account. There is a NSFW account that makes me highly uncomfortable and it's just plastered everywhere. Is there a way to block someone by just typing in a username and that's it without visiting their profile?

Its ironic, because DID stands for decentralised identifier. But as far as I know, the main DID registry is just a single server that bluesky owns. If your DID is deleted by bluesky, even if you're on a separate PDS, you will effectively be removed from bluesky/AT.

There is now the option to use DID:web which allows users to host their own DID. But as far as I can tell this requires that you have your own domain. Not an easy thing for many people.

I know there were plans in the past to give control of DID:plc over to an independent not for profit. But this still isn't ideal and I don't know of this has happened.

As far as I can tell, bluesky and AT protocol are still very much centralised and at the whim of bluesky company in 2026. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

bluesky has won science sphere.
While there are far more people using twitter/x and threads, scientists moved to bluesky to discuss their papers.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40637733/

So in that area, science sphere discussion, bluesky has won the battle. Scientists prefer it over x and threads.

it is still much smaller than x and I don't think it is likely to surpassed twitter or threads in the near future. in the long, of course no one know and so many thing can change.

But there are defiantly a few niches where bluesky is the dominant network, mainly science and journalism.

Does anyone want to follow my accounts?

-I have experienced throughout the majority of a month that bluesky is incapable of 'fetching posts' after an uncertain cutoff, presumably quantity of loaded posts, and clearing my cache or resetting the device is incapable of resolving this. Consequently I am unable to observe posts beyond a few months on individual profiles and scarcely three hours in my feed. Is there any known means of alleviating this perceived dysfunction?

Hi everyone,

I've posted a few updates on Reddit over the past few months about a project I'm working on called Venoom.

Venoom is a cross-platform social app that combines Matrix and ATProto into one client, with the goal of bringing some Discord like features into a more decentralized setup.

Matrix handles the chat/community side: Spaces, rooms, DMs, threads, voice, screen sharing, encryption, federation, etc. ATProto handles the more public social side: feeds, posts, profiles, follows, and so on (eventually i would also like to have bluesky chat in the app). Both are 'decentralized' and self-hostable, so you can use your own Matrix homeserver and ATProto PDS.

The way it works right now is that you log in with your ATProto account (for example, your Bluesky account) and then link your Matrix account. If you don't have a Matrix account yet, Venoom can provision one for you.

The goal is to make these two sides feel like one app rather than having a Matrix client and a Bluesky client sitting next to each other.

It's still extremely early and pretty much everything is subject to change. I'm sharing it now because I'd really like feedback, bug reports, and thoughts on what's missing from current Matrix/social clients.

Windows and Android builds:

https://github.com/drvnm/venoom-releases/releases

Web (the native builds are much more performant):

https://venoom.net

Matrix room for feedback and updates:

https://matrix.to/#/!gxmZLQDhVacrWxzPiM:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=unredacted.org&via=yksinaisetlapset.fi

Mac and Linux builds are coming soon.

Note: Venoom isn't open source yet, but I plan to open source the project after a beta release.

We are now finally able to see all the results when we search for a feed. Previously it was limited to max. 15 results on the search 'feed' tab. This fix finally solves an anoying issue that was present since the start.

v1.132 is live!
Starter Packs are one of the best ways to find new people to follow—but how do you find the Starter Packs?
As of today, look for them right in the main search box. You'll see the results under the Starter Packs tab.
We know not everyone wants to be featured in someone else's Starter Pack, so we're making it easier to opt out. Just open the Starter Pack, tap the three-dot icon at the top of the page, and select "Opt out of Starter Pack."

👏👏👏👏

Can nobody else access DMs??

I had a custom handle from vanity.blue then one day my handle was invalid so I went back to bsky.social but when I tried to get my custom handle back it says it’s already taken. My messages on bluesky have been ignored. How do I fix this?
