Is someone working on updating #Bluesky to support the latest #PNG spec? (Which includes animated PNG #APNG.)#ATmosphere
atmosphere
Gotta admit, #ATmosphere devs take time designing the frontend of their software while #Fediverse devs focus more on the backend.

First, #Bluesky corp shadowbanned my account about 6 hours ago (more or less).
A few minutes ago, they completely suspended the account.
Reason? Unknown.
They claim:
1. They don't do shadowbanning. But they actually do, you'll get flagged with a hidden label "needs-review".
2. They claim "needs-review" is for accounts with suspicious activities like harassing people (not guilty), scamming (not guilty), suspicious (not guilty).
But they suspend you any way.
Oh, the account is hosted on an independent PDS. Yes, ATmosphere network suspension rest on Bluesky corps shoulders. All ATproto roads lead to Bluesky corp.
If you don't have any connection to the powers-that-be, it's more likely goodbye data. So much for championing "portability" and "owning your data". 🤷🏽
For sure the reason will be "it's automated" again, we've heard that since 2024 and it's still a very faulty "automated system" that produces high false positives.
So far what I tested:#Fediverse :: #ATmosphere* Pixelfed :: grain.social || pinksky.app* Loops (by Pixelfed) :: sprk.so* NeoDB :: skylights.my* Mobilizon :: smokesignal.events* Drupal, WordPress, Plume, WriteFreely :: whtwnd.com || leaflet.pub* Bookwyrm :: bookhive.buzz
This is a very useful labeler: @recordcollector.edavis.dev It adds which #ATmosphere services an account used for the past 30 days. If helps in discovering what the person is using and what services are out there.Verdict: should be standard in appviews.
A few days ago I created a new #Bluesky custom #Feed for #ATmosphere exclusive services with official accounts. It helps in keeping track of updates specific to these projects.deer.social/profile/sera...It is of course powered by the best: @graze.social 🐮.

Yeah, sure, #Bluesky is dying … but #DeerSocial and the #ATmosphere are not. 🤪 deer.social#SocialWeb

I just set up an easy to remember link for my #NeoDB shelf/catalogue/library account:
https://loomenji.youronly.one ( @youronlyone )
😁
It's in addition to the following:
* fediverse.youronly.one - @youronlyone
* atmosphere.youronly.one - @youronly.one
* gallery.youronly.one - @youronlyone@pixelfed.social
* wiki.youronly.one - youronlyone.tiddlyhost.com
* threads.youronly.one - @youronly.one.ofcl
If you have a personal domain name, use it for redirection (301 or 302). Easy to remember.
Another advantage, if you ever decide to move instances or change your accounts, you don't have to reprint business cards and update links everywhere, just change your redirect target setting. (It won't move your content of course.)
And if you're bridging to the #ATmosphere network, you can use your own domain as your handle for your #Fediverse network accounts (if supported by your bridging platform)!
Make use of your domain name! Redirect!
The second longest-running Augmented Reality Game (ARG), Ingress by Niantic, has finally joined the Open Social Web today through the ATmosphere network's Bluesky platform.

Something to SNS providers and software can learn from the gaming industry is name filters.
Majority, if not all, online #games implement a RegExp-based or manual input name blocklist. In the socmed landscape, software like Mastodon should implement it to prevent any handles **and** display names with "Mastodon" in it.
Instance admins and moderators should be able to add new entries as they see fit. They can choose between RegExp matching or manual input.
It is an effective way to minimize fake accounts pretending to be the platform, instance, service, and/or software. For example, the Mastodon **software** is currently being bombarded by fake accounts about "Mastodon account verification", with "Mastodon" in either their handle or display name, or both.
Other social media software and platforms should implement it as well. Of course, it is not the ultimate solution, but it at least adds another layer to enable admins and moderators to fight against scammers and phishers pretending to be official accounts or channels.
