Hey gang,
Long time no see!
I was not able to work a lot on #DhaagaApp this year.
But, I have been doing a lot of catching up this entire month.
I am slowing down on the experimentation phase and focusing on ironing out the existing modules and features.
The app will also receive official #bluesky support before this #christmas !
Also, check out these cool app skins, which will also be included:
Im Januar 2026 will #eurosky loslegen. Sich das Video anzuschauen, die Website aufmerksam lesen, kann helfen zu verstehen, wo die Reise los geht. ❗
#DhaagaUpdates v0.19.0 will be out tonight 🎉
✨ We can use #bluesky without any major hiccups
✨ Most features have been updated for #atproto compatibility
✨ We can now preview likedBy/sharedBy from the timeline itself
✨ In previous versions, this used to popup a sorry message
Here is a showcase of those features, as well as how to activate the #christmas themes 🎄
Do keep in mind that due to licensing issues, the lite edition will lack the wallpapers.
So, use obtainium or the play store.
12 hours later I tried requesting for a 2FA disable email code and #Bluesky is still not sending any emails. Now counting 36 hours.I can receive emails just fine as shown in the screenshot. In addition, it also shows Bluesky did not send any email because it would've appeared in the logs.HELP!
Just a reminder, if you no longer hear from me from this account, it is because I was locked-out. #Bluesky is _not_ sending two-factor authentication emails to me since December 21, 2025 and I haven't heard from @support.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy because of their DMARC policy.See @sera.is.youronly.one temporarily
If they can’t see what we say, it’s not #federation.
If they can’t follow us, it’s not federation.
If it requires account duplication, it’s not federation.
@mosseri and the rest of you. #Threads, #bluesky, i’m talking to you. But you shut your ears, because all these tricks are ones you need. To continue your data-thieving business model.
The #GreatDataHeist of 2024, that’s you. Trying to do it to us, candidly, but I pay my dues in money, not privacy.
#fediverse, or don’t
📺 The #WatchPartyCalendar 📅 is out extra early this week 'cos I have places to go & turkeys to eat.
🦋 #Bluesky & #Fediverse 🐘🦣 have LOTS on 11/27-12/6 (Wed-Fri) 🦃
🚨 Note SPECIAL EVENTS!

This is a test post to see if #BridgyFed is showing my posts to #Bluesky properly. In lieu of native federation between #Mastodon and Bluesky, this might be pretty cool, if it works as advertised.
Ist #Bluesky das bessere #X? Wir haben die Technik angeschaut, und einen Vergleich gezogen. Und verraten, was Trump mit Bluesky zu tun hat #dnip https://dnip.ch/2024/12/04/deep-dive-zu-bluesky-die-technische-sicht/
I refused to join Bluesky and Threads because unlike Mastodon, they are operated by for-profit entities.
Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter and advocated for Muskrat to buy it.
Threads is a Meta company.
No. Way. In. Hell. was I signing up.
I've never regretted joining Mastodon in the years since I left Twitter.
I've had more meaningful engagement here than I ever did after spending over 12 years on the bird site.
#BlueSky isn't decentralised or federated. The outage yesterday is the obvious proof. It may *look* decentralised and they definitely love to outsource traffic and storage costs by claiming that running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) is somehow something federated, but that's all smoke and mirrors. You have to go deep on [1] to find "networking through Relays instead of server-to-server" as their current implementation choice. THEY run the relays. No one else.

Great piece on BlueSky and enshittification by @pluralistic. “I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will.”

Hi @rocksky.app@bsky.brid.gy , is there an option to login with an App Password? I need to refresh my session so I can scrobble but #Bluesky stilu hasn't fix the issue about them not sending 2FA emails to me, almost 10 days now. 😭 My only option is to use an app password.
Come find me on #bluesky I’m much more active there & would love to connect with you there! Rabbijill.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/rabbijill.bsky.social
Angeblich gibt es wieder einmal eine Welle des #TwitterExodus. Eigentlich müsste es #xExodus heißen, denn #Twitter war mal etwas anderes als X. Viele verlassen angeblich #X, aber sie kommen nicht ins #Fediverse sondern wechseln zu #bluesky, eine Art Twitter ohne Nazis. Ob sich dieser Traum erfüllt, ist die eine Frage. Ich finde diese Entwicklung gar nicht so schlimm. Leute, die das Gleiche wie Twitter wollen, werden im Fediversum nicht heimisch werden.
🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Looks like Bluesky doesn’t set lang attribute on (my bridged from here) posts. ¹ Not good as that can affect font rendering.
¹ At least I can’t see any, but with the website being a JS salad…
I am on BlueSky as @codeyarns.bsky.social 🦋
I'm disabling Bridgy Fed on this account (at least for now) -- if you're at risk of harassment, consider doing the same
Harassment has increased significantly on Bluesky over the last week (which tends to be what happens when a site's moderators find an excuse not to take actionn against a coordinated anti-trans harassment campaign, but that's another story). Bluesky blocklists provide some protection, but unfortunately there's no way for fedi accounts to subscribe to Bluesky blocklists or labelers. So there's basially no protection for bridged accounts.
I haven't yet hard any reports of harassment getting directed at bridged accounts ... but then again if somebody on Bluesky who hasn't opted in to Bridgy fed is spewing hate speech in bridged posts replies, we wouldn't necessarily know about it. So, better safe than sorry.
If you're currently bridging to Bluesky consider doing the same! You can disable Bridgy Fed by blocking @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy -- here's the FAQ https://fed.brid.gy/docs#opt-out
Here's the bug I just filed in the Bridgy Fed Github. https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1632
Bridgy Fed's development is very resource constrained right now; as far as I know it's still just @snarfed.org working on it part-time, and they've had their hands full just keeping up with the increased load. So, not sure how quickly they''ll be able to respond.
EDIT updated with the FAQ on how to opt-out, as well as the correct instructions.
WRT #BlueSky: I know some people are getting a lot of mileage out of it, and I don't want to detract from that.
But whenever I log in after having been away for more than a couple of hours, I almost universally have to block a bot. Sometimes several. I feel like I spend more time blocking bots than interacting with humans.
And that's on top of the fact that blocking a user doesn't remove them from your followers list. At least, thankfully, they've started hiding blocked accounts on your publicly-viewable followers list, but this still artificially inflates follower counts. And there are still no polls, no way to increase max post length, etc.
Don't get me wrong, there are also some good things that Mastodon and other Fedi services could bear adopting (access controls for replies, quote boosts, etc). But still. Bots everywhere. Plus the fact that _here_ is where my posts actually get boosted, even on my other account with only 30some followers.
I'm not going to delete BlueSky, but for now, #Mastodon and the #Fediverse really are where it's at.
Geen #Facebook, geen #Instagram, geen #Threads, geen #Twitter/X, geen #Bluesky, geen #Tumblr, geen #TikTok, geen #Snapchat, geen #Pinterest, geen #Redit en alleen #Linkedin en #Mastodon.
En zonder #Google kom je met een Android telefoon niet ver dus helaas die nog even aanhouden.
Helaas nog wel #WhatsApp en daar vanaf gaan is erg lastig. Is mijn ervaring een aantal jaar geleden. Kom maar naar #Signal, zeg ik vaak.
He hecho un vídeo sencillito y comprensible (espero) sobre la importancia de salir de #Twitter y también cómo abrirse un #Mastodon intentando eliminar los prejuicios de que "es muy difícil".
Para que lo podáis compartir con vuestros círculos que aún necesiten un empujón.
