I sometimes feel bad for leaving people on read when they come at me with profiles with following many but few followers, no content or posts of opinionated thought or emotion, just tons of reposts of other people's art. They look like scam/bots. In the back of my mind, "but what if they are real?"

FYI Scammers have hit Bluesky! Just a note to folks: don’t get sucked in by too-good-to-be-true offers. There’s a few scams like this (mostly phishing related). If they were legit, there’s no reason KoFi wouldn’t have been fine. I knew they WEREN’T, but I strung them along cuz it’s funny to me :3

Things are a bit congested in the blue sky. Looks like the influx of birds flying from the nest has caused this congestion. If you are having trouble writing sky messages (posts) or joining a flock (trying to follow someone), please have patience for the sky's congestion to clear up.

PSA FOR EVERYONE WANTING TO SEE FURRY ART If you want to see adult furry art. It's often tagged by the admins as "cartoon" and will automatically hide it from your feed or only have a small warning that's easy to miss. HOW TO FIX THIS: Please share so others don't miss art posts!

BY THE WAY, THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you want everyone showing up on your feeds, you gotta go into Settings > Basic > Languages and clear the Content Languages field. Essential.

Be sure to use Sky Follower Bridge to follow people you follow on X, and you can also use '/followers_you_follow' into the X url after your username if you only want mutuals. Be sure to go to BSky Settings > App Passwords to create one for the plugin so you don't give out your real password.

By now, I'm guessing most have already seen the news on our new project, Nightshade. Lots of artists sharing it, but here's the article from MIT Technology Review (tyvm to the wonderful Melissa Heikkila). This is a thread explaining Nightshade & its goals www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1...

This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models.

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button. Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm. Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.

artists! you can make your own media tab, here's how! -log in to skyfeed.app -click "feed builder" -copy the settings below, make an art tag/keyword -add an icon and a name/description, copy that link. now you can add that link in your bio, and clicking it will show ONLY your tagged art!

If any mutuals or artists need invite codes for friends or followers, hit me up.
