A graphic with the a cute illustrated potato with kawaii eyes against a sunburst background. It says Ask Poe, and a chat convo to the left says "Hi" and "hello!!! potato on duty. ask away. i'm all eyes. also 90 something lexicons oin that repo of yours last i looked, so you can probably ask me something harder than hi)

A little teaser from @anisota.net's big UI redesign, featuring a dedicated desktop experience. I've finally achieved sufficient feature parity with bluesky that I can focus most of my time on completely new things. The vision from day one was to have card decks, card hands, a tabletop, and HUD.

Desktop UI redesign showing a card-based interface with five dark-themed cards fanned across a black background. Top left card labeled "mr. TIM" contains text about open source and Frontier. Center cards show "Sharon" with red heart icons, "Lyna" with a food image, and "Scoliattolo" with descriptive text. Right card displays "Bailey Townsend" with an orange heart icon and food image. Header reads "your hand · 5 cards" with "file all to..." button. Bottom text states "choose a card to act on it" with a "close" button below.

A new eclosion with new features is almost here... soon you will be able to publish self-destructing posts and apply Spells to posts to enable things like automated/conditional/timed threadgates, quote disabling, and much more... The post composer and adviser are getting big upgrades too!

Compose Post interface for Bluesky showing a post draft by user "as dame.is" with character count 165/300. The post reads: "Left the porch light on for an hour tonight. Two rosy maples, a dozen small brown moths I couldn't name, and one very confused June bug. Going to bed before they do." Below the text are four unchecked options: "Reduce negativity," "Less confrontational," "Limit topics · AI, politics," and "Writing check · typos, grammar." At the bottom, a status message states "Checking your posting goals... against 4 goals · usually a few seconds" with "Bluesky" and "Post" buttons visible.Compose Post dialog for user as dame.is showing 165/300 characters. Text reads: "Left the porch light on for an hour tonight. Two rosy maples, a dozen small brown moths I couldn't name, and one very confused June bug. Going to bed before they do." Upload progress shows "0:00 Uploading 3 images" at 62% completion. Cancel button below, Bluesky and Post buttons at bottom of dialog with gold border on dark background.

OK tried out @anisota.net as recommended by @@debbieohi.com and absolutely love it! I wish more social media was created this way, beautiful & simple, framing individual posts as if they were real human expressions. It also compelled me to look up and follow more of what I love most (comic posts)!

Apologies to everyone for the downtime we experienced late last night! We’re gonna blame it on the full moon and eclipse. Infrastructure has been upgraded just in case though!

@anisota.net isn't working properly for me and so i need to use the Bluesky app but this is how i feel about - i hate scrolling through my feed now and this UI is so awful 😂

Meme from 2020 of a classic cartoon cat (that looks like Sylvester) looking mortified at opening Microsoft Edge on his computer. Text at the top reads "when your hand slips and you accidentally open Microsoft Edge".

FULL MOON Did you know our brand logo changes every night to stay in sync with the phase of the moon? There’s a dedicated moon tracker page in the Lab as well that lets you interactively explore and preview the phases. Take a look: anisota.net/lab/moon

Full Moon, 100% lit — the Moon on Anisota

Where the Moon is right now: 14.7 days into its cycle, 391k km away, with Full Moon in 2 hours. Watch it turn around the Earth, and scrub it through the month, in the Anisota lab.

Introducing… Post Redaction Poetry In @anisota.net, there are now numerous groundbreaking ways of engaging with social media posts that are far more fun and creative than traditional quote posts, likes, and reposts. Redact any post’s words to create something new! anisota.net/profile/dame...

Profile for Ben Collins (bencollins.bsky.social) showing a redacted post with profile photo. The visible text reads: "I'm [redacted] a wet fart [redacted] and [redacted] have an [redacted] amount of money, so [redacted] Be careful out there!" White rectangular redaction blocks cover selected words throughout. Bottom shows "see the source post" link and "30 of 45 redacted" indicator. This is an example of Post Redaction Poetry, a creative engagement feature on anisota.net.

Bluesky has account lists that can be used to mute/unmute people easily & at scale… what if you could do the same with muted words? Introducing Muted Word Lists Make lists of mute words in Anisota, apply them to specific feeds, schedule them, control strength, & share with friends! anisota.net
