my mom just asked me if my NAS is like "data centers" and after i explained how small-form personal servers worked, she said "okay, that's fine. but if the water bill starts going up, we're going to city council." my mother is 60. yall, AI is so cooked

Thank youuu 😩 This helps

if, for WHATEVER REASON, blacksky were to shutdown or disappear tomorrow, YOU COULD MOVE YOUR ACCOUNT BACK TO BLUESKY OR ANOTHER SERVER WITH NO DOWNTIME that's the difference between atproto (bluesky/blacksky) and twitter: you OWN your account/data

Question then… If blacksky happens to shut down, because it’s connected to bluesky, would my bluesky malfunction? This is all i need to kno before migrating my account I’m a bit confused how there’s a whole new logo & website if it’s technically bluesky I just can’t afford for my art to disappear

my account is hosted on blacksky 😘 this post was made on the official blacksky android application 💅 talk to me nice 😤

you don't need to make a new account you can use @move.blacksky.community to migrate your bluesky account to blacksky; it'll keep your followers, posts, and everything associated with your account intact more info on the official blacksky docs: docs.blacksky.community/info-about-b...

if you're having issues with the blacksky app beta, let the team know! random posts make it difficult to log and replicate the issue 😭 but you can report issues through the application itself! here is a quick video recording showing the process 😇

since our public beta launch many have asked - what is Blacksky and how is it different from Bluesky? here’s the short answer. we’ll share more in a longer article this week 🙏

Blacksky features that set us apart from Bluesky; - Community only posts: Blacksky.app users can share posts only for each other to see - Human, community-centered moderation: The 1st social media app to moderate for anti-Black harassment, misogynoir, ableism & fatphobia

i still currently believe that free and open-source software bundled with self-hosted options are the only sustainable path forward for content creators longterm we should be educating and sharing knowledge on these tools now more than ever

i am so thankful i transitoned off of twitch almost half a decade ago in 2021 leaving early means i not only escaped the current exponential enshittification, but by merit of being first, i also was able to reap the rewards of not dealing with dilluded visibility mass migrations suffer from

"One launch dominated the week's engagement" "Blacksky's mobile app hit public beta: By engagement this was the biggest ATProto story of the week, by a wide margin — roughly ten times the reach of anything else. iOS TestFlight and Android are both open."

Thanks to this suggestion, you can now schedule updates to @attie.ai pages to build your own personal newsletter about whatever it is you care about ❤️ attie.ai/@brittanyell...

imma be real petty this year bc i didnt see a single dollar from them in the opencollective, even though they felt comfy talkin bout blacksky despite not being black 😘 stay tuned 😊

dapurplesharpie@sharpiepls.com · 4mo ago

i had better see some donations from the dev who ran their mouth about blacksky using AI on open collective by the end of the month or i will be very loud on the TL 😇

one of the perks to critical thought is that you are very rarely blindslighted 🥰 (the OP is about twitch's announcement to start using streams to train amazon AI, which DUH that's why amazon has been keeping twitch data for cheap this whole time)

I think this is yet another instance of "we should've paid attention to @sharpiepls.com" when she switched to the ATproto streaming platform

hi, niche content creator here. i have to maintain a full-time job in tech bc even at my peak during 2021 when i had over 300 subscribers on twitch and several sponsorship deals, i still did not make enough to pay my rent exclusively through content and DON'T get me started on medical benefits lol

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · last wk.

Is this why people think BS followers equates to cash.

its been two years since my hair's last silk press and, even though i just got my hair braided, i think imma take a hot comb to it when these braids come out to see my real length

this is more of a PSA to my atproto dev friends who don't understand, but posts like these mean that gamers are moving to the platform in flocks and is a healthy sign. for my FGC followers, i hope yall had fun at Beach Episode! can someone send me the anime bracket vods?
