v1.122 is rolling out today, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. 🧵

This is part of our ongoing work to make Bluesky a great place to connect with the rest of the Atmosphere. We’re pleased to see others recently investing in making the same connections. WordPress now offers a plugin that lets any WP site publish to the network as well.

Other major improvements: You can now use YouTube, Substack, and beehiiv links to go live. We’ve also introduced a split view to chats, so you can see your other conversations while you chat.

The release also includes a rebuilt GIF picker, a refreshed photo viewer, expanded moderation labeling at the account level, and a fix for a bug that was silently dropping some iOS video uploads.

Please revert the NSFW account label thing! There is no way of knowing if clicking on a post on my dash is going to reveal an innocuous text post or giant oozing dicks. I do not want to see the latter and the previous content warning settings ensured that I could avoid them. Now it's a dice roll.

As someone who does use the phone in public and does prefer not having hard NSFW in my general-purpose art feeds, I'm theoretically the exact kind of person this is supposed to help, but this actively sabotages my attempts to moderate my feed.

Like, what's under there? Is it a risque pinup drawing, which I'm fine with seeing? Is it a giant ejaculating wiener, which I don't want to see? Surprise! It's neither! It's a regular text post complaining about this change being really poorly implemented! :(

I've shared my opinion on their official Git Hub, I suggest you all do the same if you have an account there.

I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this update.

Honestly all we needed was the ability to label text as well as images so I could wax lyrical about my love of the noble sausage without bothering anyone who doesn't want to hear about it ...

Yeah, there absence of info is v. frustrating. So many artists run mixed NSFW/SFW accounts these days, it was really nice knowing what things I can click on when I'm waiting for my tacos vs what I might only want to open in private vs what I might not want to open at all. None of that works anymore!

The sheer disconnection of Bsky's staff from their audience, or even basic common sense is astounding. Sure there are SOME accounts who only post NSFW, but the previous system of manually labelling images worked well! And if someone forgot the label? Just add a way to apply it later on!
