github.com/bluesky-social… added a new field to ipcc so you need another ublock filter `||bsky.app/ipcc$replace=/(?<="countryCode":").+?(?=")/US/` `||bsky.app/ipcc$replace=/(?<="isAgeRestrictedGeo":").+?(?=")/false/`
you cannot derive conclusions on any piece of action by "Bluesky" before knowing where it is enforced it could be any combination of the bsky.app, api.bsky.app, the bsky.network relay, the bsky.network PDSes, or bluesky-social/pds and you especially should not *doom* before knowing which it is

appviewappviewappview - after 6 months, I'm running what is, afaik, the first full-network bluesky appview - you can use it at zeppelin.social, query it at bsky.zeppelin.social, read about it at whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3..., & help me keep it up for more than a few weeks at github.com/sponsors/fut...

Uuuuh, using the news app as cover for an anonymous tip line makes so much sense!
Congratulations @lambda.bsky.social! Today @theguardian.com is launching a new way for whistleblowers to anonymously contact journalists, based on years-long research by Daniel and other colleagues. www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-of...

also cursed and fucked is the flattening out of "material analysis" to the point where people exercise no agency in embracing fascism. more or less "they just happen to face that special blend of circumstances that makes u a fascist, they can't help it, it could have happened to anyone"

the demotion of service proxying in favor of app-first optimistic writes to make writing an atproto app easier feels like ulysses going "dude cut just a couple of the coils of rope bro itll make it easier for me to hear the song if i can move a bit"
to reiterate on this, an AppView server should NOT be interposed between the user and the PDS: the client and PDS are in the user sphere of trust, but the service is adversarial. the PDS is the most important write sink and should be primary, since an app can't be trusted to not shut off PDS writes
