  1. It didn't take very long...

    Special thanks to @mactunag for giving me a heads-up about Bluesky's message on X from November 2025

    What I find particularly egregious is that Bluesky already had a custom feed builder: #Graze was an independent project that had proved to be super popular. They had raised a million dollars just last year! They even sponsored the AtmosphereConf last week. Then Bluesky PBC steamrolled over them and announced their own project - Attie - powered by AI... at AtmosphereConf (the event where Graze was listed as a major sponsor - you can't make this up).

    A developer for ATProto was horrified by this, writing:

    "Why would anyone fund an Atmosphere project if Bluesky, with $100 million in the bank, might ship a competing feature at any moment? Why would a founder bet their career on this ecosystem? The presentation didn't just hurt Graze. It made the entire ecosystem look unfundable."

    I am getting A LOT of heat for pointing out shady behaviors by Bluesky PBC. Even from Fedi friends. But I think it's important to be wide-eyed and consider all this mounting evidence of problematic behavior.

  2. Among other things, the Graze extension displays ALT text as a caption under images. I only boost posts with Alt text, and sometimes like to copy/paste Alt text when sharing a post, so this extension makes things easier for me even though I don't require Alt text to access content myself.

  3. Need more #BailysBeads from the #AnnularSolarEclipse last month? Hi-res deep videos (which show even the faintest ones) have now been linked from occultations.org/publications/ ("THE ULTIMATE #GRAZE, THE 2023 OCT. 14TH ANNULAR ECLIPSE AT THE S. LIMIT") - enjoy!
