I moved over to Bluesky basically the minute I could get an invite, because I could see the writing on the wall for Twitter; and there is SOME toxicity for sure, but you control how much.

Bluesky has a completely chronological feed composed singularly of accounts you follow. If you don’t follow shit-stirrers, you will not see any shit.

Having said that, they can still show up in the “comments” of skeets you’ll see, but the block system is so effective, that they are not usually showing up anyways.

To me, that is the difference between Bluesky’s moderation and other websites. Bluesky has very little official moderation, but has extremely powerful blocking tools (their blocks server connections between subskeet, there are curated block lists, atomic blocking, etc). If you subscribe to trusted and vetted block lists, you will probably never see a chud on Bluesky in your life. You do need to verify the trustworthiness of the list in advance, though…

I’m pretty late to the party here, but in case you never got to read the interview, I wanted to let you know you can use Google translate to translate whole webpages. I can’t confirm the accuracy of the translation, but it seemed like it could have been fairly accurate.

This is the link to the Google translate page, if you are interested.

Please, all I want is a microSD slot and a headphone jack. Who was asking for an Instagram camera lockscreen shortcut?

I just installed the app and so far it’s working pretty well, though if I’m being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.

In terms of features I’d be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:

1. Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
2. Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
3. Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, it’s always a welcome feature when I can find it.

Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.
