i really dislike the bluesky heuristic of βiβll stop notifying you of replies downthread if you havenβt participated in the last five of themβ. i lost track of many interesting conversations (between mutuals!) this way. really disheartening and one reason twitter felt better for conversations
relistened to brat after a few weeks of sonic starvation and after half a year of not listening to brat specifically, and itβs soooo joyful and nerdy
controversial take i think it's actually good bsky lands appview-dependent features because it shows atproto supports pragmatic escape hatches that don't leak into the product in a user-visible way. i do want private state too but it's good that a product can mix and match
