It's been three days since I haven't been able to verify my domain as a handle after getting a "invalid username" out of nowhere. I constantly get a "Failed to verify handle. Please try again." Tried again, I did, many times. Who should I tag to get help? @bsky.app #Bluesky #InvalidHandle

So, I'm late to the party and clueless as a rule, so what's the deal with #Bluesky ?
Last December I started a #bluesky account just to have a look around. Didn't appealed to me b/c, you know, so twitter 2015, and I 've been over that outrage thing for a quite while, so I never bothered to use it. Apparently today was a good day to delete the damn thing, so there, it was worthwhile after all. Always happy to help, you're welcome :-)
I'm hearing that some people are leaving #Bluesky (enshittification has started) and are joining enshittification-proof #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. If you're tempted but don't know where to start, I can help. The place has a reputation to be difficult to get started, but honestly, it's not. ⤵️
So Bluesky staff refuses to protect & even actively goes out of its way to suppress trans people & Palestinians but has decided... *checks notes* ... AI slop posters are a protected category

Anyone giving #Mastodon another go after the current #bluesky... uh developments, I'm happy to report that they appear to have (finally) fixed the issue where the server wouldn't search the fediverse for other replies, so you'd get:
- 0-1 replies on everyone else's posts
- 500 people replying the same thing on your post
night and day difference. that one little oversight made it feel like it was a wasteland, until you asked a question and then a million people seemingly reply-guyed out of nowhere
Before you go acting superior about #BlueSky banning somebody maybe find out why.
The guy sent a picture of Charlie Kirk seconds before getting shot in the neck to someone with the caption "A negative consequence follows."

With each migrant flow it always feels like when my mom tells me to dress and behave nice because the visits are about to arrive, and the place looks like a slaughterhouse with blood and entrails all over the walls and floor, but I'm dressed like it's my First Communion with a big smile.

This is for anyone excessively ruminating, which is basically a good chunk of you folks on Bluesky and Mastodon. Excessive rumination is a negative, neurotic symptom of prodromal schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. Ritualistic behavior, religious preoccupation, obsessions, and compulsions are also symptoms of a crisis. Please log off and contact someone trained in mental health crises. You are about to enter a crisis where you may hurt yourself or others. Please, get off social […]Bluesky users arriving thinking there's no shitposting here.
Welcome #BlueSky folk! Don’t be shy, the water is great! 🐘
So apparently moderation lists are now being reported as violations of community guidelines.
My account on Bluesky’s got a huge moderation list for American liberals wanting to unilaterally turn Puerto Rico into a state. I’m expecting it to be reported any time soon.

Best paragraph by @bruno in this thoughtfully written piece about #Bluesky:
> When people say 'decentralized social media', most people think of #Mastodon, or more properly the #ActivityPub protocol that Mastodon implements. But AT Proto is not really decentralized in the same way as ActivityPub. People don't necessarily realize this because if you try to explain to someone how AT Proto works, they immediately go to sleep, but let's try anyway.
Okay, just the fact that someone who used to work for the #Bluesky team is actively promoting the insulting of others as some kind of cute inside joke is actually making me want to close my Bluesky account for good. I DRAW the line at profanity-laced insults portrayed in a positive connotation.
This is exactly what I was complaining about here (not the proof, just my take on such behavior): https://social.lol/@untilted/115307267422745117
