One of Bluesky's superpowers is custom feeds. Unlike certain other platforms where we're at the mercy of black box algorithms, we control our own timelines here. A new favourite: QUIET POSTERS, which highlights posts from those who don't post frequently, so I'm sure to see their content. 💙🦋 #kidlit

Honestly I thought it would be higher, but it's probably because it's the weekend, and because the story's still developing. I've also provided an "x-ray" view for today where you can much more clearly see the jump. I think there'll be increased activity *for a while*, though, esp. into the week.

Hi there @nickwrightdata.ntw.app what are you seeing in terms of increased posting activity? I imagine that a normal trend of activity that is being disrupted.

Found some good BlueSky data from @jaz.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jaz....

activity still holding pretty steady at 75 likes/reposts/posts per second will probably trickle off over the next 3-4 hours as people who aren't always online check the news

I think I understand your perspective but I am going to trust the inventor of the web when he says there is a need for a greater decentralized web. He's even attended the predecessor to Dweb camp.

If it is irl then local community and friends on the lookout for the stalker can help manage the stress. Having friends and community easily/quickly available makes for a better in general, if a contact in Austin is of help lmk.

Growing up I felt the same way! And I still do support my public library. I’ve also recently found that better words books has a great inexpensive selection!

Ongoing ddos disruptions have carried over from the weekend. Updates will be posted by @archive.org

Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable. We are working on it & will post updates in comments.
