Paul Frazee: Fuuuck I wish that wasnt such a good point

What's next for Bluesky? We're working on some of your most requested features: DMs, video, improved Custom Feeds, better anti-harassment features, and a new login tool called "OAuth" Check out the roadmap here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Product Roadmap - Blueskybsky.social What’s coming next? Over the next few months, we’ll be introducing some long-requested features.

Can DM be made selective, so you can choose who can DM you?

Yes! We'll start with 3 things you can choose from: off, people you follow, or anyone

And the default will be people you follow, is that correct?

We've been discussing this and I don't want to talk out of turn, but of the 3 options do folks generally feel that would be the best default?

Off because there will likely be some bug that crops up in the future that temporarily defaults everyone to the default, and Off both highlights the bug when it happens and keeps people that have it off for safety reasons safe.

Fuuuck I wish that wasnt such a good point

One of the few bugs that you know will appear from time to time, so might as well design for when rather than hoping it doesn’t occur.

Fail closed is often the right policy in many circumstances
