That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.
Am I the only one getting an error from the Goonsky feed?

I feel as long as Bluesky keeps the ship sailing straight, continuously improving on their platform (and allowing videos + gifs, jfc), they'll keep getting bumps in users every time twitter shits the bed due to wtv latest of Musk's antics.

Birds were huge in Japan a hundred years ago. The whole weblog thing is way overproduced these days. If I can get a few months' worth of "Blues Kentucky" laughs out of the way, I'd probably want to see what the whole Bluesky software system is all about. What a burden..

And don't forget:


It seems like Goonsky only includes direct posts from goons and not reposts from other sources. Is this intended behavior? I feel like a goon repost is still posted by that goon and should be included. It's your decision, of course; I'm just wondering.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

I prefer it to be just direct posts by goons. Feels more intimate. :mmmhmm:

It doesn’t have reposts yeah, I believe that’s an option I can toggle if people would like that, but otherwise I think it’ll probably stay as direct posts only.

been at this long enough for a proper review

sausage party still going strong when the clock ticks into the witching hours. nothing all that weird in my follows, but for whatever reason they’ve got me tagged for a hearty dose of masculine energy in the for you feed after dark

never been all that great, as is the way with wieners, but as the masses roll in the vibe has tilted noticeably towards desperation. haven’t seen a beefswelling worth so much as a raised eyebrow for awhile. artful dongers, rare before, now smothered to extinction by the rising tide of mediocre horndogging

still no politics. for you by day maintaining at mostly people posting about their cats. sadly getting far less opossum posts. thought i was curating my likes and follows for more of those—but alas, despite my best efforts, the catfluencers seem to have won out

such a bizarre mess. vast majority of the accounts i’d like to see in my feed still just placeholders

wondering what it would take to pull up from this hose dive? probably a skill issue. still not sure how i feel about this bluesky thing

I just searched for and followed a few custom feeds that only had what I wanted. There seem to be some options available:



Occasionally one of the custom feeds I mainly browse start to get poo poo up by someone but a block takes care of that pretty easily. I've completely removed all the default feeds except for following which I'm not even sure you can remove.

Not really? They're still adding improvements (that admittedly should have already been part of the site) and they added another 2 million users after opening up. The place is definitely busier than it was, and I've started seeing a couple of news agencies start to post there as well.

Sadly it's just hard to break the inertia of Twitter. People still posting there "so their stuff gets seen" even as actual engagement with said stuff drops off a cliff.

Ben Mezrich's "Breaking Twitter" is full of stories where the people who actually build and operate Twitter tell Elon to avoid doing a stupid thing and he smashes the You're Fired/I Don't Care button every time.

Jack Dorsey turned out to have been trying to recruit Elon to help right the Twitter ship for a while, though Dorsey also described what a do-over would look like and it's exactly Bluesky and federated social media.
