A Personally Significant Bluesky Moment (scalzi.com)
Today marks a significant day in my personal history of social media, because today’s the day the Bluesky officially became the site where I have the largest number of followers I’ve ever had on any social media site: 206,700 as of this morning. Not Taylor Swift or John Cena numbers, but a perfectly respectable number for a nerd who writes science fiction.

Bluesky seems to be caching the DNS TXT result indefinitely (github.com/bluesky-social)
I previously had an account with the handle @vagasprajr.com.br, but I deleted it. Now, I'm trying to use the same domain for a new account's custom handle, but Bluesky keeps using the old TXT record settings.

Private School Labeler on Bluesky (simonwillison.net)
I am utterly delighted by this subversive use of Bluesky's labels feature, which allows you to subscribe to a custom application that then adds visible labels to profiles.
