I've been on Bsky for 8 months but only recently discovered the "Newskies" feed (basically - first posts, newest first). It seems very heavily weighted toward samey thirst-magnet pitches, with distinct smatterings of sketchy asks for money, and right-wing troll ragebait. I get that some amounts of all that are unavoidable on that social media format, but I'm curious if anyone who's followed Newskies for a while can say if there's been a surge in the past, say, month or so?

In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Proof of Concept | AT Protocol Handler ~ Chrome extension to open at did urls

Bluesky Thread announcement

Use: - 'at' as the keyword to put in the browser url, press space/tab to activate and then paste url!

Just to clarify this is again just a proof of concept, plus possibly a work in progress, if I think of other ways to enhance it.

Manual install at present, until it gets approved by the chrome webstore, submitted it tonight. So could be awhile before it becomes available.
