TFW you browse the Fediverse to confirm that #Bluesky is down. 😏

I think we should be checking YOUR internet connection, not mine, Bluesky

Present thought
Mastodon's the right model. But to be truly *useful* politcally - the Bluesky/Mastodonian idea of "we will make our safe space over here" might be pleasant for many and that's fine
But they're not healthy for useful political discourse, which is often ugly, but generates the necessary talk.
The discussions I'm seeing on Twitter/threads e.g. left v. liberal are finally getting "good." (among others)

So far I don't care for how I have activityPub integrated in to #tvmarks. It tried to be a full activityPub app but I think I just want to oauth with mastodon/bluesky and make post updates to the authed account.
I guess maybe this will mess up the idea of being able to reply to a post and it shows up on the website as a comment? I'm not sure, but I'm thinking about it.

Because I am on Eurosky's PDS, I was able to log in via blacksky.community and was able to post. No profile/header banner imagesthough.

Wapenstilstand tussen de VS en Iran: Trump deinst vlak voor deadline terug en moet desastreuze oorlog nu als succes verkopen
Oorlog Midden-Oosten: Opluchting overheerst nu Trump een wapenstilstand verkiest boven oorlogsmisdaden. Maar vooral Iran wint bij de door Pakistan bewerkstelligde gevechtspauze. Ook een echt akkoord zal de politieke en internationale schade niet repareren.
