This CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) process flow chart for project approvals is a great representation of why things take so long to build in the US. Every state is mandated to have their own version of this, per the EPA

@jay.bsky.team @jeremie.com Out of curiosity, how does the Bluesky Public Benefit Corp work in terms of major organization decisions? I know that it's owned by Jay and the other Bluesky employees, but how is voting power distributed?

NYC finalized a rule requiring all food-related businesses to place their trash in secured containers to ‘stifle rats’ and keep garbage off of NYC streets.
It goes into effect on July 30, 2023.

The concept of following topics on a social network is great because it's much easier curation than finding individual people to follow, and more control over your feed than letting an algorithm pick for you.
Hence why it's my focus on projects like Agora.

@vqv.app @m3ta.uk Is the source code for vqv.app available anywhere? Would love to tinker with it!

@jay.bsky.team Just like there’s custom feeds that any user can create/import, I imagine one of the solutions to the moderation challenges can be block lists that users are free to create or share for others to import, thoughts? This way, it doesn’t fall on the instance to try to make everyone happy

Mind blowing how WWII wiped out Jewish presence in Europe

USA: 1,500,000
-Jewish populations in 2010-

Some new updates/improvements out for Agora!
- You can now follow whatever topics you want, not just the ones that show up in the auto-suggestions
- Fixed font color weirdness that Chrome users were seeing
- Simplified the sign up flow when making a new account

2023-05-04 09:31:34

Stoked to share the "Decentralized Reddit" project I’ve been working on, Agora!
It focuses on following your favorite topics rather than specific people.
It’s also a Progressive Web App, so you can install it on mobile by tapping the share button and “add to home screen”.
