The likes API is free on Bluesky is a weird flex but I’ll roll with it

Call me when they let us use likes and follows to build our own algos that show up on their app. I still won't care, but at least that'll mean they're catching up to modern platforms.

Y'all are rolling with censoring people who are critical of JK Rowling and Elon Musk too, right?

Would the likes be a donation to the content and the follow be a subscription?

I can see this going south. But I can understand dealing with big tech refusing to be responsible with their platforms. So this is a sand in the eye I think.

you can explain so much of what's gone and going wrong over there with "they're restricting API access under the rationale of fighting spam"

surfdude29 @surfdude29.ispost.ing

apps can choose to show likes on a person's profile or not, as all the underlying data is public (like jack says) so an app like @graysky.app shows other people's likes, for instance, but other apps choose not to

Why do people actually *want* this tbh Like I hate Elon's X but that was the one change I kinda agreed with Back in the day I'd avoid liking/giving my support to NSFW posters because I didn't want them to end up in my followers' feeds

Can you imagine the @jcsalterego.bsky.social rage if you made the like api pay per like? Although it'd pay for at least two devs annually.

If Bluesky ever needed a cash infusion they just need to add a fee to "Jerry no" posts to fund decades of runway.

Twitter should change the api so it deletes your account that'd really make waves just make it auto delete everything thats how you make a super app

Spammers can masquerade as users with browsers, instead of using the API, and can keep spamming away. They will have to keep updating their code every time the website changes, since it will be more unstable than the API, but since they are crooks they won't follow any rules.
