Is the badge still rolling out on profiles? I see it on my own profile but not on other profiles.

my hot take is that blue checkmarks broke a lot of people's ability to do any sort of critical thinking on whether something is true/trustworthy

Nice, I was using search api and that got disabled from external origins

It was a fun exercise to put together so it’ll probably stay that way 🤣

How are you implementing the relevant post detection? Server side rendering? I sadly couldn’t do it directly in static Astro easily so I had to spin up a whole metadata service to watch the jetstream and feed it to a database 🫠

We can joke about the Dodgers and people will be mad that they're "ruining baseball" (which they absolutely are not), but the Guggenheim Group and the Andrew Friedman-led front office has spent more than a decade building this organization into one that players want to go to.

Super cool to see @aturi.to links already being used by other atproto projects or atproto-enabled features — Jack added them to his website’s bluesky comments section which is a perfect place for them!
