My automation turned itself off without my realizing 😔 should never have gone offline!

Unfortunately that's correct. I looked into fixing this a while back but didn't get around to it. I'll open a ticket.

“And sometimes these features did briefly integrate into a higher-order unity, as letters integrate into words, words into sentences. But like words dissolving into sentences, sentences into paragraphs and plots, combining these elements into a face required forgetting them….” - Ben Lerner, 10:04

@wiki-potd.bsky.social oddly has seen follow growth pretty much flatline in the last month or two… kinda odd

Hey thanks! Glad the community here enjoys photos from Wikipedia as much as I do.

hah okay so this bot is gettin popular and now it's time to start keeping track of how it's going......... new 🐛s to squash.

I hope that @bsky.app soon adds support for videos... it'd be great to get the videos of they day post reliably...

maybe it's time to bring back the twitter version...

so, I haven't checked bluesky in a WHILE, and I just looked at my @wiki-potd.bsky.social account, which has 5k followers all of a sudden! That's wayyyy more popular than the Twitter one ever was.

Thanks for the support! Hopefully people enjoy having better access to the photos. I love them.

calling the service "AirBnB" is completely ludicrous. I have never once gotten breakfast at one and I doubt I ever will

I mean overall the whole thing is like Mastodon... but it adds back "the algorithm"... and visible likes... and implicit content promotion... which, maybe they're black boxes... or whatever... but I like it! they find people and things and content that I'm interested in and funnel it to me
