Apologies, my previous post is wrong!! So we just aren't doing that. We're preserving our app as a space for E2EE messaging.

I think I understand what you're asking - can we pull Bluesky DMs inside of Germ.

But actually the premise is wrong - Bluesky DMs are a centralized feature, so other apps cannot pull their DMs.

That's a major benefit of moving your DMs to an interoperating app like Germ

Guys PLEASE read Algorithms of Oppression

It’s about the information architecture of a WWW shaped by the power of ads and porn in a misogynist and anti-Black world

The web we then fed into LLMs.

This is AMAZING!!! Congratulations @devingaffney.com and @graze.social !!!

As I've built more feeds, i've run into the inability to build one that is personalized for whomever uses it. I'm SO excited to play with personalized feeds for myself and the @germnetwork.com community as this rolls out.
