A California company that uses cloudflare? Some day someone will say my chicken can lay E2EE eggs
Sounds like a really convenient and easy way to manage contacts with new IRL friends! I will not be downloading this, ever. But I think it's cool that something like this is being developed. Could be great for a dating app.
Y'all need to get it through your thick heads that your userbase isn't a bunch of tech bros No one wants this. We just want private accounts and to send images in DMs
How about private accounts if your so concerned with keeping it private
I don’t want germs. Bring back quang you shouldn’t have suspended him
I am still hoping for a feature that allows us to remove unwanted followers without having to block or mute do polls edit turn off individual RTs thank you for trying to improve things for us
Why do you need a separate app in order to send dms to someone?
👇🙏👍
PLEASE can we have a properly functioning landscape layout for tablets, rather than what we have now. X way ahead of you on this ☹️. Thank you
Hola
what about sending images and gifs through chat?
Have you used any AI models to attempt a break in the encryption?
I want an edit button
Is this a way to tell us your not gonna do it yourself? We want everything in one app, preferably the official one! If we need to switch between apps to have all functionalities, what the point? Make us leaving Bluesky? Because the public know "Bluesky" and don't f*ck*ng care about the protocol!
and still no pictures in dms ok
*Please* *Pretty please with cream and sugar on* Can we just get an edit function? (Even if it has an audit trail of changes)
Thanks so much for posting about something everyone can use! So excited to try it!!
Are we bracing for government intrusion?
but you cant add something as simple as an edit button?
Wtf this even means
Where do you come up with this crap? I have never heard of this. 😹😹😹
And when are we getting private accounts or media support for DMs here?
we want square icons!!!
We just want private accounts.
Did you ask ChatGPT for the most useless feature that nobody asked for? Is this also vibecoded or you finally hired engineers to do the work?
wtf is germ
Don't throw the phone being shown in the pool
When an edit button and you can send images to DMs?
Love it!
Blue Sky and the logo is a butterfly. Its the only thing I dont like about your product... Is the dam logo. If only yous considered a better sky logo that made sense.. but yeah this app is fresh no bots no bs.
I thought there was a hair on my screen... It was just the arrow.
Are there any plans to receive feedback from the community?
Private accounts, please. Nobody cares this.
I dont fucking care
God you people are suspicious !
Nice, but the question is — When is germ gonna be available on Android?
still no photos in DMs though huh
Bluesky quando que você irá trazer a função de remover seguidor e privar o perfil ?
Wait... Are messages here not encrypted??
this is so useless omg give us private accounts + fire vibe coders
Nice
LOL tired of getting doxxed, comrades?
Use wave better than germ on every angle We are E2EE, Decentralized with Zero Tracking. We have groups too. You can send photos also. In next update launching disappearing messages too.
*incorrect loud buzzer Try again please.
Thanks for saving our privacy Bluesky Can’t wait to have this app to have all privacy features
But are you protecting users data and not arbitrary banning us?
PLEASE LET US HAVE PRIVATE ACCOUNTS?!?!?!?!
Oh okay
I guess I'd be happy if I knew what this means.
What
no one asked for this im sorry
I simply do not care
Wasn't this added a while ago?…
Okay, but what are you doing about bigots and the harassment of marginalized groups? Other than directly aiding it, that is.
This good, and I feel I like the idea.
GIVE US MORE WAYS TO CONNECT BY ADDING GROUPCHATS
Forgive me if I sound like a boomer, but:
Can you please just add picture sharing to dms already 😭 I ain't asking for much
Edit button.
Can we get private accounts?
Can you guys work on something in your suggestion box or idk, fix the CSS on the navigation bar in mobile
I thought this feature was about being able to private your account Would be more useful than this
Cold you add edit button, pleasee
I'm sorry, but... why can't you just implement this into DM's? We have to get some other dumb app in order to send images to each other in a DM?
Man y'all will do everything except add private accounts. I don't even know what any of this means.
give me a dislike button and your soul will be mine
what
how about images in private messages instead of all this dorky shit no one cares about
Still no images in DMs? :(
I just want to edit and be able to send medias through DMs
As long as it's just available for iOS
can you send images through germ DMs
This is great and all, but I would *really* like the ability to edit my posts after the fact, to correct embarassing typos and the like. Is this on the board for the future?
bro who cares. who asked for this.
ngl, I think the vibe coding has to be put down, and the infrastructure here seriously improved before integrating with other apps. Even if integration is par for the course for the fediverse, you should still ensure you have a stable software BEFORE poking holes in it so to speak.
What is this junk why do you call cloud2cloud E2E?
Getting my hopes up for no reason lmao
Screw anyone who doesn't have a smartphone I guess
We want the soft block. PLEASE.
❤️
cool anyway PRIVATE ACCOUNTS NOW PLS
Do you really care about privacy when you auto - ban accounts that interact on your platform using a VPN? I'm on my third account now, after catching two instant bans the very first time I sent a direct message while connected to a VPN. I filed appeals for both, which were summarily ignored.
Anything but private accounts, or media in DMs, or an edit button….
🤔
Is that only available on the bsky app? Not for browsers?
Who else wants: - Groups feature (with settings such as "open group - anyone can comment", "only members can comment", "private - members only") - Ability to set accounts private? - Post edit feature (with edit history) for typos/correcting mistakes. ??
This, but Signal please
Yes, yes, promote a feature from the company handle that only works on iOS right now and actively mocks Android users. I know it's not your fault, Bluesky (except the taunting), but oh my God, @germnetwork.com, you're killing me here! 😂
Thank you, just missing a livestream app you will own the social media app world.
Sorry for bother you, when there is an editing feature?
Right idea now just make it Bluesky's default feature and assure people you won't use their data for AI training. Ya'll will drown in new members and money.
When imagen on DMs?
👍
What a useful news it would be if Germ was not an iOS only application. Yet, today it feels just advertisement spam for something that's not even accessible.
Maybe add a way for smaller accounts to get noticed??
Give them ALL your info to be sure!
That’s cute but, where’s our “edit” button? I’m tired of deleting any comment/post due i typed a small misspelling mistake
Death to social media.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Sooooooo only for iPhone....curious.🤔
why do you guys still keep doing useless shit instead of adding really cool features that we ask every freakin' time?😩
But I don't wany to launch Germ’s E2E encrypted messaging from Bluesky profiles. I want to edit my typos out of my posts.
This is no help at all. All I currently need is for my accounts to work without them being verified to make it easy for me to make and quote posts!
Huzzah.
Nice!
So many of you all behaving like spoiled children / Karens who want to speak to the manager in the comments, it’s incredible
What does this mean translated to English? 😕
more useless gobbledegook when we can't even do the basics like * pictures in DMs * turn off individual RT * edit button
The android depicted in the img gave me false-hope. (∩︵∩) got my whole ass. Looking forward to germ's droid-day.
Encrypted messaging from profiles appears less about privacy and more about consolidating user data streams into a natively controlled ecosystem.
Bluesky devs
post editing / scheduling ?
Anything but what people actually want or ask for lmao
We can’t even DM images yet man
nobody asked for this. give us private accounts.
Return the feature on the mobile app allowing us to forward posts in DMs without captions required
Fix the bug where refreshing the feed changes the content language — one refresh, one new language.
Cool. When do we get to turn off reposts on a per account basis?
Very private indeed...
That's great, but if you can fix the chat function first, I'd be a happy camper. Fundamentals!
Why no images in DMs
i for one am excited about this!
So many new features and yet still we wait and wait for the ability to retain last read position in timeline when opening or refreshing the app. Vital feature especially when following events in real time. Needs to be a priority.
Make the app prettier pleaseeeeee
Proprietary shit only on apple devices
I don't even know what this means? Can you please add things that aren't so specialized and instead focus on basic functionality that everyone can use. Please?!?
Germ?
why not just make DM E2E ?
Would love to see an option for @signal.org (or whatever messaging app of choice, @alexbenzer.com). Would encourage Bsky/brand loyalty from the big messaging apps, like Signal, like Line in Japan, WeChat in China etc & encourage more people in these regions to use Bsky. + helps be anti-Meta 🙌
I thought this was private profiles for a second. That's what people actually want.
We literally just want to be able to send pics in DMs
Could we be provided a way of turning off "trending" topics. It's too much like Twitter for my taste.
They still don't have an Android app so it's kind of annoying this keeps getting promoted honestly
😜
After Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social posted my tweet to @bsky.app about TikTok censorship, Bluesky censored my account and are requesting that i unfollow people despite having over 200,000 followers
They asked for edits. But they refused.
another dub example of federated networking
GIVE US PRIVATE ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!
Fix the site first as it's slow, laggy and error prone. Also increase character limit for posts, and for dms.
LFG!!
I have literally no need for that, but edit functionality that is requested by 90% of the users is still not on the timeline.
Who actually has that app?
You should make it more like x.
Still waiting for the option to send images in private messages. I'm testing a new app for Google Play, and the testers, who are all from Bluesky, can't send me images to comment on improvements, suggestions, or bugs.
you also demand I submit my drivers license to be vetted by some random company that's gonna sell that data down the road.
bluesky its not that hard to add an edit button. if i make a mistake i have to delete and repost my post fixing the spelling error
Sounds too much like a viri or bacteria. A "germ" needs to be eradicated. Feature request implemented: Edit Button => NO Images in DM's => NO Who asked for this E2EE integration on a "social" platform? NO ONE. Sounds rather ludicrous? Then it most likely is.
As I see, people are asking: Private Accounts; Medias trough DMs; Edit their posts. Who asked for this? What even is this?
Thanks, Bluesky! Log in with any Atmosphere account for end-to-end encrypted messaging right from your profile. Get it all set up in Germ DM, available now for iOS with more support in the works. apps.apple.com/us/app/germ-...
hey bluesky you forgot to used views that like normal twitter and also new settings everyone who follow that hastag or somthing so can you make update please?
Tiled media tab.
Ahh more useless shite. We need to open the app where we left off, not at most recent then reverse chronologically scroll down you dumbasses
No idea what you just said.
Why am I having so much difficulty adding a simple gif to my posts on my Android phone but it's so simple on my PC?
I imagine Timothy Shallot really knows his onions.
why not make the age thing optional for dms please let use pick to use it or not @bsky.app
Why not integrate Signal instead? As far as I'm aware that app is a closed-source VC funded company and there is no proof that the messages are even encrypted?
PICTURES IN DMS YOU NERDS
👀
Never did get the Mastodon bridge to work…
Please Bluesky, I know there are some people who want these weird updates you make. BUT PLEASE!! Listen to the the community as well, you're making too much niche updates and focusing even less on the majority of the people that pratically MADE this platform be the way it is!!!
Brooo we asked for private Bluesky accounts and edit button, wtf is this?? 😭😭😭 Tf is an Atmosphere app anyways?? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seriously?! You’re working on this obscure stuff but you can’t fix the fact that jumping out of a thread and back sends you back to the newest post? 🤦🏻♀️
