Bard spotting on Bluesky 17 July 2024

I've released an update to Skythread with a new feature 😈 It lets you load subthreads that were hidden because of a "nuclear block". Look for orange links like on the screenshot - the first time you click it, you'll get a warning like here, asking if you want to keep seeing those. #atdev

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

It works by looking up a list of replies (as URIs) in my own database, and then loads the actual post content from the AppView.

Limitations:

• I'm only keeping ~3 months worth of posts, so it won't work in old threads

• it won't load replies that were deleted or where the account is deactivated

Are the limitations there to keep costs down?

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

The first part yeah - 3+ months of posts is something like 80-90 GB of data, I have a 160GB VPS now and I want to leave some free space.

Second part because I just don't want to store deleted posts, and don't want to accidentally show e.g. content that they've taken down because it breaks ToS etc.

Tony Wong (@thevballdude.bsky.social):

Is there a way to do it without storing posts yourself? I thought services like this worked by simply ignoring flags.
