Atari BBS Gateway - Connected to BlueSky - SySop Alert!
Over the last few weeks, I have been testing and now finalized a direct post from the Atari BBS Gateway to BlueSky. Bluesky is a decentralized microblogging social media platform that looks and functions very similarly to X (formerly Twitter). It is designed to be an open, user-controlled alternative to traditional, corporate-owned social networks.
So what does this mean for sysops and users? First, as a BBS is selected from the Atari BBS Gateway, it is published as you will see below: The Atari BBS, Address, etc. This helps make the awareness of the Gateway and your BBS available to BlueSky users. It also will advise users when someone heads over to the Chat app so you know when we have people in the chat room or playing multiplayer games.
So why BlueSky and not some other outlet - Hey, its free and has an API thats easy to use.. Your feeback welcomed, questions, etc..
