Post · Spark Social

The GoToSocial post import tool, slurp, now supports BlueSky post and media imports, backdated and all. I even used a custom PDS.

I'll do a write up at some point.

The most suprising thing, which probably should not have been a surprise - all your BlueSKy posts and media are completely public, and you can grab ANYONE's collection of posts and media if you want....no auth required.

@box464 do people not know that? It's a fundamental assumption of the protocol that everything is public and immutable. but it would explain some of the way people react to bsky if that aspect isn't landing

@box464 Can i use this to grab my bsky posts?

i've been trying to grab all of my bsky posts from before they suspended me

but the "scrapers" i've tried haven't worked - i assume bc the account is banned

can this help get my stuff back from bsky? they've given nothing

@WorldTravelerAll7 If they've blocked your posts from the public stream, this would not work, sorry. Can you log into your BlueSky account? There is an export option in the menus.
