SkyAlert's future is not sealed yet, and thanks to it being FOSS it will never be truly dead. I will be sad if I have to make the decision to discontinue SkyAlert.

I do not know of an alternative to SkyAlert for its unfollow notification capabilities. I found out about unfollow.blue but it doesn't notify you about unfollows.

Bluesky now has its own post notifications. Sadly, Bluesky users are allowed to dictate who can watch them. SkyAlert and Twitter/X never had any limitation on who could watch who.

However, SkyAlert is open-source software. Anyone can run their own instance of SkyAlert by downloading its source code and creating their own alt account to host it. SkyAlert can run anywhere Python is available.

I'm sorry that this has been happening, and grinding SkyAlert's commands to a halt.

SkyAlert will remain online for unfollow notifications.

To ease the transition, SkyAlert will continue providing notifications until the end of the month. You can no longer edit setting related to SkyAlert's post notifications. If you wish to have all of your user watches removed from our systems, please DM @littlebitstudios.com.

This only affects THIS instance of SkyAlert. People can create alternate instances of SkyAlert using their own Bluesky accounts to host the bot.

SkyAlert is open-source, so you can keep up with its development on GitHub: github.com/littlebitstu...
