A lot has happened since the previous newsletter over a month ago. [IPFS Thing took place in Brussels](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-thing-recap/), we created a [Bluesky](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-on-bluesky/) account, [Brave released automatic NFT backups to IPFS](https://brave.com/nft-pinning/), [content blocking can now be enabled in Kubo](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-content-blocking-for-the-ipfs-stack/), plus so much more! Read on to catch up with whats happened in the ecosystem over the last few weeks.
## **Recap: IPFS Thing 2023 🔄**
The IPFS implementers community recently gathered in Brussels, Belgium for the second year of [IPFS þing](https://2023.ipfs-thing.io/), an annual gathering dedicated to advancing IPFS implementation. With 12 tracks and over 75 talks, demos, and sessions, the 5-day summit that occurred in April 2023 was a showcase of recent advances across IPFS, a forum for sharing needs from the protocol, and an opportunity to chart new directions for the future of IPFS.

## **Brand New on IPFS ✨**
**[IPFS is now on Bluesky!](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-on-bluesky/)**
* Were excited to share that IPFS now has an official presence on [Bluesky](https://blueskyweb.xyz/)! We chose[ ](https://twitter.com/bluesky)Bluesky because it shares many of the same values and goals that the IPFS ecosystem has. Additionally, they actively utilize IPLD and content addressing. [Read more about it](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-on-bluesky/)!
**[Content Blocking for the IPFS stack is finally here!](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-content-blocking-for-the-ipfs-stack/)**
* Traditionally, content blocking within the IPFS ecosystem has been performed only at the IPFS gateway level and directly in Nginx, using something called the "Badbits denylist" — but now it can be enabled in Kubo & other tools in the IPFS stack too! [Check out the blog post for more info.](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-content-blocking-for-the-ipfs-stack/)
**[What happens when half of the network is down?](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-unresponsive-nodes/)**
* The IPFS DHT experienced a serious incident in the beginning of 2023, but users hardly noticed thanks to the power of a decentralized network. [Read all about it in a new incident report!](https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-ipfs-unresponsive-nodes/)
**[IPFS Principles](https://specs.ipfs.tech/architecture/principles/)**
* As mentioned above, IPFS recently joined a new social media network called [Bluesky](https://blueskyweb.xyz/) because it shares many of the same values that the IPFS ecosystem has. But what are those values exactly? You can [read all about IPFS Principles in a new specs doc](https://specs.ipfs.tech/architecture/principles/) edited by[ Robin Berjon](https://twitter.com/robinberjon).
