"anti-communism week"? are we serious?

sigh i keep pissing people off without meaning to

i get why we passed prop 50 but it irritates me that we're literally giving the legislature the power to gerrymander

the ship of theseus is about gender if you think about it too hard

so im picking up murmurs of some kind of discourse around. what. decentralization? data portability? moderation? etc, again? what's going on exactly? a quick rundown would be nice

whats up chat

the offlinemaxxing naturecel has logged on

for you algorithm is so good. nicely done @spacecowboy17.bsky.social

likes are fairly useless interactions i think. i have a strong preference for replies. that said i do think they serve as a good way to indicate appreciation when a full reply is unwarranted but i think they are overly used as a social indicator

i hate what youtube has done to their UI what the hell

Cooking up the worst API of all time

i have yet to be in a situation where image or video generation would be useful (or high quality enough to be useful)

my new favorite mac app

lol yup

I put this on Leaflet too!

they want to relive the jan6 trump twitter ban and the persecution narrative it gave them centralization strikes again

read receipts are also a mistake. same with online/offline status. we could all do with having a little less information

"following" should have always been a private activity, like subscribing to an rss feed. follow counts are a mistake. honestly, most global counts are. the fedi people got that right, albeit accidentally

notifications are a mistake. convince me otherwise.

you are reading this bluesky post.

stop thinking about things. focus.

I like the thinking here. Personally, I think it's a good thing for consumers and producers to predominantly use the same interfaces; I think this makes becoming a producer a lot more accessible to the consumer.

i dont even care anymore this is just cringe thats all there is to say

lovely day. feeling... odd.

lovely day. feeling... odd.

lovely day. feeling... odd.

bluesky is so much nicer write-only

the new msft office icons are atrocious wtf

personally i would not buy a masterclass from a human being who is virtually indistinguishable from an advanced chatgpt wrapper but i might be alone on that one

if you all could just fucking shut the fuck up for a minute that would be really great to be honest

"Jaylon" is one of the more unhinged things you idiots have come up with tbh

have i been losing oomfs to cleanfollow 😢

i do this on purpose btw

bro what the hell is going on on here lmao

hello everyone. i have returned for an hour to see how things are going. how are things going?

Not commenting on any of the moderation stuff but it's hilarious that we got Paul saying "the rest in piss actions got reversed"

every day i see someone say something stupid on the internet and then make it my goal to say something stupider

i loved the bit where he looked at a security camera and said "i did this because i am a communist, who likes reading karl marx"

wait so if we want to figure out the shooter's ideology why don't we just ask him?

can somebody explain to me what the hell is going on with these insane AI generated animated cat videos

wait so the guy was a groyper???

Every day this blatant misinfo is left up is another point of evidence that The Wall Street Journal is no longer the same paper of record it was before Rupert Murdoch turned @wsj.com into yet another tabloid. The sort of fact checkers you'd expect for finance journalism are clearly not present here.

I realize now why people are getting mad at this response; unfortunate. Communication is muddled when you're speaking functionally different languages

I actually think it's a smarter idea for users to get to make these decisions themselves instead of having to just wait for some entity to listen

bluesky's actions make a lot of sense when you consider that they exist because they know there's no winning at content moderation

well well well

guys i don’t work for bluesky i am unemployed and live with my parents in new jersey can we read before we get mad
