last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Ugh, sequels are always worse than the original.

what's wrong, flat arter? afraid of r e a l s h a p e s

put some stuff up, go have a look!!

art.greatsword.xyz swanky now i have my own gallery (you can also reach it by art-by.greatsword.xyz, i couldn't decide what name to pick so both work lmfao)

bsky.social/about/blog/1... so enshittification is THAT quick? idk if its just me but i think EVERYONE disliked facebook because they would try to curate your feed for you instead of just letting you do it yourself with simple and predictable and CLEAR tools, but i guess bsky will be doing that now

I'm well aware what I can do. I'm directly suggesting they don't fuck with that by using some arcane priority sorting garbage. I do not want Bluesky sorting or adjusting replies to my posts based on their assessments. Or auto-hiding a reply based on "social neighborhood" score .

or, wild idea. I see replies in order recieved, regardless of who is from, because it's organised. I'm not here to mimic IRL. Don't try and guess what I want to see, just show what is sent unless and until I specifically block it.

there are two types of selfhosters 1. the based kind who just uses it to run a website and a chat system (xmpp gang), and MAYBE a fileserver or a jellyfin if you have a lot of devices basically just using the internet in the way it was supposed to be, as a communication system (the biggest SNS)

oc comm for @greatsword.xyz thank you :)

The problem, like with everything, is - mass adoption... why do people use fb/twitter/whatsapp? Because... other people use it... same story as with bluesky - it had it surge due to external circumstances :)

ay if you're writing lore that's fictional, you should look into language and experiment with it because its fun and can be a really cool way of subtly showing influence :D
