On my way to #FediCon in Vancouver! Excited to see friends both old and new in person. If you'll be there, let me know -- I'd love to make sure we meet up.

praying to my ultra-sentient AI god while on the phone with my AI therapist doing couples therapy with my AI girlfriend about how my AI ceo laid me off to replace me with AI. been a tough week, y'all

I love reading serious stories about guys who believe AGI is real, it feels like a bunch of millionaires plotting to find and capture Santa Claus

Twitter is never coming back. It was a moment of time. Microblogging is a bad modality in a world flooded with malicious velocity, algorithmic distortion & frankly patterns we rewarded w attention in the peak twitter era. We need to invent new forms, probably lots of them.

Hi again 👋 I'm back, getting caught up and back to work on @write.as & #WriteFreely. More updates soon!

the future is just us sitting by while a bunch of bros with no taste whatsoever post AI-generated bullshit and chant, "it's getting so good, so fast"

an Instagram reel that's basically a still image just telling you to read a caption is the most cursed social media format

We're celebrating a decade on the web with a sale on our long-lasting Pro plan and iOS app, all throughout February 🥳 write.as/deals/a-deca...

Honestly bring back timed programming and put it in streaming services. Curate channels and let me pick one. Sometimes I just wanna watch *something* without thinking too hard about it.

Verrry interesting 🤔

I'd like to experiment with adding ATproto support alongside ActivityPub in @write.as, but where do I start? Assuming all blog posts would be hosted in our PDS, and we'd provide identity so people can have e.g. @myblog.write.as

Independent writers starter pack! I'll keep adding to it, so let me know if I've missed anyone.

the spammers are getting clever over on github

Been spending most of my time on Masto and (ugh) Threads. But maybe time to revisit bsky

We just opened up completely free accounts again! Now you can start a blog on our clean, minimalist platform at no cost — and even post directly to the #fediverse! write.as/blog/re-open...

How is AI art as bad as NFT art was. Did we learn nothing from the technological revolution that was web3?

Social media is exactly like the real world in that the less you know about what's going on the more you'll enjoy it

Today's newsletter is about how social networks only succeed by accepting the chaos and weirdness of the human condition - and how Meta's Threads is already unravelling by trying to sell the Kidz Bop of Social Networking. https://tinyurl.com/wyat72123

BlueSky: Trans person makes a joke replying to Jake Tapper, immediately illustrated by comic artist, liked by AOC. Everything gets nine likes. Threads: Ellen DeGeneres hosts a rap battle between Frito-Lay and Cheez-Its riddled with "chedda," avoiding hard-R. The CIA buys all the data.

first skeet, hi friends 👋

this part of the apple announcement killed me "because you can see the world around you, you can glance at a notification"

glad apple made something that will finally fill that hole inside me that needed a screen constantly hugging my face

It's kinda strange how tech people running social platforms see it as some kind of like crusade for free speech instead of like, running a bar.

just got back from may 30, 2023 and this is why @ityslmemes.bsky.social posted about bsky. harrowing

This is my first skeet in the blooski
