Decentralization != democracy.

I’ll be talking about @blackskyweb.xyz with the folktechnology.org community on February 18th. Pop out

I did what you’re trying to. Being That nigga for My niggas — and out here sliding too. We made my house the kick-it spot, everyone sliding through. You got that iron? Go in my crib — police riding through.

Looks like he’s already unbanned but..

My children. My niblings. Their friends. Neighborhood kids. Kids across the globe.

Life lesson I learned is that freedom isn’t immutable. It’s something you have to constantly mind, like a pot on the stove.

I care about kids. I want my niblings to experience freedom.

I think they’re panicking because they platformed that protecting children rhetorical device on both sides of the aisle for years regarding drag story hours, Kids Online Safety Act, critical race theory, school shootings etc Only for a child abuse conspiracy to be exposed and nothing done about it

Mood.

hell yeah. in so many areas, we’re in desperate need of discontinuous innovation that doesn’t fit neatly in to preexisting shapes

Octavia’s brood; Black futures

A perfect time to bring up my beliefs on the direct relationship between “my barber is wilding” and quality of cut. Multiplication proves math is fake? Perfect taper. They killed Dr. Sebi because he cured cancer? Lineup of the gods.

Went to a SXSW speakers meetup and came away with a whole pepperoni pie death to corporate sandwich platters!

public philosophy!

Slowly at first and then all at once. We're getting to the turning point.

blacksky after 2pm PST:

One of the most helpful things you can do as an ally during Black History Month is not get on my nerves ✊✊✊

> Over the past three years, a diverse team led by the SHIFT Collective and funded by the @fil.org has been working to develop ... Community-Cloud-Storage: A private, self-hosted distributed storage model built for the unique needs of community-based archives. @blackskyweb.xyz participated in this.

In summary:

They called it AI and now I gotta debate the definition of intelligence with my barber

another @thiccreese.bsky.social banger www.wired.com/story/i-infi...

have always valued this sentiment more. imo syncs well with software/code being a living product, being deeply tied to the people who maintain it, the non-neutrality of design, etc

just realized rsky-wintermute is indexing the entire AT Protocol firehose and all records from user repos -- not just bsky but cosmik, Germ, etc. not yet sure if feature or bug (also not sure if others run wintermute in the wild, but heads up)

God forbid someone just wants to make stuff good, instead of just trying to extract profit from it.

I'd imagine most VCs probably know this. They're not in the business of making the world better or providing value to customers, they're in the business of relatively predictable return on investment.

"I am personally of the opinionated, obsessive, craft + taste > market analysis, vertical integration, long timelines ilk of technologist" Vastly underrated sentiment. When you are committed to the people and the craft (not the dollar), then your software will flourish alongside those who use it.

Wooooo, big same. The internet itself is a product of thousands of people becoming obsessed with a small detail no one cares about working in concert. Innovation never comes from a business plan.

I am going to frame this take from @rude1.blacksky.team and put it on my wall. What a breath of fresh air. Completely agree.

I'm saying that this + Diary of a CEO is how you get sperm racing startups. Do you want sperm racing startups? Because that's how you get sperm racing startups.

I’m very sensitive about being compared to opps. I ~will~ glitch out if you compare content moderation to policing, saying I sound like Mark Zuckerberg for any reason, etc It will result in a G-check. I will go from Jekyll to Hyde real quick. They’re not like me and I’m not like them.

Steve Jobs was right about a lot of things related to product development and company building.

A constellation because our mission is bigger than the atmosphere. And the adinkra symbol eban which is a fence because good fences make for good neighbors and setting appropriate boundaries.

If anything, @blackskyweb.xyz has the best space exploration name, also the branding just screams cyberpunk space core elite team, amirite @rude1.blacksky.team ? 🤣

I’m fine with entire swaths of men being wiped out by women choosing not to deal with insufferable dickheads anymore in any capacity.

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself

This is the golden era to just be a normal dude because dweebs and twerps are exposing themselves at an alarming rate. We have never seen or heard from this many dweebs and twerps at any point in history before this. The dweebs and twerps are here and they're curing droughts with their tears.

seems like there's something valuable we could all learn from this. hmm.

I enjoy drawing connections between the 2020 George Floyd Uprisings, the proliferation of mutual aid groups in NYC in the following years (including the 15 groups fiscally hosted by Pact of which I'm the Board Chair), and then having a democratic socialist as our mayor 6 years later.

I’m an abolitionist but…

relevant passage from @agreenberg.bsky.social's Tracers In The Dark (2022)

Successfully migrated, this was so easy! $25/mo contribution set up for the blacksky team as well. Thank you so much!

when you pay and STILL get subjected to ads

death to the advertising industry.

from neighbors and organizers to building 'Venmo for anarchists' together - we've come a long way! incredibly proud to work with Rudy and the Blacksky team 💛

Hard agree. If we wanna use the word "Web" and are using domains, lean all the way in!

can't get this idea out of my head that @bnewbold.net told me once -- when you put someone's atproto handle into a web browser (e.g. "https://rude1.blacksky.team"), it should take you to a myspace style profile page that the handle owner can customize

"Sinners" took home two Grammys in last night's ceremony, including wins for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. capitalbnews.org/fear-of-god-...

I’m here to answer questions.. just know we wasn’t there for his mom, we didn’t find that out until we was on the way to go see him.. we was just trolling on that part
