Bluesky should not function purely as an anti Elon echo chamber hive mind
If you wanna use it for other reasons fine but the self congratulatory patting on the back wears a bit thin
JSTOR dropped the fucking case
I don’t remember who’s to blame precisely, I think the prosecutors, but they should face punishment
And to not force yourself
You can’t fake interest
What musk did for stopping covid censorship was absolutely necessary regardless of what you think of him (and I think some of what he does is distasteful like the cave incident in Thailand) and we have to really reevaluate what “misinformation” is
(YouTube was absolutely useless and they should be held to account for the voices they silenced including medical professionals.. “do not contradict who/cdc is not good community guidelines)
I also despise everything that came out of 9/11 too btw
Forget the conspiracy angle, you can believe that if you want but I think it’s not likely
But what we do know is bill binney talking about the fact they’d have stopped it happening if they used thinthread, we know assange was unfairly prosecuted and we know nsa’s activities exposed by Snowden were ruled illegal by the ninth circuit (so also unfairly prosecuted)
This in addition to signals being ignored that might have stopped it, as far as I know

Bluesky, as a protocol, is interesting

Facebook is auto following people to trump/vance apparently and while that’s not great it’s hard to say the platform prefers one side or another, but my problem with the whole product is that regardless it’s so far from being an actual chronological feed of your friends, it’s spam on steroids
They effectively do this kind of thing regularly
It’s like ice climbing but other people post their videos of ice climbing
I don’t actually know whether a full decentralized internet is possible or even desirable but it’s nice things like this exist
I don’t know whether it’s trauma related and I’m sure a therapist would have a field day, sometimes I feel like a stranger in my own body and have to force myself to react to anything
Yeah but we’re cool
What’s the general rule of thumb for how cold it has to be to be safe?
