I'm @shoq from ExTwitter. Self-appointed evangelist for the #fediverse, working on open source projects that can help it become the communications backbone for the planet that Twitter might have been. #fedi22 #opensource #sidetoolz #USpolitics #liberal #invention Other contacts: Twitter.com/shoq, @shoq@bluesky.app; @shoq:sidetalk.net

nostr:npub1hzxzusfa6nvfwvnpxp9vyc60sfm5rr5y0cr66egvvds06gywh23qtkr4fr yep, and lazy, overrated, insipid bullshit always bred more of the same as followers would imitate the style. I once called it the Adam Sandlerization of social media. (With apologies to Pauly Shore.)

Wouldn't it be cool if you could designate your own reply categories that people could respond to? In the simplest form, agree, disagree, or argument 1, argument 2, etc. We're still stuck in the same dumbass, "just setting up my Twitter" content frames that Jack Dorsey unleashed in 2006. Activity Pub can change all of that with a little more time, effort, and imagination.

And I agree, these are the kinds of discussions that would never happen on dreX. Granted, interesting topics aren't exactly something your average social media dweller feels drawn to, but that's also the best reason we have to reinvent social media. I'm tired of dumb shitism, and these awful services have reveled in it for too long. It's time for a change. Humanity needs to grow the fuck up.

Sure, let's put the case in the hands of the least qualified Supreme Court justices in history. What could go wrong?

This will be like Wikipedia shaming 15 years ago. Soon everyone will be using the tool and no one will think twice about it. What will matter is the final output, not how anyone arrived at it. But the secondhand plagiarism will be a huge problem that I don't think anyone has a solution for. Like most of our huge problems. We have quite a collection going, eh?

I'm not sorry about this part. I always hated the word. Not as much as I hate 'toot.' But very close. The only thing worse than making a mistake, is remaking a mistake, and the 'verse should have known better.

Annoyingly, the TechCrunch author makes no mention of the #fediverse. Maybe they just hate that name?

They're not releasing me from recovery yet, for reasons unknown. They probably want to check to see if I'm still annoying. I assured them I was. They're not taking my word for it.

Sorry MAGA trolls, I survived the surgery. Better luck next next hernia.

The Galaxy 4 watch goes only 2 days on a charge? That sounds unpleasant.

BREAKING: Peter Navarro, one of the worst Americans who ever lived, has been convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress.

I have no doubt Navarro will be found guilty. I just wish it was a capital offense.

He must have been in great shape to get up that high, what with all the energy that movement takes, and still have the strength to pull himself up and over the top. #LowRentSpidermen

Good morning. And yes, I heard about the bullshit WSJ poll showing Biden and TFG tied. It’s horseshit. I won’t let it spoil my day, when air conditioner returns or some new medical drama are sure to need my time and attention.
