Working on governance, risk, and social patterns across federated & decentralized systems. Previously: COVID Tracking Project + Knight Mozilla OpenNews + editorial and community in tech and culture orgs. I want our tools and networks to be better in more ways for more people in more places. Mostly offline rn. <3

It’s so weird to me that blog-and-comments isn’t the dominant model to emerge from the very bloggy indieweb scene!

nostr:npub1rem080ythr3hd947r28y708pc7kcrmt6jy87afrykczc6luz7yhqklfw9u Yeah, I feel like that would blend well with the recent nostr:npub1eyszugs46q4ngd8tgeysnkwve20n9wewj42lac9cp7s2jrk52u2qce6x02 proposal.

Possibly heretically, I don’t much care whether any given network runs as blog-with-comments or as semi-structured chat, as long as it 1.) makes up its goddamned mind and 2.) implements the appropriate form of reply curation—deletion or severability, respectively.

nostr:npub1u7q6wryrjd0xqgx5h2dggxqd7r3rcwcuvtrt2z5tpdnxzspa9yzqcn4fmt Honestly I think the formula is likely to work pretty well based on the early days, they just need to get it into humans

nostr:npub14ep69ps7cvpl9fyt4hqmfm8s5k08kzg0fta0d7mq9uxn822j2saschcpuj I think matters a lot to the high-risk teachers and staff (and parents) trying to avoid severe illness and long covid, both of which seem to be pretty sharply reduced for many months after a fresh shot, even after infection protection drops.

Ventilation is a separate disaster, though. I hope families who can afford to keep offering HEPAs to teachers for classroom use, and pushing for fresh air.

US covid shot delays pushing out into the second or third month of the school year + zoom feeding us all into the LLM beast with no opt-out sure *feels* like ratcheting up the tension in fun new ways

nostr:npub1yd7ns9yhtcksrtqwzklh4sugxqk2rug3dn8aps8wqfgqnhf0ku5s9kg9d4 Yeah, I’m not at a computer rn, but I just dropped typefaces I own into one of the asset folders in my blot dropbox directory and used CSS to call them—though I did it clumsily and haven’t fixed it yet. I modified the theme in several ways, most visible in the CSS file.

Lmk if I’m not understanding your question!

nostr:npub1n4rukpk3raggm0crmmvq7qatmszlgle83z526pp6c8kdvmay63hswzsctd I’m back! I would be a bit shocked if these issues were resolved quickly, myself. If I felt like moving, I’d move, but first I would bookmark and screenshot all my DMs and important followers-only replies, which is obviously a bit of a headache.

nostr:npub1ttkqmpglj0t5h5r3t4xj5sdl7vezj03k7rp42h4jqkxlwsrgc0qqxfx6r5 Hey, I just got back from a week off and saw your Universeodon post, and had one clarification, since you’re quoting me in it: I followed the defed and Meta conversations pretty closely, and I’ve never taken issue with anything Art’s done. I thought (and said at the time) that Stux’s defed was a mistake, and it did play a role in my move, balanced against my good experience on his instance. +

nostr:npub1ttkqmpglj0t5h5r3t4xj5sdl7vezj03k7rp42h4jqkxlwsrgc0qqxfx6r5 The inter-server “beef” in my post refers to the whole history w/r/t Meta meetings and defeds, and I’d prefer that my imprecise use of the term weren’t interpreted as some kind of implicit blame of Welshpixie. I’m trying to be clear without feeding any fires, but apparently not quite succeeding.
