That’s why I don’t mind that doing stuff here is a pain in the ass sometimes. I started on BBSs and 1200 baud modems, motherfuckers!

speaking of assholes I saw someone comparing a literal gaping asshole to tits, and expressed that moderation was uneven, I thought that was an incredibly interesting moral dilemma despite not being pro moderation.

2008 Twitter was the fucking best. No hashtags, no image uploads. Just speak your peace up to 140 characters and have fun until the site went down for three hours.

And then they became the thing they hated most.

fair, but no one’s like reacting to you rebuilding that there on here the way when it’s mentioned here we’re talking about the radials making that hard for y’all to just have pre 2015 twitter back.

interesting, not doubting you but how do you know this are there some reasonably reliable crawlers posting stats or something?

It seemed to me to be the place where most of the acronym kids went to so they could post the raunchier stuff that wasn’t permitted on other places.

feed stuff isn't part of the protocol, afaict, so it's all client specific and not very easy to share stuff, but i'm very happy with how you can setup different types of feeds for different scopes of the network (eg for follows, follows of follows) as well as feeds for global searches

if you just hate Tesla guy you go to threads. bluesky has the hard core social justice experts, not just virtue signaling progressives (well maybe the dev team), but the hard core radicals.

omg i just figured out how to make a gm/gn feed in primal it is so over

one thing about nostr is boomers will hop into conversations with aesthetic people talking about free speech and assume that we are against them.

someone gonna be big mad all these egirls are using custodial wallets

Oh. The dm is not from me. Just being a helpful simp 😘

To me it’s honestly reminded me of something I’ve seen from a lot of alternative social media.

Everything feels wonderful at first, everyone’s cordial and friendly, every argument’s taken with some level of consideration towards keeping some level of peace…

But then, at a certain point - perhaps with enough people joining - it all kinda collapses. I’ve kinda wondered if I’ll ever find a place where this doesn’t happen at some point in time.

so right now we don’t have the tooling to offer the trade of controlling others for a personal utopia, I believe what nos social is working on will end up allowing an opt in product that will be what the vitriolic’s have always claim they want, but I also believe they won’t take it… note it’s always concern for what other see but they themselves can tolerate it enough to react to it.
