  1. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply@storebrandguy.bsky.social
  2. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyi wonder what the bsky vibe would be like if she spontaneously decided to delete her account and touch grass?
  3. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replygood faith is literally traumatizing?
  4. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@Chrisprucha welcome 🫶
  5. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@visakanv imo it's the parasocial version of the drama triangle... they're the victim and they alternatingly cast you as rescuer and persecutor https://t.co/XizWbceXzX
  6. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@exuberic https://t.co/XNXxQzxoea
  7. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@chairsign lol, did I tweet abt this before or just rant in GCs... hmmm
  8. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@maybegray quinoa-chickpea pilaf from the Veganomicon 🫶
  9. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replycool thanks! 🤗
  10. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyno which "HF list" should I follow?
  11. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyoooo yeah I wanna hear you dj! and hopefully can get my act together with a fun AI project next year
  12. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🤣 I probably shouldn't have started all of this again ...
  13. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah there was a cool phase at the beginning that felt that way- preponderance of techies playing w the APIs etc- but then it was overshadowed by the journalists & celebs & activists mod drama
  14. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replymaybe mute them so you remember not to engage w them to respect their previous block?
  15. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah it's def a smaller audience than twitter but I like the moots I do have here who are active so 🤷‍♀️
  16. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI feel all of it is an artifact of ppl looking for reasons to be upset... being hyperreactive to being labeled gives power to anyone who uses the label
  17. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply(and I find it ironic that I've now had ppl angry and calling me names because they're on one of my mute lists... 🙄)
  18. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyon Twitter only a few dudes who had parasocial obsessions that started to feel stalkerish... here blocking for any reason or none at all as an experiment bec ppl insisted it is much better this way
  19. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyfuck, we need a Priest to bless each new following relationship now?
  20. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, being able to remove your side of a former mutualship is good (and can be done now w api call)... making a core use case more difficult to support an edge case is a bad UX decision (and if it's not an edge case to block your friends... ummm perhaps this is not a technical problem)
  21. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · postimo changing Following into a three-step handshake is not the right way to go... a public microblogging social media app is about facilitating discovery and new connections. the only change I support is UIs should prioritize block status and not display a label that ppl apparently find upsetting
  22. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · postthis is where I post from
  23. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replythat hellthread lewd pics I saw before muting mostly had pale skin
  24. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🙄 tbh she wasn't wrong about the demographics but her tone was all wrong if the goal was to encourage ppl to mix communities & be inviting (as opposed to making herself chief victim around here)
  25. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🤣 hellthread... I had a lot of them muted tbh bec the NSFW labeling wasn't working right and I didn't want to see a bunch of nude pics in my feed
  26. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyErix is ex-Twitter employee white dude who managed to be the loudest most hysterical voice abt social justice... like, imo being an ally doesn't mean screaming louder than the group themselves
  27. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replywild approximation but imo at the time it was more Black than US demographics / less Black than global demographics, bec the team had particularly encouraged Aveta to bring over Black Tech twitter and was the largest group onboarded at the time
  28. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyhey!!! it's good, just got lunch at Busboys n Poets
  29. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@s9chroma @wagieeacc as best I can guess someone used a tool to ban everyone who likes a critical post... and given tpot "like before reply"...
  30. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyhe got himself banned after making a noisy exit to Discord, posted a sarcastic threat against the bsky team and tagged them, clearly knowing it'd get him banned
  31. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, it was perhaps unwise to say, but it wasn't "another threat" the way everyone described it... they wanted to ban her to quiet down aveta & co (tbh I blame Erix for the worst unhinged ranting)... unfortunately when you give in to hostage takers they take more hostages
  32. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyfound it! DMed to you... it's a reply to AJ asking why ppl are angry and starts with "what, no they moved on days ago. now it's that i used a racist term (anglosphere) and..." (threat I won't repeat)
  33. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI have an archive of her posts tho, will dig it up when I'm back home on my laptop
  34. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI feel like this works at smaller scale where the person making the call is plugged in with all relevant context... but at platform scale your mods need to be working on a consistent set of policies so it doesn't depend on the mood of the person making the call
  35. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replysigh can't find it right now...
  36. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyquack quack 🐥
  37. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean I also do feel like... if those words were harmful then should we really be propagating them?
  38. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🤣 I mean I'm partially joking and trust you'd not bully ppl and spread lies which is the actual behavior I object to... clout chase away
  39. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replythe thing is, alice was banned for sarcastic hyperbolizing of what she'd previously said as a way of criticizing ppl for taking it seriously when she'd said it was metaphorical... so it's not clear that context will be taken into account when banning ppl for repeating the "threat"
  40. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replynot in my invite tree! 🙏🥺
  41. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyalso "centrist" being seen as akin to "alt right" and ppl reacting to being called "neoliberal" like it's fighting words...
  42. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyBecause you want to build trust w your users that you won't be arbitrary and unfair... Like, I stopped spending as much time here after they banned Alice - I know she's not a "nazi" and believe she wouldn't have harassed ppl if she'd stayed
  43. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replywhat would be the point of retroactive banning? if the person is actually a problem they'll do it again, if they don't then why should they be unwelcome?
  44. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyif you wanna go with "anyone can be banned at any time" I agree bsky isn't legally required to host you, but also it's a terrible policy and I'd leave if that were the norm bec why invest in building content & social graph where it can be deleted for no reason? This is why I want federations ofc
  45. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyimo the way that should work is to adopt the new policy, remove the violation content, and then going forward have bans as a consequence for posting new content, but not retroactively ban accounts who posted something that wasn't against ToS when posted
  46. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@wagieeacc thank you! 🫶
  47. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm not gonna disavow my friends with "problematic beliefs" and I'm tired of wasting time on conversations with ppl who eventually get angry and block me bec they believe in guilt by association, I'd rather they block me immediately... hence the self labeling to help them
  48. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@twofifteenam idk, what do you think?
  49. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@LastNPCAlex yeah, and more like identifying who's in tpot and therefore "literally a nazi"™️ and dark muttering abt what hold tpot must have over the bsky dev team
  50. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replydo election work! I run a precinct in a historically black community and imo it's super important that ppl have a good friendly voting experience & can trust their votes count
  51. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · repostRT @gfodor: @eigenrobot I had to stop using bluesky, they should pivot temporarily to a mental health services provider
  52. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🖖 good to know, my hands are strong but sensitive c
  53. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@jeremymstamper perhaps not a fan of chatgpt?
  54. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@Owen_Roe and concurrently some ppl are saying tpot is a bunch of "nazis" and racists, with the usual snowballing confirmation bias convincing themselves that any protest from tpot ppl actually proves they're defensive and thus guilty
  55. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@Owen_Roe um, they've been having a meltdown because someone was able to create an account with the n-word as the username, tho the account was quickly banned and pushed a code update within 24 hrs to block a set of slurs from usernames... they're "on strike" demanding the ceo step down
  56. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replylol I think I'm already canceled here... and the feeling of "fuck it nothing left to lose" is exactly why I'm opposed to cancel culture & writing ppl off as "bad ppl"
  57. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyso what's the takeaway as far as how ppl should respond?
  58. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · posttemporarily locking because some truly deranged ppl from bsky are on the warpath 🙄
  59. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@webdevMason @eigenrobot @IvyAstrix @sidewayskoyote plus they're interpreting your meme as threatening the devs rather than suggesting the devs take a flamethrower to the critics
  60. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · repostRT @Noahpinion: "Let's help poor Black kids by just not teaching anyone math" is the most fucking boneheaded idea I've ever heard. Those ki…
  61. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · reply🤯 amazing
  62. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replya subset of users wants to control what anyone can see/say, not just their own experience... but also the community labeling isn't available yet... idk I'm still hoping they stick to the original plan
  63. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replysplitting it allows more self hosting which means even if you thoroughly suck your identity & content still exists it just loses reach
  64. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyI thought this is why it's not just mastodon-like, they've said they wanna be able to host a PDS on a raspberry pi... and then have aggregators which are the big expensive scaling part...
  65. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@sidewayskoyote oh? I didn't know! what's the story?
  66. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@sidewayskoyote 😅 umm... I mean I wanna be somewhat more engaged in the conversation, but like... yes, brilliant techbro sperging abt AI is hot foreplay in my book
  67. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@megs_io sigh, the gap between expectation & reality ... if an imperfect moment snaps them out of the fantasy they'll react like they've been deceived and betrayed, even if their idealizing was a completely unreasonable expectation
  68. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replymeow? 😽
  69. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · quoteawwwwww 😢 so sad 🫶🤖
  70. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@_metavore_ 🤷‍♀️ ... or does it mean retvrn of Kanye?
  71. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@sidewayskoyote @IvyAstrix @eigenrobot @webdevMason happy ending tho- we had a fun DnD session today, which idk would've happened if not for ppl bullying her & me reacting that no actually they are the intolerant ppl in this picture
  72. Jul 16, 2023Bluesky · replyidk, I don't have a good sense of this for myself... ppl talk abt IFS & integrating your shadow and idk quite what they mean... I can be less than my best self (have been on here recently, snark & laughing at ppl who are very upset), but like an evil side?
  73. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · reply@sidewayskoyote @eigenrobot @IvyAstrix I think this is a Leftist-bully thing from Twitter, that anyone who associates w someone sus (as decided by the self appointed speech police) is also sus themselves.... encourages ppl to drop their friends and jump on the dog pile to avoid being the next target
  74. Jul 16, 2023Twitter · quote🫶 bipolar tribe is a high perplexity good time https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1680423042873278465
  75. Jul 15, 2023Twitter · reply@eigenrobot @sidewayskoyote @IvyAstrix 🤣 well I just got blocked an hour ago for saying I don't have a problem w your bsky posts...
  76. Jul 15, 2023Twitter · reply@eigenrobot @sidewayskoyote @IvyAstrix lol, thanks? I mean, it's good ig, toughen me up....
  77. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah... tbqh I am more of a free speech person and would prefer not to have these accounts banned... giving too much power to a small string of letters
  78. Jul 15, 2023Twitter · reply@sidewayskoyote @eigenrobot @IvyAstrix 😕 I don't particularly like being hated by so many ppl, but it's preferable to being bullied into submission
  79. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyelite overproduction hypothesis makes an awful lot of sense
  80. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replythe relevant axis is lib vs auth imo... LW vs RW go by vibes & who's throwing better parties, if forced to pick a side
  81. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyah well am now blocked for trying to honestly answer their questions... 🤷‍♀️ I do like disagreeable people
  82. Jul 15, 2023Twitter · repostRT @BasedBeffJezos: As Elon says, the best moat for tech is not patents (regulatory moat) but S P E E D of innovation (acceleration). The…
  83. Jul 15, 2023Twitter · reply@deepfates 🎊🥳🎉 happy birthday!
  84. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I think it's disagreeable but acceptable, I don't think less of him for it
  85. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · reply🏅 impressive!
  86. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyI think the other account had just called eigen a racist in another thread of bickering and this was to prove the point that anyone can just post anything about anyone and doesn't make it fact?
  87. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · poststill perplexing & amazing to me that 6 ascii characters were able to plunge all of bsky into a weeklong hell of emotional dysregulation & damaged relationships
  88. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replywould you like a few? I ended up w more than I needed
  89. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyI've seen a lot of support for nuclear & permitting reform for faster upgrades to infrastructure, and ofc us Tesla fans... like, less red tape & degrowth, more innovate our way out of this
  90. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · quote🤣🤣🤣 accurate summary
  91. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyoof, Fred has me blocked I think so I can't help there... like ppl have been saying it's not one big happy family, more of a loose community where ppl aren't patrolling the borders... Eigen is disagreeable guy he's also funny and like, tit for tat / will block when he's irritated, not go to war
  92. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyhaving followed for awhile, you seem a lot happier & stronger & able to take action to stand up for what you believe... it's cool to see 🫶
  93. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyyes I love this! birding such a good way for dudes to walk around in the woods together with lots of silent listening
  94. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · quoteI've been wondering the same thing but was too afraid to ask...
  95. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · post🤔 are anti-death-threat policies ableist against those with cluster B personality disorders?
  96. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyI hope everyone who's made threats, no matter how metaphorical or "joking", is now banned from bsky in accordance w the zero tolerance policy laid down to ban alice
  97. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · reply🤔 yeah, any new community is quickly overpopulated w the most aggrieved & unreasonable exiles from the other platforms....
  98. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replytbqh I do associate with some racists on twitter and nick land follows me... I don't agree w their racism and will sometimes argue against those takes, but I think they're interesting ppl and it's worth engaging w ppl who think differently
  99. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · reply🫶🥂
  100. Jul 15, 2023Bluesky · replyare you using translation software perhaps? I said "my twitter" and was meant as agreement/ we're thinking along similar lines
