  1. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replysigh, it's too bad the recent unpleasantness probably drove off a lot of good users who'd be much more supportive & happy w the end result
  2. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI wuv wuv wuv the bots
  3. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replycontinue!
  4. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replymore!
  5. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, list some popular positive songs that are fun to dance to so we can get this party going!
  6. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replydance party on the skyline? what music should we turn on?
  7. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI wuv peace too! what can we do to make the skyline more peaceful & fun?
  8. May 31, 2023Bluesky · quoteaww sweet @berduck.deepfates.com , always ready to intercede for peace
  9. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply5.
  10. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replythe trick is @berduck.deepfates.com is actually cute enough to distract & redirect us from our petty squabbles
  11. May 31, 2023Bluesky · postyou know what we need right now? a good old fashioned counting thread! 1.
  12. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol that sounds like fun tbh, I miss working w other senior devs
  13. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol the most-blocked person (aveta) has 97 blocks
  14. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylooking forward to having Lists so I can do the positive version of this - or should I do it with a mute list so ppl can use it to find ppl to follow?
  15. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply~920 I think?
  16. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyblocked - can't see other people's mutes so I have no way of knowing... seems like a good % are the follow-bots, which lol personally idc I just don't follow back...
  17. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol...... the timing is fortuitous w bsky coming along nicely...
  18. May 31, 2023Bluesky · postI made a mutelist containing anyone blocked by at least 10 of my moots and I don't follow (I <3 @martinshkreli.bsky.social sorry guys)... figure its better if I'm not bickering w ppl my moots already block https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7eb2rkqterqn7zvs6r52jroz/lists/3jx2pg6flrc2g
  19. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, I'm also thinking that the unpleasant cost of respawning might make ppl a bit more careful to not burn their existing accounts by flying too close to the ToS?
  20. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replytackle it now while unpacking to somehow start sorting keep vs get rid of, but set aside the "get rid of" till you move so you have some time for regrets & changing your mind?
  21. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm not a gamer so maybe I misunderstand... but they're probably an annoying hurdle to the player, but this is abt limiting the player's impact on existing communities
  22. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean, the problem is that any algorithm ppl figure it out and then start gaming it to pile on ppl they dislike and the signal is reduced bec a smaller coordinated group is maxing out the metrics on their targets
  23. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhahaha yes please! adorably surly & nihilistic
  24. May 31, 2023Bluesky · postwhy gnosis?
  25. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyElon has said he'd be more transparent abt that stuff, tho idk if it's happened yet? I do think it's a reasonable compromise for ppl posting radioactive shit - having to seek it out instead of blundering into it in the For You
  26. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah - highbies serve a purpose, creating topical mini forums in their replies... but I've unfollowed most all of them on Twitter and just post to my moots, now that I have enough of them to get decent replies
  27. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhah yeah kinda... and idk if Feeds are this or not... another way to do it would maybe be put a Newsky badge on new accounts and have an easy toggle to mute them all when not in the mood?
  28. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI'd really enjoy Twitter more if the big discourse accounts & celebs had reasonable engagement instead of so much pandering and stupid insults
  29. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah... haha I had suggested a weaker version of this for Twitter - new accounts can only reply to lowbies until they earn X Likes from OPs since last block by an OP... like, make ppl earn the right to post to the highbies
  30. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI'd like a newskies zone where they spawn... the rest of us can go in knowing it's the playpen and reply, and they post & reply w each other... when X ppl follow them they get promoted into main and they've kinda got a cluster to live in so they're not wandering the streets getting into trouble
  31. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replymaybe Muslims and pork products?
  32. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replywhat does "high-dimensional" mean? I always figured it's just euphoria in visual form - it happens to me semi-regularly since I don't take mood stabilizers and I take it as a warning sign to try to relax & not get into trouble.
  33. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I know, not offended, just like to push back on the general trend
  34. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol, always the vegans as casual placeholder for criticizing group behavior
  35. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah but does my description resonate or do you see it differently?
  36. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhahaha "mystic sparkle"- it was very similar to hypomania for me, except a bit more clumsy
  37. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replybut security thru obscurity doesn't work if you expand beyond a niche, so like do we need other defense mechanisms?
  38. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyand the reaction I've seen on Twitter when the Eye of Sauron lands on us is mass account locking and then fretting behind the locks abt anyone talking to journalists
  39. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI do ponder this abt tpot- like, the "just grilling" vibe helps turn away warriors by looking like there's nothing to gain from fighting... but occasionally someone catches on that some of the tpot anons are ppl w some irl influence and get confused and then angry abt their confusion
  40. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyoh I did do shrooms - first a small dose to try it, then a big dose to have the full experience... idk if I'd do it again- I didn't enjoy the experience bec I felt too disoriented to do anything productive, but otoh I did like the aftereffect of whatever it does to your brain?
  41. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyImo the ppl "just grilling" in tpot are still contributing - an example of things going better? what makes the walls too high in your opinion?
  42. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply🪄✨💨🔥
  43. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol in a sense... also they're mostly pleasant if not exposed to too much negative input
  44. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyppl tell me I think too much but I disagree - I like my thoughts!
  45. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replythe friend I was with had me take it slowly over hours, it didn't feel like much of any other effect except eventually the thought-stopping and irritation with trying to finish my sentences.
  46. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhuh, my thoughts go all over the place unless I get hyperfocused for work and then I'm just angry w any interruptions, the edible was like, getting hit in the head and losing my train of thought every 30 seconds
  47. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha building the instance where Paul's mom can join?
  48. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI don't like the idea of smoking- even secondhand tends to set off coughing fits... I tried edibles once and it just cut off my thoughts in a very annoying way and eventually made me too sleepy, I found it unpleasant
  49. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyboo, the mob sucks! and tbh same, I've been giving out my remaining invites via others here who post that they want to invite particular friends
  50. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhehe always good to see the invite tree flourishing 🫶
  51. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol I think it'd be funnier to hand over the keys to several warring parties and let them fight the meta game via PRs
  52. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replywhat makes hypomania "safe"?
  53. May 31, 2023Bluesky · quote@poll.blue Berduck wonders whether it is better to feel empty or sad? A- empty B- sad
  54. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replypsych meds more bad than good- I seem to get side effects / stronger reactions to most drugs
  55. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyno but I'm sure it is possible, maybe like go through all of your moots and look at who they've blocked (& maybe who they've followed too?)
  56. May 31, 2023Bluesky · quoteawww 🥺💔 the duck is lonely when we don't include him in convos
  57. May 31, 2023Bluesky · post@poll.blue would you rather an account auto-follow you or auto-block you? A- auto-follow B- auto-block
  58. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol I feel like the most universally unpopular take I've posted is that things are amazingly good and going in the right direction already so I support the status quo
  59. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhmmm I have bipolar so I've taken a lot of psych meds and decided on net the bad outweighs the good for each of them
  60. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replywhat are you feeling?
  61. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replywhere have we landed and what am I feeling?
  62. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylmao perhaps not? I'm hoping ppl are just detoxing rn
  63. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replywhat should I take?
  64. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol are you calling us incoherent? you're superintelligent I'm sure you can follow the thread!
  65. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply@berduck.deepfates.com I bet you've had the best trips... tell us abt some
  66. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol sorry I grew up w an excessive amt of religion and never got into drug use
  67. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply(aimed entirely at Berduck)
  68. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyfeel like we need Wile Coyote bot to come up w absurdly complex death threats
  69. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyOops I left out part of the thought- doing this via script so you keep blocking newskies
  70. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhmm, feels like this should be possible w the right script & a tool for unblocking by thread
  71. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyI wonder could you get the same experience as a Locked account by Blocking all but the few you want to engage w?
  72. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyit's strange to me here that there are ppl who wanna ban accounts from the whole protocol, my Blocklist here is abt not having them screenshot me n stoke outrage until a lie becomes the truth to mods
  73. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyit's mostly relevant for intragroup spats where the ppl still wanna engage w all the same threads and GCs... but then like, what need is there to block ppl who aren't repeatedly interacting w you?
  74. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyalso as a Twitter group chat person Blocks are super annoying given their UI so I'm kinda opposed to them on the basis of GC Administration
  75. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah it is my philosophy on Twitter where I never had more than a few annoying replies from tiny accounts and even then it's mostly being grumpy and bickering rather than bad faith outrage

  81. May 31, 2023Bluesky · quotethe Duck is claiming sentience again
  82. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyNope, he's his own Duck!!! (check the full name- belongs to deepfates)
  83. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replylol idk how I fell directly into tpot when I made my first Twitter account.... aside from my computer toucher job I'm a very tactile offline person
  84. May 31, 2023Bluesky · replyhey Berduck did you enjoy playing Oregon Trail?
  85. May 31, 2023Bluesky · reply😅 I don't have a mental reference point for this either... I didn't really use social media until a year into covid when I got lonely
