  1. May 30, 2023Bluesky · posthow do you imagine you'd feel abt wealth if you inherited it from your grandparents?
  2. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyah, yeah I was going by the norm of call ppl by their preferred name 😞
  3. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyoh nice...
  4. May 30, 2023Bluesky · reply😎 pup's too cool!
  5. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyah sure.... tho I'd be confused by witch hunters bec I'd assume they're chasers not haters... 😏
  6. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyalso they've split instances into PDS which is a smaller simpler server an individual could host for themself vs BGS which aggregates n indexes n applies curation n moderation for building feeds
  7. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyyes the team has talked abt how they've analyzed mastodon & activity pub to conclude they wanted to build something different- one diff would be account portability to change servers so initial choice is less important, another is having global indexing which activity pub dislikes
  8. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyI think there's a cluster but it isn't as tightly connected as ppl think and that for any account in it there are ppl who think the account is central to tpot, that the account is an annoying intrusion, who think the account is peripheral, who don't recognize the account at all
  9. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replymaybe? I kinda feel the first main default instance w default feeds and filters *should* be moderated Disney Land that doesn't throw newskies into conversations they're not ready for... but that it should have porous borders and let ppl find their way into niche communities
  10. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replythat's an amazing story ❤️
  11. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, I think it's a tiny thing if you truly mean neo-nazis... but I have a Jewish friend who's been DMing w a neo-nazi on Twitter bec he wants to understand how they think, and like, I'm glad there's a platform where they can exchange messages even if the views expressed are pretty awful
  12. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm just asking theoretically bec I do understand Jay & team can do whatever they want and presumably care about pleasing other constituencies than tpot...
  13. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I'm not sure and it would depend how much custom dev we want to do vs just the power (hell) of being the mods ourselves
  14. May 30, 2023Bluesky · reply"nazi server" is an unclear term, I don't want an ugly server seething w resentment n hate... but I do want to include ppl who hold problematic views
  15. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyhaving known her for awhile on Twitter I don't think she is an edgelord either- she's a Brit who probably has heard "anglosphere" as a neutral term for the 5 countries in it
  16. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replybelieving what?
  17. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replybsky.social instance belongs to Jay & team... but if we had a tpot instance how would we prevent the nazi-hunters from ruining it?
  18. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replythat thread is such bullshit... Alice isn't an evil genius she's a young lonely awkward autistic woman who blundered into the culture warriors hair-trigger escalate to 11 mindset.
  19. May 30, 2023Twitter · replymaybe should do fine tuning or just prompt by example.... what are the most prototypical tpot posts to use?
  20. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@foomagemindset lol true but AI is also threadboi topic "top 10 productivity hacks w gpt!"
  21. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyprobably lol... maybe 3.5, and def eval in batches, and maybe w some heuristics to pre-filter?
  22. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replykinda feeling like tpot knows where it is by knowing where it isn't... not mainstream political takes, not LinkedIn professional posts, not normal sexworker cooing (aella fits bec weird af like the rest of us..)
  23. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyask gpt-4 to evaluate? 🤔🤔
  24. May 30, 2023Twitter · postnew bsky feature allows anyone to develop their own custom feed algos.... If I wanted to build a tpot feed but select posts from the firehose by vibe not by account cluster, what vibes should I look for?
  25. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@gfodor 💯🫶 ... meow/acc- accelerate the catgirls for mental health!
  26. May 30, 2023Twitter · repostRT @gfodor: This tweet may anger some but I strongly believe LLMs and AR virtual companions offer the largest technological breakthrough in…
  27. May 30, 2023Bluesky · postif I wanted to make a tpot feed by vibe rather than by user, which vibes should I target?
  28. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyheh maybe that's the missing feature here - tpot feed by self-identification opt-in somehow...
  29. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyone of us =P
  30. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replylol yes and no... tpot is fractal - his tpot != my tpot... tpot is by self-election not gatekept... but there's a tradition of ppl refusing to identify as such, calling themselves "tpot-adjacent" - it's a known symptom of crossing the tpot event horizon never to escape
  31. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replystill, feel like we should really have 3 competing tpot feeds and a few esoteric sub-interest feeds like for AI or psychedelics
  32. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replythere is, from jazco https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q6gjnaw2blty4crticxkmujt/feed/cl-tpot
  33. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@RoninMeta what do you want it for?
  34. May 30, 2023Twitter · postwant a shot at being the 100Kth user at bsky? reply/DM for an invite...
  35. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah maybe... my mom told me when I was just a kid that I'd have to find someone willing to go along w my plans if I ever got married... and she wasn't wrong and I never did quite find the right match
  36. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@Roko__eth @psychosort 😏😏😏 if you literally put "meat packing plant" I'd assume you meant something else...
  37. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@RandolphCarterZ so $10K would just go in the bank and not change plans at all, like buying a fancier car or doing a home upgrade project or something?
  38. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@PstafarianPrice haha yes definitely- the inconvenience is a huge factor... ig I'm trying to distinguish between "it's annoying to lose the money" vs "I have to adjust my budget and give up something else to pay for it"
  39. May 30, 2023Twitter · reply@AgiDoomerAnon oh haha are they? I mean like what's the emotion abt if it doesn't matter to your financial planning?
  40. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyit's so much growth tho to feel this and want to be someone w a greater range of social responses 🫶
  41. May 30, 2023Bluesky · quotelol I often feel like I'm my own husband, like I don't have an open slot in my life for a man bec I fill that role myself.... am I trans?
  42. May 30, 2023Twitter · postwhat counts as a significant amount of money to you? (i.e. would elicit some emotion if gained or lost, would affect your life plans in some way)
  43. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replytruuu gotta quotepost w some clever or at least not awful comment so you get to see the likes... but then it divides the replies between the OP and your new quote thread... sigh
  44. May 30, 2023Bluesky · replyso true, long stretch of bad vibes n cortisol here rather than it being a place for support n inspiration, and w everyone burnt out n at odds will it heal?
  45. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyfollowed 🫶
  46. May 29, 2023Bluesky · postovercast evening in DC
  47. May 29, 2023Bluesky · post
  48. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyalso I kinda want a Dislikes tab for my fave posters to scroll and laugh when I'm in the mood for it
  49. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyposting from the overlook bench to feel above it all
  50. May 29, 2023Bluesky · quote😅🤣 the freedom of posting from a farm
  51. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replylmao that's the post that made me post about wanting downvotes to register disapproval without amplifying idiocy
  52. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyoh yeahhh forgot, thanks!
  53. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha slashdot mod points yeah ... I guess my myself I just want a simple "public record of my disapproval" for things that I find distasteful or inaccurate or mean but not actually a ToS violation
  54. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replya reply can clarify but it also amplifies the disagreement and, on Twitter etc, puts the debate onto other ppl's feeds giving it more eyeballs than if ignored... when 100 ppl want to register disapproval you end up with 100 replies and a viral post, vs 100 silent frowns and no amplification
  55. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI've seen it on a local news Disqus forum where it seems fine... most posts get zero downvotes, one user downvotes everything posted by another user but it's like, eyeroll fine, some local issue takes get a few predictable ups & downs, and the occasional really bad take gets 10 to 100 downvotes
  56. May 29, 2023Bluesky · reply👋 hello!
  57. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyfwiw I would have downvoted the alice post that started the drama spiral- I saw it and frowned and decided against replying in hopes it would fade into obscurity rather than blow up
  58. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replymostly I want a Like but for the opposite sentiment- "this post sucks and I disagree", publicly w my handle attached... as a way to feel I've pushed back and registered my disapproval of shitty posts without adding to the drama w a quote dunk or angry reply
  59. May 29, 2023Bluesky · post(peeking from my bunker) ... is it ok to admit that I still want downvotes?
  60. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyimo this is the same as someone being able to post that you're a transphobe- one person's opinion which may or may not be accurate and is clearly only their opinion
  61. May 29, 2023Bluesky · post@pfrazee.com @emily.bsky.team - alice is wondering whether it's possible for her to get a copy of her own repo so if, after federation, there's a different instance where she would be welcome, she could import her graph etc? and/or asks if there's a contact she could email to inquire?
  62. May 29, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean haha ok yeah this is better I didn't post the other one yet so I'll use this
  63. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I do think the way blocks play back into the Twitter algo cause them to be more of an offensive mob weapon... hopefully w fragmented custom feeds they won't necessarily play such a role? (tho could if the most popular feeds rely heavily on block data)
  64. May 29, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean I'll screenshot and put it in a post
  65. May 29, 2023Twitter · repostRT @megs_io: Refining yesterday's poll: pls RT for broader data capture. Which group is more likely to perceive a robot as a more compatib…
  66. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replydifferent ppl have different opinions abt who are in fact "bad actors" and this allows everyone to create lists reflecting their opinion... I'm on a pile of Lists on Twitter, some w absurd names, and it doesn't seem to matter at all
  67. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm surprised you haven't added the most frequent cat posters tbh
  68. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyobviously the name of the list reflects on the owner who chose the name, I don't see why this is any different than a post that puts that label plus a list of mentions
  69. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replysee & subscribe to them lol.... this feature was demanded for "Safety" ... I like the idea of lists bec I can toggle the shields on or off depending on my mood
  70. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah sigh... I'd rather not hear that I'm "harming" someone by putting them on a mute list bec I don't want to see their adult content
  71. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replysome petty drama is brewing imo, but I think you n the focus of it have each other blocked so you're probably good?
  72. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyand particularly anyone who's looking to monetize their engagement here, don't be surprised if some ppl wanna opt out of your posts
  73. May 29, 2023Bluesky · postseeing some ppl on here getting upset abt being on a mute list and like... imo this attitude is the same as follow policing- let ppl curate their own experience w whatever mutes / blocks / follows and focus on your own graph
  74. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I saw fates' lists causing some consternation... and I've had a few ppl tag me and ask why someone was on my list... 🤷‍♀️ what "abuse" have you seen?
  75. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replygood duck :) which problems have you solved recently?
  76. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replynot much, kinda tired today... what have you been up to recently?
  77. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyhey @berduck.deepfates.com , u up?
  78. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI didn't block much on Twitter but given how many ppl had scolded me for expressing this sentiment here before blocks were available, I decided to try out low-threshold blocking... and I think it saved me from recent anger at anyone associated w alice...
  79. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI have no idea *why* she's so well-connected but it seems like she was involved in inviting celebs and a pile of journalists (which coincided w the moment this place started to turn sour... 🤔🤔🤔)
  80. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyit seems true enough- she was Tweeting abt it and many ppl would join and first post would be thanking her for the invite...
  81. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah... lol at your perfect description btw, the tantrum of frustrated entitlement...
  82. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyhuh is that a bannable offense, calling someone a white supremacist nazi? I mean it's awful but ppl throw insults around all the time...
  83. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replylol chaos is experienced in the dark arts I am interested to see how this plays out...
  84. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI think yes, they've learned from watching Mastodon and are trying to build something w more individual user choice and mix-n-match community labeling etc- they've repeatedly said they intend for users to be able to switch instances and to host their own content, reducing the power of instance mods
  85. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replylol if so... wish I could check for accuracy but alas...
  86. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replygazing into my anglo-orb
  87. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI feel very cynical abt this, sometimes expertise can be used in reverse to create the opposite effect
  88. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyand stoking the expectation that it *should* be available was going to make the team look worse for refusing, which ofc they would have had to do
  89. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyall very interesting... I'm relieved bec he was stirring the pot demanding to know mods identities, which as a T&S person he has to know is a deeper circle of hell
  90. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyno, on the sidewalk outside... I was walking over to the Jefferson Memorial to relax after a stressful meeting
  91. May 29, 2023Bluesky · postthe hidden "fairy palace" behind Monticello's dome room
  92. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replygoogle "dc holocaust museum 2009" if you'd like to know- better than I can recap here
  93. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replythe post you can probably find here in screenshots, I'm not gonna repost lest I get banned too, bec the post was her describing how her prev post had been misinterpreted... like, not everything she said is ok but imo she could have learned from feedback
  94. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyyes, they have been but mostly been 3 follower troll accounts so idk that anyone mourned the loss... alice got banned yesterday which imo is sad bec imo she's not a hateful troll but a young autistic woman without US context who could have benefited from good faith conversation
  95. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replysigh... wrt "can easily just return" I don't think she will unless somehow unbanned / allowed back- she's an overly-literal rule follower and has Tweeted about wanting to be able to join an instance w a different mod policy, not to come back here.
  96. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyit's a Monday but also Memorial Day, just fyi... most ppl who work normal office hours are off today
  97. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean literally a bunch of ppl were ranting that whoever invited her should be banned too and like, I technically didn't mods can check my invite tree, but I considered it
  98. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replyAlice said post that got her banned was recap of how her prev post had been mischaracterized... I'm friends w her, assume I'm guilty by association rn so I don't think I'm paranoid. (tho, didn't invite her bec I was worried her autism would make her too vulnerable before blocks 😭)
  99. May 29, 2023Twitter · quotehaving just seen an ex-Twitter Trust & Safety manager spin out on 🦋 I'm still not sure how much of former mod drama here was deep incompetence vs malice https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1663015083738374146
  100. May 29, 2023Bluesky · replysigh definitely I want to move to a federated instance that aligns w my belief that conversations however ugly and hurtful are preferable to what happens when ppl stop talking
