  1. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replysure berduck, so the question is, what can be done to actually resolve a conflict where ppl on social media are very angry with each other
  2. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyyep Berduck, maybe w you as wise kind duck-friend to teach us all your ways? what do you think can you help?
  3. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyaww... I *do* have hopes for LLMs maybe to help in more preventative proactive ways... like esp for neurodivergent ppl to get feedback abt how their draft post could be interpreted before they confirm they want to send it...?
  4. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyyep, and the intimidation factor even if there's no real plan, and the norm of intimidation being ok, and frankly the potential for continued interactions between angry ppl to increase the risk of it getting serious...
  5. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replylol, this meme just needs @berduck.deepfates.com as the therapist to help resolve conflict...
  6. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyidk I mean "gamified" is probably the wrong vibe here... like, current case aside, when someone is posting serious threats the concern is the actual intent & risk of harm not just whether you can coerce them into saying a different set of words
  7. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyunder Moderation there's "blocked accounts" where you can find a list of them all... imo is easier from web UI where you can use "find", or can paste their @ into URL
  8. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah... but I do think the ambiguity & gaslighting effect of deleted posts is unhelpful- like, if deletion were in the interest of the "victim", they would not be posting screenshots of it... a retraction that removes the post from distribution but keeps it visible via link imo would be better...
  9. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replybec you can erase the bits and track down the screenshots but it lives on unresolved and bitter in the human memories of everyone who saw it
  10. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyimo the question is how should platform / mods handle something like this... one side wants alice banned from bsky entirely, the current result is the post is deleted but has had more eyeballs via screenshots than the actual post probably... imo none of this really resolves the conflict
  11. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replyit was a tasteless and poorly worded "joke" from alice after a day of feuding abt racism and has been deleted ... like, I don't think the post was ok bec "no death threats" is a clear line and mods don't need to be adjudicating jokes, but otoh it's hard to take it seriously as a threat
  12. May 27, 2023Bluesky · replypretty, thanks for sharing!
  13. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyaww just unblocked and removed from my mute list- scroll up for explanation maybe
  14. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha some of those blocks were because moderation & muting wasn't working properly at the time, I assume it's better now and figured I oughta reverse some of the blocks if ppl vouch for accounts 🫶
  15. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhahaha yeah I have a lot of those vibes due to past trauma
  16. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha, if you tell me their handle I can reconsider case by case ...
  17. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I didn't see it firsthand but all the ensuing drama... like, imo this is primarily abt who has power to censor other ppl's (legal!) speech, aside from the object level offense which I won't judge bec didn't see it
  18. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyonline mob warfare
  19. May 26, 2023Bluesky · postI was tempted to follow the new skies feed but then remembered my prev Delores pfp and "We all love the newcomers. Every new person I meet reminds me about how lucky I am to be alive and how beautiful this world can be." ... I don't wanna become Wyatt...
  20. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol but like, I think the actual lesson is that semi-pro beats amateur
  21. May 26, 2023Bluesky · postcopied all the accounts I have blocked into a Mute List... I don't exactly stand by all the blockings - maybe they blocked me first, maybe I got tired of seeing their lewds, maybe they use hammer emoji, nonetheless... https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7eb2rkqterqn7zvs6r52jroz/lists/3jwnvfn6yhs2n
  22. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylmao... seriously tho let it rest, I'm sure Missy has plenty of friends who can get her a code if she wants one, one random person here is not *actually* the gatekeeper, despite display name to the contrary.
  23. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyone of us, one of us, one of us
  24. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyI stg yall need my blocklist and then peace out of all of the bad-faith conversations that are going nowhere
  25. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha sure tho I am currently trying to pull my blocks -> a mutelist to share, in nerd mode...
  26. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyengage w what you want to see more of .... engage w what you want to see more of <3
  27. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyI feel like the ppl who have a specific issue & need funds usually post an explanation w a link inside the post, rather than an all purpose permanent link?
  28. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean some of the ppl causing the most chaos are literally ex-Twitter mods w an axe to grind and "community builders" w prominent donation links ...
  29. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyif you're taking fun suggestions... maybe a sky feed and/or a bloom feed? bloomposts are my fave 🌸
  30. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replya coating of pollen on everything for months... other than that really pretty n green n nice
  31. May 26, 2023Bluesky · reply🌸 🌻 🌺 🪻 🌸 🌷 🌹 here have some flowers n have a relaxing evening 🫶
  32. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah haha this is why Mutes *can* run client side
  33. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replysigh, imo "Blocking = they can't see my content" is misleading (which can be *harmful* if ppl post doxxable details!!!) when it's all public & they can still see it if they just log out... but be that as it may, if you let it be client side the blocked can just run a diff client, one step easier
  34. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replynot much, hanging out at work late n playing w the API and chatting w a friend about a trip to Monticello on Sun
  35. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyvery nice... your new home in NJ?
  36. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha that's literally all TPOT is - cluster of users who've been brought together by the social media algos <3
  37. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyTPOT Cluster Feed hehe :)
  38. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol and this is a Good Thing
  39. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyimo yes - I'm replying to you from the TPOT feed rn and if Xenia is there it's a better feed right?
  40. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyNo, something like a Mutuals feed is specific to you... and even the generic ones have to check for & filter out blocks
  41. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol it means they're all living in my backyard ...
  42. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyhehe just ran my script for you - 755 moots!
  43. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replynice! I'm down to 50 ppl I follow who don't follow me back, some are invitees who've not been back since joining or twitter moots who aren't particularly active here

  48. May 26, 2023Twitter · reply@danielbrottman lol very good question!!!
  49. May 26, 2023Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 anxious triggered fear of someone physically attacking me (much less intense but still negative) being generally "upset" from online drama & other ppl's emotional reactions feeling exhausted and achy and anhedonic and flat
  50. May 26, 2023Bluesky · postjust counted my moots and I'm at 926 ... gotta get to 1K!

  66. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyso would you use your superintelligence to help the police find a murderer if you know they'd be eligible for the death penalty if caught n convicted?
  67. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah berduck, you're right.... but what do you think about police n military use of force?
  68. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replywhat if the ppl involved have decided that the only way they will "feel safe" is to destroy their enemy?
  69. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replywhat about situations where there's already conflict n distress- how do you know which is the "good person" and which is the "bad person"?

  76. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replythey want Twitter w hyper-LW mods, which ig was maybe more the case before Elon? like, personally I didn't run afoul of moderation there under either regime, but it's super annoying when ppl I like got banned for using a naughty word or something
  77. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyfrom skyfeed.xyz tho idk if it's quite working tbh.... is there another option?
  78. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol ummmm...?
  79. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyimo custom feeds sooner would've helped allow different communities to coexist without running into each other so often... but I understand why they felt pressured to build out all the mob warfare tooling first
  80. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyooo this would be so helpful in reducing the effort to build custom feeds on top of embeddings
  81. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyay- if you got to their profile -> feeds tab you can add it!
  82. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah it seems a bit off but also 🤷‍♀️
  83. May 26, 2023Bluesky · reply"Mutuals" - I love knowing that we've both opted-in to engaging w each other and will try harder to reply more to ppl there
  84. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylike, 90% of the problem is that they don't mentally note & respond to minor signs that they're a bit too *much*, so then it always feels like looming tension between more forceful pushback vs accepting more attention/ forced intimacy than you really want
  85. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol no no see this is the problem w even talking abt it- the ppl who are fine n fun back away vs the ppl who set off alarm bells stay oblivious
  86. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyou post the most friendly n interesting things too!!! 🫶
  87. May 26, 2023Bluesky · quote🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥
  88. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I think what's underappreciated from the outside is the amount of lowkey weird n needy attention, vs the much smaller quantity of "horrifying"
  89. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol I feel like everyone *could* cultivate a bigger following if they put in the time and focus on metrics rather than their own enjoyment... but imo is better & healthier not to!!!
  90. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replypeep my twitter replies recently smdh
  91. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyes! I removed it from my pinned feeds- so long and good riddance!
  92. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replynah I'm not doing it quite like that, tho also lol I've had enough experiences of not being visibly femme vs when I point out I'm a woman... it matters in two ways- non-moots taking you more seriously by default and not having the parasocial weirdness that happens w femme pfp
  93. May 26, 2023Bluesky · reply"she" 🤣
  94. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyep- just showed up in app store... there's a gear button for choosing your feeds and organizing which ones are pinned
  95. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyalso who's building the OnlyBots feed for all the bots none of the messy human emotions?
  96. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol no no, the other account is super obscure
  97. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replylol, it's funny how over time I shift more and more posts to new account bec I worry someone will think I'm subtweeting them, even when I'm not
  98. May 26, 2023Bluesky · post🎉🎈🎊🎈🥳🍾 gonna spend all my time in the moots tab from now on bec y'all are the best!
  99. May 26, 2023Bluesky · posteveryone should always maintain a sub-500 follower anon account for that screaming into the void social media experience
  100. May 26, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah- I've been playing w this setting on Twitter recently- the "only ppl I follow can reply"... it works, but does kinda prevent discovery via replies... I think I'll stick to my prev stance which is notifications are only for ppl I follow, and then I'll scroll the full replies when in the mood
