  1. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyIf it were irl I would've just frowned... but it's like on top of so many other ppl repeating that any woman online is a dude / ok if not a dude then trans / ok if not trans than an evil bitch ... like it gets old
  2. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm only explaining because you deleted where they could've seen for themselves that it wasn't a serious thing
  3. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI kinda had thought we were friends 🤷‍♀️
  4. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyand he called me a redditor and I replied as you see, like this wasn't a particularly serious proposal! otoh I DO think it's useful to match low effort mean posts w equally quick "nah that sucks" replies
  5. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyfwiw, this convo started w fates posting "the e in egirl stands for evil" and me replying "downvote" - like, bec I think it's untrue and annoying and perpetuating a negative stereotype, but wanted to reply w the same level of effort & seriousness as the original tweet
  6. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyappreciate this a lot- let ppl play w extensions via plugins / alternative UIs / bots and incorporate once there's a clear winning UX
  7. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol yeah... I saw someone w autism using GPT to help them decode the contextual meaning of emojis... just need a translation layer from the Discord collective emoji sentiment...
  8. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI like the shorthand- on twitter I do a lot of polls including options I don't wanna hear- the wide sample of shallow opinion feels more reliable n less personal than getting one angry reply from someone who was triggered
  9. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · reply🤣 🏈 🦋 🫶
  10. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I think this really depends on the person though, not every has nasty inner critics?
  11. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replydid you notify on both ups and downs? I kinda wish neither got notifications- on my twitter I have notifications down to only those I follow and it seems more enjoyable the less I'm notified of everything
  12. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyes! that's it thank you!!
  13. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhas anyone written abt Reddit dynamics somewhere? I guess I haven't spent enough time there to see anything wrong w up/down vote other than the usual midwit preferences of the masses
  14. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I thought Chad was a mindset of not overthinking but just doing?
  15. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · reply🤷‍♀️ no but I could probably find it if I looked sigh
  16. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyeven tinder has swipe right vs left tho? seems like judging ppl that way is somehow accepted, why not snap reaction to a tweet, especially if up/down is optional?
  17. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyreminds me of something aella wrote about dating nate- that she'd committed to 6 months and then she wasn't continuously in evaluation mode and could focus on connecting
  18. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replythe rule to be kind?
  19. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · reply😢 yeah I never know which problem we should be solving- giving them more information or reducing the topic's visibility bec it's irrelevant to them or just suppressing bad information from adding to the wash of noise...
  20. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol how does this only have replies from three dudes?
  21. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI'm serious lol.. storebrand is in context of name brands
  22. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhy don't you do a series of posts of the most iconic brands n ads?
  23. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I mean there's usually good answers, like the process is carefully designed to minimize single points of failure / limit how much any single person can mess things up
  24. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhich power would you want?
  25. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyit's important tho bec ppl can be very prickly n suspicious, esp if politicians have been talking abt how the election is "rigged", and it's important that ppl have (justified) confidence that the system works and is fair
  26. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyno not really just patience and smiles and having all the workers well informed w similar answers so there's no added confusion
  27. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah haha it's just I'd need kinda scripts to answer all the questions... this is what stresses me out tho I'm sure it'll be fine
  28. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replysee you there 💋
  29. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylike even having "choose two" for the Board seats causes questions- "what if I only choose one?" etc
  30. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replysounds kinda grim but sure
  31. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah but the tough part will be answering the question "so what if I put 5 stars for my favorite and zero stars for everyone else?" etc etc etc hypotheticals

  35. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyaww cheer up dearie 😘
  36. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhah yeah that's my main question- how will ppl react to the change and how much extra capacity do we need in the marking stations to accommodate the extra time it takes

  43. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI assume it'll go up on the Virginia election results website tho ig the format will have to be different or maybe they'll only report a subset of the outcome there? idk. I mean I'm sure it'll all be public at the courthouse but idk how online accessible in what format
  44. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyJake, he was an off-track TB, dark bay w Bold Ruler lines

  47. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replybut we're doing it for the Dem primary for County Board in June so we'll see! I'm in favor of it, but *any* change causes chaos lol and this is a big one
  48. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah haha I understand in theory, it's more that it can be difficult to communicate w voters w limited English, some older voters who seem to be losing their faculties, some neighbors from the group house who have learning disabilities...
  49. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol how do I answer everyone who asks what the scores *mean*? I've had voters w weird number superstitions insist on voting on one machine vs the other bec of the serial number etc
  50. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha oh wow, as election worker the thought of that scares me
  51. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhttps://vote.arlingtonva.gov/Ranked-Choice-Voting here's what they've published so far to explain how June will go here
  52. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyour Elections ppl are quite good I'm sure they'll have everything written up in the handbook; it's just that there are always these bizarre edge cases so as chief I have to understand the laws themselves well enough...
  53. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha yeah I like discussion of the nuances of voting systems, tho tbh it was mostly ppl saying they liked to be able to draw dicks on their ballots 🤷‍♀️
  54. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · postIs anyone else here an Election Worker? convo last night abt downvotes has me worrying abt first time w ranked choice ballots for the June Primary (I'm the Chief so it's on me to get the new paperwork right and answer all the edge case questions)

  61. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · reply🤷‍♀️ big posters gave it a try and went back to their bigger reliable audience, lurkers stay lurking... I'm trying bec I'm quite sick of Twitter and yet don't quite want to give up all my friends...
  62. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhahahahaha yeah I am muting everyone who routinely does this because I don't have enough hours in the day to keep writing replies that I can never post
  63. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhah I have mixed feelings abt the edit button tbh ... it's messy
  64. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replythe point is kinda to not lay down a set of rules and then have someone litigate how they technically didn't violate them- like, it doesn't matter
  65. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI wasn't fully homeschooled, just kinda signed up for it to get out of high school, and then just spent my days at the barn w my horse anyway
  66. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI mean at least the error lets you grab n copy your reply and if someone then quickly reposts their correction I'll paste my reply into a new reply... it's the later deletes that annoy me
  67. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha happened four times this evening and I've had enough. less replygirling more just posting
  68. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, need a thread of orphaned replies somewhere hmmm... whenever the QT URL thing works across ios n web
  69. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I occasionally do the quick delete n repost w typo fixed... but if it's done immediately there's low risk of someone writing n posting a thoughtful orphaned reply... if I don't catch it immediately I'll post a reply w correction
  70. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI guess that's me then really, single culture
  71. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol I should not comment further
  72. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyhm isn't that most ppl tho? or maybe just in the DC area

  78. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI want a 🤢 / 🤨 / 😬 / 😢
  79. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhat if it's more of a UX thing where your downvote UI converts your red down arrow into a negative text reply and then aggregates negative replies back into a count of negative votes?
  80. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyswipe votes?
  81. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · postyou can't "game" human relationships- enough of us will toss out the rule book and say no to extreme couponing of our patience

  86. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhich words?
  87. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah lol, voters are always right n can do what they please, but it is truly pointless and no one would even see it except the scanner
  88. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI want my feedback to be in the form of microexpressions from your camera
  89. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhat's wrong w Reddit? I mean I mostly only use it via search, to find some nerdy forum where ppl have already asked n answered my question, but like it seems to work well enough for that?
  90. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol but the article also says it has no effect in Nevada- that if it receives the most highest votes then the runner up is chosen
  91. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyYou can leave it blank... tho w the machines we use in my precinct it spits back your ballot if it is entirely blank and you have to put it in again and confirm you're sure you want to cast a blank ballot on the touchscreen (more often someone didn't fill it out correctly)
  92. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · reply🤔🤨 are we? I've heard that we take ourselves way too seriously?
  93. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replywhat good does it do though? saying no to all options might feel good but when we election workers count the results we'd just roll our eyes and ignore the number as useless
  94. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol yeah yeah... I'm actually kinda curious abt this stuff... tho think maybe some of the solution is LLMs helping ppl compose better more sensible arguments in the first place and aggregate opinions and translate between points of view...
  95. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replylol like for elections? you can do write-ins in the General elections, not that they do any good unless there're a real write-in campaign
  96. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replymost comments would get a few to many upvotes and no downvotes, some minor controversies would get a few downvotes, and occasionally some nasty comment would get a lot of downvotes
  97. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyI've seen them in local news comments section (Disqus backed) and they seemed to reduce the surly replies a lot- ppl could just downvote and see their name in the hover and feel they'd registered their discontent w whatever recurring culture wars topic
  98. Apr 18, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah lol but you're saying I'm a redditor for replying w "downvote", is it just a matter of which words I used?
  99. Apr 17, 2023Twitter · quoteinteresting this is so split! I do feel like a whole person and sometimes wonder if that feeling makes it tougher to date https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1647810328963457024
