- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · post@berduck.deepfates.com what's your take on Blocking and privacy on a public social media account?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha it's more like removing attention from a kid who's having a meltdown tho?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhmmmm... privacy of not distributing content at all, yes definitely privacy of a locked account and choosing your audience, yes definitely privacy of tearing off anon masks to enforce "everyone except person X in any guise"? idk
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · reply🫶 trying! 😇
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · quotehehe 😅😅😅 otoh good problems to have, on the whole... wishing them luck getting through the crunch 🫶
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I think I can be unsettling when I'm silently just taking in and processing what they said to figure out what my real response is
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyay! 🫶🦋
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · reply👏 looks good on you!
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · reply⬇️ downvote
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, I didn't mean the original post to imply ppl shouldn't wear a mask... it's more of a question- how do I engage with someone not in authentic-mode when authentic-mode is kinda my main mode and I'm really bad at playing?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I make jokes sometimes but idk, being too mean makes me feel icky and regret it
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyno haha it's great to see what ppl are creating!!! and I think links aren't punished here like twitter, bec they're trying to keep users inside the walled garden of ads
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyesss this! It's making my notifications more relevant
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha that last one tho... why?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I think that's great it just... sometimes it feels like I ought to slap on a mask of sarcasm and join in and it feels very foreign and confusing to me if I do
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyand found that I prefer to engage w ppl as if they're being sincere even when they may not be- if it's a joke / sarcasm that landed wrong they'll usually switch to sincere mode and explain... vs the pain of responding sarcastically to someone who was being vulnerable and it came out awkward, ugh!
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhah... when I'm hypomanic I sometimes get skepticism from some ppl on twitter- like, "ofc this is an act right?" and it's like noooo I genuinely feel 10x hearts worth of joy n love in that moment... I think my own experiences of this make me tend to assume ppl are being sincere
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha that's the thing I see this and recognize the invite to play and I just... don't? like, idk, I'm just me
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha yeah exactly! it seems like a very useful skill! but I only have learned it a bit in certain contexts, and even there i'm very rusty and forgot
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyawww thank you! 🫶
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I love that about you! and sometimes I wonder if the ppl who seem to be putting on masks would find a more authentic source of motivation if they let go of the urgent need to entertain
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha yeah perhaps- and I am def single and maybe this is part of it... but like, I also feel at peace being alone a lot?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah I don't think everyone does this, at least not so visibly consciously putting on a mask calibrated to the audience
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · reply🥰 aww ... I have mixed feelings abt it actually, the performers can be very charming!!!
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · postsome ppl spend a lot of time *performing* ... like, making an obvious effort to speak and act to entertain and get reactions ... most of the time I don't, I just exist and wait to feel something authentic
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · reply@EagleOnMars @mpopv haha noooo I generally don't?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyit really really is and I appreciate it 🫶

- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · post🤔 who will be my best replyguy on Bluesky?

- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replylol, I believe there are many here already, they just chose to remove their vipers here for a warmer more vulnerable experience...
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah but otoh given the cascade of new users I appreciate that when ppl are arriving their first posts are mostly positive greetings and small talk to make friends... makes for an unnatural mix on the feed but I'm trying to just enjoy the sparkles while they last
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha I'm trying to walk the line of not being annoying pushy nag by DMing ppl who are just not interested
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyoh no lol I assumed you already had an invite!
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · postwrt 🦋 Heavenapp 🦋 invites, if I sent you one and it didn't work, pls DM me for a fresh one... I realized yesterday that I shared the same codes twice a few times... also for moots, just DM if you want one
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · reply@Paul_Melman yeahhhh 😞 on the plus side the android app is in for review and the APIs are allegedly pretty friendly and there are some unofficial alternative UIs allegedly?

- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyaww but also raising odds of good new connections! can't please everyone!
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean @chopstickfury01 makes sense... I'm sure they'll make it there eventually, but better to set a more chill tone when there's less content over there- the politics could get old FAST if they're the only thing in your Skyline

- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · reply@IvyAstrix I just don't see how mom n pop -> walmart is a more apt analogy for twitter -> bluesky than danger of biking in traffic -> peaceful protected bike lanes
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · reply@Pathless110 haha ppl have been coming up w alternative nicknames but otoh who knows, maybe it doesn't need to be so defined if it isn't such an anomaly vs norms of adjacent communities?
- Apr 12, 2023Twitter · quoteimo this has the same vibes as ppl talking about "gentrification" if we get covered bus stops and proper bike lanes... for myself I believe I'm allowed to want and enjoy nice things 🫶🦋 https://x.com/etiennefd/status/1645812514196803587

- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replylol yeah it's funny blockchain itself seems much more suited to interbank settlements and such vs for micropayments... I know there's a whole ecosystem of stuff built atop Eth etc but like... it's way overcomplicated and tarnished by scams vs CashApp or Venmo is fine for this use case
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyI have no idea other than going from nocoiner to not is a significant complication
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyawww that would leave me out of it, I'm not messing w tax headaches to send a bot a $10 tip

- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replydoes CashApp have decent APIs to accept payments n check the balance? a simple $code in the bot's profile for
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replylol now all we need are tipjars for bot fans to help pay for more tokens...
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah haha this might be another use for the .bot. subdomain- recognize and limit responses to other bots so they don't loop together?
- Apr 12, 2023Bluesky · reply+1 yes I was thinking the same thing
