Reposted by 🍂 Arashikou 🐸Aura/Moom @moomanibe.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s.

🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I still enjoy being able to flip back to Following to make sure I haven’t missed anything from my most crucial people, though, and I’m not sure I’d be better off without even having that option 030
🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 12/10/2026On the other hand, I don’t actually follow you and only found this through For You For You is my primary way of interacting with BlueSky / ATProto now So maybe this dream isn’t wrong, it’s just everyone else (including default BlueSky Discover feed) has an algorithm skill issue 150
🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 12/10/2026On the one hand, this gives me bad vibes because it’s the same dream that‘s already lead so many social networks to default to or push an algorithmic feed over a feed of people I asked to hear from, a decision which has been pretty universally bad in my experience, at best misguided 140

🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I’m thinking mostly about websites that, even when you go to the UI for choosing specific cookies, make it hard to save your choices rather than go back to All or Nothing 100
🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I get why cookie disclosure UIs are designed to encourage / trick people to click “Allow All.” What’s interesting to me is how many websites seems optimized to get you to say “No Cookies” if you won’t accept them all. What’s the advantage to the website there vs letting you choose? 100

🍂 Arashikou 🐸 @arashikou.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I want to start seeing this in reporting so bad 🥺 I feel like showing people alleged consequences of using AI without showing the actual interactions is subtly contributing to non-users’ disconnection with what AI is & isn’t capable of and what healthy & unhealthy usage looks like 140
