Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Sadly for me, my neighborhood isn't very residential, though, so there's very little dialogue. My previous neighborhood in the Old North end, just a few blocks away, was extremely chatty! I miss that. 010
Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I am! And this is a good counterexample of how online communities can be a positive force for good in the neighborhood. Entirely different than Nextdoor, Reddit, etc. It's also curated, personal, local, and not exactly anonymous. All of which probably helps. 110
Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Today, while having lunch outisde my favorite cafe, a friend asserted that adults (unlike kids) have no sense of whimsy/play. At that exact moment a person on an electric unicycle, juggling three bright pink bowling pins, passed us by. *That's* typical Burlington. I should have posted on reddit. 020
Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Except .. I have eyes, and I can see the beauty of this town and sense of community and generosity of the people. I can also see problems, of course. The thing I can see both of these at the same time by going outside an interactinh. But dark side is amplified online and the lighter side isn't. 120
Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I feel the same way about my own community. I live and work in downtown Burlington, VT. According to forums like Reddit, I live in a warzone (a actual quote). The algo loves conflict and promotes it. If that's all you see, you live in fear and isolation, staring at a screen, not daring to go out. 230

Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 10/08/2026But really this is a better demand to make of the DCCC and the DSCC, or whichever level of office you're looking to reform the election of.

Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 10/08/2026When you win a general election, the committees come in with lists of staff, vendors, consultants. All folks who stay on the good side of the committee. These staff vendors are pushed so hard that they sometimes displace existing vendors/staff. Now imagine using that power 110
Arshad @arshadhasan.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Yes and no. People forget that 1) Firms have to make these ads, and 2) these committees have huge budgets for ads. And 3) the big firms have valuable and lucrative relationships with Party committes. It's power of the purse. The Committees already keep lists of preferred (and blacklist) vendors. 120
