Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 13hWhat’s the estimation you have on how many people this would actually get interest from, enough to bring them over from X or anywhere else? 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 21hIs this daily, weekly? Where do I get my learning scientist subscription? 010
Reposted by Bryan (they/them)Prisonculture @prisonculture.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear. 221836512
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Is it Chick-fil-A? Harry Potter? Walmart? Target? Kanye? Kevin Hart? Buffy? Apple? Microsoft? Google? You cannot boycott your way into morality. It’s doesn’t work. 130
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026A reminder to all of you mocking John Gruber’s post: first of all, I have no particular opinion about the man and will continue to not. He’s an Apple blogger and I woefully ignorant about many other things. But I feel it incumbent upon me to remind you all that you’re hypocrites about something. 120
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Who, exactly, has been arguing that AI might game “human consciousness”? Not Will! Not anyone I know! And actually “I think you are a robot” is exactly what people consider dehumanization and you saying otherwise is a gigantic self-own, and you know it. 160
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026There’s not a single website or platform that I can use and not be punched in the face daily by all sorts of bigotry towards me in one form or another, and some of that shit these sites don’t even consider bigotry. In a situation like that, why would someone leave the community they already built? 010
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Reddit likely has as much racist and white supremacist bullshit on it as X does. It’s just got nice little blinders people can put on and pretend it isn’t there. Seems like the real issue people have is seeing bigotry, more than the bigotry itself. 100
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026I might also be that many of us simply refuse to let a pitiful excuse for a man run us off a platform that we made what it is until we can safely bring our communities other places. I think it’s reductionist to flatten people returning to or never leaving X to one stereotype. 120
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026I know a LOT of Black, trans, disabled, fat, and ND people who still use X & who are absolutely far stronger pracitioners of revolutionary and liberatory politics than many of the folks on Bluesky. It might be that some of us have a lot more experience living & thriving under oppression. 121
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026True, on Bluesky people love to stealth their bigotry I gotta say, I’’ve been harassed and treated far worse on Bluesky than I ever was on X or Twitter as an outspoken fat Black trans person. It might be that the platform is so large that we all have different experiences over there. 030
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026How many people yelling at people going back to X use Reddit? Because if so, y’all are just fucking hypocrites. 100
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026I thought this was obvious. People only do things, ultimately, because they believe it will make them feel good at some point. 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026BUT EUGENE IT’S BAD THAT WE ALLOW BAD PEOPLE TO SAY THINGS ONLINE 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Got to say that I agree. Will’s post is not at all incensed or frustrated. Incredulous, maybe. 170
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Uhhh Josh this is called dehumanization and you should have a fucking problem with it 160

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Ike, you need to see what the brilliant and talented @grimalkina.bsky.social did just in the last two days: bsky.app/profile/grim... She’s one of the founders of Pluralsight’s Developer Success Lab, an actual real live psychologist focused on software teams. 320
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026I know that I say nobody changes their minds because someone corrects them on social media but just in the last 24 hours I took multiple turns around that silly math AI study, thanks to @byarielm.fyi and @grimalkina.bsky.social - each turn leading me to learn more! 040
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Then I got recorrected by @grimalkina.bsky.social and yet I still Do not think the study is a net negative, just messsyy 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026It doesn’t actually show this! It shows how you ALREADY treat people in general. We don’t have any science that shows the reverse at this point - it’s too early. But we do have a lot of science that says abusing video game characters doesn’t make you more likely to abuse people or animals 010
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Lmao Dax is so funny and also right but also often hypocritical like most people 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026We definitely have the harder road, and its an excellent illustration that “smart” often applies to very narrow domains, while “influence” unfortunately, does not. 100
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Ahh well this I agree with you on, as I’m sure you know. But of course, the problem is that it is _also_ a *very* good way to get your message out, and in fact, much of the reason for that is inherent in its design! 100

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Oh I’m gonna be as soon as Scott responds to me - he forgot I have a spaces compatible account :-p 110
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Is it? What is the purpose of Barack Obama having an account on social media? It’s certainly not to be read only by people who agree with him, or by a much smaller percentage of the population. Are we mad that the Pope has an account on there? 100
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Gotcha, the elite part caught me off guard, since in my experience people use “elites” to mean “individuals whom I think are or should behave like institutions because they have a lot of money and power” 100
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Hahah same! Now it makes me want to do more Duolingo math! 020

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Science humans! I am looking for you to review an experiment design that I did with Claude. I would like you to have formal experience in this stuff, since I don’t. Hit me up! 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Again, this is why I *never* left X. I just don’t use it hardly ever. I go there once every couple of weeks to look at it for 5-10 minutes, and then move on. Been way more effective than *swearing off it* in a fit of pique and then missing my friends before I’d built up new spaces. 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Ehhhh. It’s really easy to place this at the feet of individuals, but the reality is that you’re working against millennia of human behavior patterns when it comes to socialization. There’s a reason change management is a profession. 200
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026Unsurprising, but also shouldn’t be that big of a thing to fix! It’s just using those same values over another lexicon 000
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026I learn new shit every week! This must be exhausting 010
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026YESSSS YESSSSSS THIS IS SO GOOOOOODDDD (I did so poorly on so many of the questions bc I was lazy and tried to do it all in my head and kept making silly mistakes) 120
Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 12/10/2026But also everyone should move to @colibri.social RIGHT MEOW so @lou.gg can work on it FULLTIME 110
