"Community", like "Happiness", is something that cannot be obtained by aiming at it too directly

Grindset hustle bros quoting "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life" as if they like Mary Oliver is so ironic like bro do you even let the soft animal of your body love what it loves

sometimes I wish I could cause computer programming to happen via heavy lifting / physical exertion rather than via typing and screen-staring (Bret Victor's Dynamicland is probably the closest thing to this, if only)

something something stuck culture and simulacra There’s a wide open space here politically / culturally for those who can articulate a compelling vision of a better future that isn’t a rehashing of the old

generalizing further: the surest way to kill the inherent joy in an activity is to be dependent on the outcome

app idea: a popup that appears every time you open the site and asks "are you sure you want to scroll through your timeline right now?"

To have a better life, better health etc - get enough sleep To get enough sleep, go to bed on time To get yourself to go to bed on time, stop scrolling & notice when you feel tired

A political movement built on energy and enthusiasm is more attractive than one built on doom and despair

Boston Market recently changed their name to Boston MARKET, a move that increased their market capitalization by 500%

everyone processes differently I suppose but I don’t have time to surrender to despair; there is too much to do, so many things to fix, so much to build!

still bullish on atproto but Bluesky really does need better algorithmic discovery and community segmentation. Custom feeds can only get you so far as of now, it seems

Blue sky is awesome because a bunch of people who like to make jokes and a bunch of people who are incapable of identifying a joke are forced to share space

would you trust yourself enough to let go and let yourself do whatever you want (*actually* want)? what would you be afraid would happen?

Bluesky has the energy of a student housing co-op party (progressive political discourse, pseudo-philosophy, weirdness, nudity) feels like home 🏠

this is genuinely an inflection point, and you (yes you)! have the opportunity to grab hold of a thread in the tapestry of our virtual world and pull it into the shape you want especially if you code, but really for everyone who’s down to work on building this stuff with me?

yes. there’s other ways to deal with even the worst actors. ignore, shun, humorously dismiss, refute. but “bullying” escalates cycles of confrontation that bring out the worst in people. i think bad actors sometimes thrive off the negativity too.

posting about the app and blocks and hellthread is cool but I am also nostalgic for the days of the densely connected subgraph posting about Feelings

summary of bsky Discourse so far: - berduck haters vs defenders - posts vs skeets - techposters vs shitposters - Ban All The Nazis vs Free Speech vs It's A Decentralized Protocol And That's Kinda Complicated Okay - dril vs sex workers, apparently??

oak sprout @oaksprout.bsky.social · 27/04/2023

Reminder for newer folks that the lack of blocks so far isn’t just bc the team doesn’t know or care, it’s bc this place is fundamentally not just Another Twitter Clone, it is a decentralized protocol and coordinating things like blocks is Hard

It is truly regrettable how much simply exercising each morning and drinking plenty of water has done more to benefit my mental health than any amount of journaling and conceptual charts and diagrams about mental models or whatever

Midjourney still seems to struggle with prompts that are supposed to contain two, separate, distinct subjects (or else I am not doing it right, which is also likely)

i want to host a bsky hackathon in which we build the open source bluesky client + features of our dreams -- we can push the frontier of what "social technology" can be... but to do that I need help organizing, and I need buy-in. share this around if you want to make it happen, I suppose! :)
