whats the algo situation rn? i have some feeds, but how do i curate them so its not purely chronological? (sidenote: an algo idea would be some sort of prioritization of best posts since last refresh to deemphasize purely chronological)

very interesting escaping the imposed algo and the distortions created by it is definitely one of the draws of bluesky as an alternative

unintended consequences are undefeated this is the difference beteeen working with complex systems with independent actors responding to the changing dynamics versus systems where you can generally model how all the components will interact

there are a lot of reasons i’ve mostly shifted to this app. though im a lay person, there seems to be a lot of potential with the underlying technology, but maybe even more importantly is the mindset and vision of the team that they demonstrate every day this is the way

one of the biggest barriers to expressing my ideas is that there’s often so much underlying context necessary to get through before i can convey the actual idea i’m thinking about

it’s not called tpot unless it comes from the tpot region of twitter, otherwise it is just a sparkly, densely connected subgraph of twitter power users (also called tpot—no relation)

how is this book going to just throw out terms like “usufruct rights” without defining them

Let's do a sheesh chain. That's a single reply chain where each reply has a sheesh with exactly one more e than the sheesh above it, all the way to the fabled 300-character sheesh. The timeline couldn't do it, can the skyline? I'll start: sheesh

broke: ATProto and bsky should only have people i approve of on it woke: people aren't ready for the realities of decentralized social media bespoke: we have an insanely cool opportunity to make better moderation/defensive tooling for victims of targeted and untargeted harassment

our optimism and hope for a better future can devolve so quickly when we fight with strangers for (social) territory. it's never too late to refocus on what you love and share that with those around you. It's never too late.

in pre-industrial societies, a marketplace or festival is where people from different cultures meet, share stories, flirt and debate the basic rule of such a gathering is to lay down your arms at the gate

glad that @kenwhite.bsky.social has joined i think he has some of the best free speech/1A commentary out there and should offer a valuable perspective as the protocol and platform grow and as the culture and norms develop
