This app is exhaustingly neurotic Long periods of therapy-posting punctuated by bursts of either apocalyptic political freakouts or horny-posting All vibes no posts really. A kind of stormy subcultural hormone soup of eternal adolescence

Question: what is a low stake technology/technology adjacent thing that you deal with all the time in your life and that bothers you? (Example: your phone rings on your computer/watch/phone all at once, your router splits your wifi into 2 separate networks and it confuses you, automotion plus, etc)

however, once a voice in a network is established, if agency of new members isn’t preserved, the pressure to assimilate outweighs the ability to influence and have a dynamic moving voice. the network ossifies, and through this preserves a historical state. this is a neutral characteristic

social networks develop unique voices, states of thinking. there’s a reason Twitter and Facebook have a “type of person” — so did MySpace. when we embed ourselves into communities, the same dynamic happens. this is what attunement feels like.

online communities are like mind-spaces — I wonder if this means we will eventually create some sort of individual mind-home?

The conversations I like best are usually detailed experiences of the now (or recent now) less so about speculation or deep past

rafa @rafathebuilder.bsky.social · 21/04/2023
I seem to have much fewer personal memories than some other people. I wonder if it has something to with my “state of mind”, which tends to be a lot about “right now”,,, much less reminiscing into the past or even talking about the future

When have you felt respected? What about disrespected? It seems, for disrespect, that it requires building a narrative where another person is attempting to lower your self-assigned status.

people will say “oh you can do moderation” but that doesn’t work when the bots are already as convincing as the average person over text moderation is a tool for managing communities of humans, not for maintaining the humanity of a community

the way to escape the dead internet phenomenon is to develop closed communities whose members have all passed a proof of humanity test that is hard to impossible to fake, like a physical chain of trust (“i met X who met Y who met Z who started this”)

@deepfates.com — do you know how much context “memory” Berduck has? I’m curious to know if they are “learning” and for how long.

if you want to make the migration a success, you have to reply. the signup is not enough, it is the conversations which keep you in an app.

Very confused as to how this cluster decided to migrate together, but very interesting to play it out live. I wonder how the activity graphs are looking at the moment. “Ser, the likes are up 100x. They’re replying to each other ser. The activity is ABNORMAL”

honestly this app should optimise for threads, custom emojis, and memes. let people get deep into their niche visual language.

it’s interesting that the best way to move over from one social to another is to bring a community over at a time. Steps: 1. bring over a micro-influencer (local leader) and friends,,, 2. that person (or node) serves as a starting point. 3. New people can “follow all” — this should be a feature.
