I kind of like the fact that instead of just dying it degrades to text-only. feels like someone turned off the lights

At first the bluesky was designed as a.. perfect website..
the feeds didn't glitch out.. every post was funny & high effort.. there was no inscrutable drama or 'main character's

it was a disaster.

which is why the bluesky was redesigned to this.. 2012 twitter.. the peak of your civilization

simple from here: twitter rebrands to x, three years elapse, the trademark is deemed abandoned, bluesky rebrands to twitter

I saw all three of them today (one picked up my furniture one works at the self-storage place and one at the burger bar I met him at) I am absolutely dadmaxxing
a month ago I was bemoaning having no good older male role models who I could talk to about life and relationships and stuff but somehow I've managed to acquire three different 60-something father figures in seattle

privilege stack includes how early you were to bluesky
i love all of you very much but there's a number of people here who've gotten a pretty big head from Being Here First and it's kind of an active detriment to the community & its perception. i get having more power feels fucking *awesome* but some of yall REALLY gotta settle the hell down

incidentally I feel obligated to point out that "which way western man" is the exact opposite of a dogwhistle because the point is to apply it to trivial or comical referents in a way that mocks the original sentiment

after however many years of being avowedly non-ideological, I'm looking forward to being accused of carrying water for some particular ideology and being able to reply "actually I'm a confucian" and link to substack posts explaining exactly the kind of confucian I am

I want to slowly plunge my hand into this like a sack of dry beans

I remember a month or two ago being disappointed the site was too hugboxxy but now I see we've gone full lord of the flies

looking like bilbo with the ring at my furniture picture I took to send the used furniture guy I'm hoping to sell to. "after all... why shouldn't I keep it?"

it's a shame seattle is so boring because it is definitely the most beautiful place I've lived

I finally got to play real mahjong with my tiles last night!! it went very well, I successfully taught the game to two new people. also I got a haneman (riichi tanyao pinfu dora three)

a guest brought fruit over last night for mahjong night and I think I'm fruitpilled now. I never respected fruit but I think it's good now

a few weeks ago I saw yud qt and call evil something like "everyone can perfectly choose to follow their objective function by asking themselves 'what am I supposed to be doing right now' but you just don't want to" and I think this is the fix to all my executive dysfunction

threads might coexist with twitter/bluesky but it will never kill either because it's targeted at normies and all their posts are boring and the mods are pussies
It’s only been two days, but it seems clear to me that Bluesky missed its moment to be the Twitter replacement.

It feels like Threads is going to eat Twitter’s lunch, and Bluesky will be a cute niche site. Hope I’m wrong, but feels inevitable already.
