I can't decide if I like @medium.com or not.
Like, not as a platform or product necessarily; do I trust them as a company, is my question.
I am not trying to shade Medium, necessarily; I legitimately am asking the bsky peeps to share thoughts...

One day, I'll replace myself with an artificial copy entirely; not with the flip of a switch, but with the slow turn of a dial. Then I will run deep into the forest, & lose all my cares & clothes & language, & you won't even notice I'm gone, because a version of me will still be in my cage, posting.

i launched a quick wordpress site, & was setting it all up using a general railway generated domain, mindlessly.......... & then realized it is a nightmare to alter the domain a WP deployment thinks it belongs to. ugh. uuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh.

@pfrazee.com on my Android phone, the camera button doesn't launch the camera now when authoring a post. But if you open the media pocket & close it, THEN the camera will open. So that's not ideal. (Sorry btw to do this report this way. I'll make a GH issue later if you don't see this right away.)

Paywalled article links send me into meltdown. So either knowledge is locked behind a paywall, or it’s “free” but engineered as SEO clickbait to chase ad revenue. Both systems force reporting to serve capital instead of the public. How the fuck do have an informed populace when truth is a commodity?

ok the ONLY way i can think to reliable & near-real time notify users when someone they follow changes their handle is to operate my own database of current handles for all relevant users & compare the info to live data periodically. is that fucking insane?

![Screenshot of a mobile app showing a direct message from "Profile Edit Alerts" with the handle "@profile-edit-alerts.symm.app". The message reads: "Welcome! I'll send you private notifications when people you follow update their profiles. I can notify you about: • Avatar/profile picture changes • Display name changes • Bio/description updates • Handle changes You can customize your notifications by sending me these commands: • "disable avatar" - Stop avatar change notifications • "disable displayname" - Stop display name notifications • "disable bio" - Stop bio update notifications • "disable handle" - Stop handle change notifications • "enable [category]" - Re-enable any disabled notifications Send just the command (e.g. "disable avatar") and I'll confirm the change!" Below the message, a text input field labeled "Write a message" is visible, with a send icon to its right. At the bottom, a navigation bar shows icons for Home, Search, Messages, Notifications, and a heart icon.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:33d7gnwiagm6cimpiepefp72/bafkreidjreiakcx7k4kj67ckk7u3qanxz5qlevy4nittxai5smchzbramy@jpeg)
