if you are either of these groups; do not message me - I truly do not give a Fuck

it is very funny to me that we had the miraculous promise of a new social network from nothing and it took us about 6 months to get fully back to tankies fighting centrist newspaper columnists for internet clout. reminds me of the good old days chxps.

anyone who thinks trains aren't objectively the best form of transportation is politically suspect

we cannot allow 300 million people to just 'hang out' with one another on advertising infrastructure. how would that ever make fucking sense

what i am saying is the only form of online group discussion worth a shit is the Message Board and the Message Board needs to be organised around one hobbyist interest

i think we are overthinking this problem, honestly. i think it's simple: these userbases are just too big. there is no incentive online to behave properly, so people don't. the fractal effect of that is immediate collapse into lowest common denominator bigotry, prejudice and harrassment. mob shit

as someone who has been online for the best of 25 years and has seen social media in every single one of its forms, i believe strongly that there is no form of online community that reaches north of about ~2,000 users that does not disintegrate into desperate recreational insanity

i do not understand why it is that people who start social media projects decide that they are going to traverse the problems of social media communities from first principles. this happens every single time

red aka .Toml Ford aka TOMPUTER Bronson @ahumanfuture.co · 3d

can someone explain to me why the bsky leadership are suddenly in some sort of a beef with their entire userbase

in fairness to them if they had learned literally anything about social networks they probably wouldn't have built one

yo does anyone know what this means

red aka .Toml Ford aka TOMPUTER Bronson @ahumanfuture.co · 6d

Yeah, they're influence assets that hemorrhage money so that much more of it can be made elsewhere as a side effect of their propaganda. Captured marketing departments, really.

I consider myself to be a pretty cynical person by nature. I can't help but zero in on all the things that can and probably will go wrong. But I also realized I have to fight that nature. Because it was keeping me from mobilizing and keeping me from helping others mobilize.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.
