if your entire user base doesn't hate you, are you really running a proper social media site?

this is a PvP environment, anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial

and the people cry out for a more balanced meta

bespoke quadricycle @imaghost.ooo · 2d

I don't think being exposed to opinions from both sides is thought provoking or necessary for some kind of idea of false balance

but I think this platform has emulated patterns designed to intentionally create conflict, and the fact so little of the right is here makes this shit inevitable

The Louvre of Bluesky is Libs of TikTok for leftists and it's embarrassing that anything they say has a large footprint here

the youtube vs yt-dlp arms race is hilarious, because of how lopsided it is.

on the one hand, you've got a company with the GDP of Denmark who has about a manhattan-project's worth of developers they can assign to this.

but on the other end, you've got every bored or annoyed javascript hacker.

I envy the train autism. I have car autism and it's basically taboo

I know car dependence is bad! I think less people should be driving! I just think they're cool!!

looking at your ClearSky block list inclusions is a great and healthy way to understand how you need to grow, improve and Do Better

I think BlueSky's ability to nuke quote replies with a block leads to a lot of this kind of bullshit. you really get to curate the echo chamber

one of my favourite things about Australia is that if a coffee shop manages to even open a second location, we immediately becomes less interested in that shit

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

feels kinda mean to the trains too? you can just think they're cool without being autistic

nobody instinctively thinks liking cars makes you autistic

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it
