This book is “To Bless the Space Between Us.” An unrelated friend gave me “Benedictus: A Book of Blessings” on my first day in Dublin recently, so it’s clearly a sign I need to get to know this poet.

Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good.

“To Come Home To Yourself”

To Come Home To Yourself

May all that is unforgiven in you
Be released.

May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.

May all that is unlived in you
Blossom into a future
Graced with love.

You have to run some things yourself to fully self moderate, it’s possible but does take some work. We’re working on making it easier.

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

Yet it’s a behavior that persists across social media anyways, with negative consequences for civil discourse and society. Human nature is a contributing factor, but systems that reward outrage only make the problem worse.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
