atproto in one post

Samuel @samuel.fm · Aug 26

atproto is like if you could post tweets to your own website and then twitter would be able to draw in all the tweets from across the web into a normal-looking social app

we need a shoulders of legal and a knees of legal first

I like this definition because at the end of the day “can you do the thing” is the only thing that matters

if we made a tool that made AT sync super easy, what would be your hopes and dreams for it? i have a pretty good idea, but wanna hear any feedback before i get too far along

you should drive all the posts to me in the AWS semitruck

that was my sense. I thought tagging a bunch of the team was inviting a reply - apparently not

still, appreciate you engaging in good faith :)

Samuel @samuel.fm · 19h

I disagree. battling it out is a fool’s errand and simply opens up surface area to get misconstrued and screenshotted - I managed that in two words. what I really should’ve done is not engaged in the first place but in lieu of that deleting my posts was the next best option. I wanted to leave!

I just got the sense it was a lose-lose situation and just decided to leave the thread asap

1000% vibe based. i think it would be weird to overlap stuff down there

ABs should not be allowed to Float!!

we are considering moving it to the bottom. but imo we'd need to get rid of the FAB first

i am still confused what mira meant but I deleted my post in the offchance i had misread the situation and it was being perceived as harassment as that was not my intent

to earnestpost for a sec: the way I saw it was:

- person A tags aaron and jay
- I reply downthread to aaron after he replied
- person A quoteposts me saying "is the whole team going to show up"
- I reply "yeh"

well it’s one year later so that clearly didn’t work did it

unbelievable that this needs to be said given it’s completely obvious if you give it more than a millisecond of thought

I actually think the hand-wavy non-specific setting was hugely important for the tone. the nonsense factions mean that you couldn’t apply a pre-existing good-guys/bad-guys lens and instead just see the brutal pointlessness of it all

I am coining this “anti-worldbuilding”
