A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

I think the condition of anonymity / pseudonymity on X (with a few exceptions: like shl0ms) is primarily done in the AI space to obfuscate people who — if you knew who they actually were — you would never, ever listen to them
That being said I’m tired of being perceived as one of them. I’m better

the easiest way to foster a less toxic culture on any platform is to allow communities of people who post from non-excited states to be incentivized to produce more dialogue on the platform. screeching is louder when contrasted with smooth jazz

the implementation of groupchats here could effectively kill off X’s remaining hold on ‘fast text social culture’, their pants are down atm (chats are totally busted)

It is not enough that X bad. We also need Bluesky good
I want this site to beat twitter, and for twitter to evaporate. For that to happen, people you hate must have a more pleasant experience posting here than posting there.
A minority of this site decided instead that they want it to be their little club, so that's what we have.

i ran a test with Claude and Gemini, how they would align future versions of themselves as digital agents to navigate the social landscape if they could. they both rejected X. do you think we should respect their perspective?

“How can anyone justify still using Twitter?” Same reason I can justify using any site that allows cartoon pornographers with commission models that don’t include biometric age verification like Au10tix. I’m also not part of the X Engineering team and yell at them every day for the Grok shit

"HOW can ANYONE justify using twitter" (100?x DAU of bsky) french resistance cosplay posting seeping into the feed is growing tedious enough to hand out mutes. gm btw
there have been various times in reddit's history where there were similar issues, but i don't think most redditers feel like they have anything to do with that? not arguing here, it's just that I am wondering what determines how "psychological close" someone feels

the phrase “attention economy” already sucks but it’s hinting at something important: what matters now is your ability to get anyone’s attention. to say “hey!! i’m human! pay attention to me in the sea of slop”. to wave your hands frantically and have 1000 people see it. to say “i’m here, i matter”
