I mean, it sort of describes the intent of Reflect Orbital.

Wow, teach me your secrets! When I try to point out nightmare for privacy these things are (from insecure IoT devices to commercial data collection to state-sponsored actions) people just always seem unphazed.

Maybe Meta should change the name of the department from PR to Reply Guys, because that seems more appropriate to the energy they're bringing.

I know many people have found the same thing when teaching in front of a class (myself included).

An explanation of how these profiles do or don't relate to the ones shown in about:profiles would be very helpful.

On Mastodon there's an option to follow people but not see their re-posts. It seems like that would help somewhat. I would have expected that to exist on Bluesky as well, but I admit I don't see a way to do that in the UI. The closest thing I know of is the OnlyPosts feed.

Maybe its a regional thing, but I almost never saw that at that time.

What about all the people who go everywhere in what are sweat pants or flannel pants, flip flops, exercise gear, or technical outdoors gear (think Arcteryx or Patagonia)? I feel like that would be a pretty noticeable difference in casual culture from the 90s.

I wonder if this is actually viewed as a plus by some services (e.g. news and streaming sites), since it makes sharing an account more difficult and annoying.

Clearly we just need a BetteridgeBot account that provides this service automatically.
