Woah! Hi! Yes, would love to see you and catch up!
Wait, did you move to RI?
Just rub some AI on it

Literally the first thing that popped into my head

This is the only way this platform doesn't just become Nightmare Rectangle 2.0

5 writers I've read 5+ books by:
Adrian Tchaikovsky
Max Gladstone
Elizabeth Bear
Daniel Abraham
Brian McClellan
Blindsight by Peter Watts: big idea SFF, just the way I like it. first contact story, truly _alien_ aliens. existential horror. space vampires, too? anyway, this one is maybe the bleakest book I've read. have a unicorn chaser ready.
Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke: about thinking probabilistically, by a former professional poker player. this one has influenced how I think and communicate ever since I read it. in world that values loud certainty, I deeply wish more people would read it too.
The Dagger and the Coin series by Daniel Abraham: slow burn fantasy that deconstructs a number of fantasy tropes and plays with the pieces. best villian arc I've ever read. and I'm a sucker for SFF with economics as a driving force.
Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence: takes a fun concept (what if wizards were... lawyers? and fought gods?) and builds an intricate world around it, with some biting jabs at end stage capitalism along the way

ok, I'll bite
Fun to realize how long I've mistaken an energy and mental health management problem for a time management problem.
The discord servers I'm in have channels like "heavy-topics" or "politics" that I can mute or unmute at will, and choose when to engage. Active moderation means those are actually kept separate.
I don't think bsky's model can be used that way.
2. Curation is reactive, not proactive. You can mute and carefully follow all you want, but you're going to be playing some degree of whackamole.
I want to know in advance what I'm about to see: what my friends are up on a weekend or today's freshest horror.
1. It's public. The healthiest online communities I've been a part of in the last five years have been semi-private Discords. Small communities and active moderation matter.
Hi friends, from Twitter.
Been here a while, mostly lurking. I am 50/50 on whether bsky is going to be useable for me. Bsky is a more thoughtfully built Twitter in a lot of ways, but I'm not sure it's overcoming the two things that killed Twitter for me.

how rude to put me on blast like that, here in a public forum
"Two" does indeed count as "any at all", so: technically correct!
Your tomatoes are doing waaaaaay better than ours this year!

Ugggh, I'm sorry. Anti-fave.
