Me: cantankerous and curmudgeonly but in a way people find charming 💕
Some days my response to the parasocial relationships is “give them nothing”
Other days it’s, “well if youre gonna act like you know me anyways it may as well be accurate”
Assuming given the large number of venture capitalists on the speaker lineup for SXSW a lot of founders will be in attendance hoping to pitch
saw someone say that we should make new things instead of rehashing popular things and yes. pls
Chaotic but in a way people find charming 💕
hacker is the word to describe me btw
idc what you heard or who said what
unrelated but why do you have a !hide label from @moderation-br.bsky.app ?
(it's so good though)
not me of course but some people I've heard of but don't know personally also allegedly hack the police but allegedly it doesn't always get out because that would probably be embarrassing for the police to admit, I assume
Locking this thread because the answer here seems clear. Figured it was mainly ~that~ word and communicating something to a particular audience in a way that touched some hearts and minds.
Thanks y'all
What has Cory Doctorow done to garner tech people's respect and admiration? /g
If you think of Blacksky as [Z], the [X]'s and [Y]s become apparent.
For any problem [X] caused by big platform [Y] there exists an inconvenient, underfunded, less known solution [Z]
Folks will never use [Z]. They will outright reject it when presented with [Z]. Paranoid individuals use [Z]
Organizers must make it cool to use [Z]
Running [Z] communally avoids [X]
Money lets unqualified people have power
Stuff can and will be taken out of context even if you feel justified, just remember to take a break sometimes and remember your goals. It won't always be easy, but Bsky does need better communication to its users. Good luck.
I think Rudy had some good advice:

Behold, a pattern
big platform -> betrayal -> smaller platform that advertises better morals -> betrayal -> ... -> ✨ communal shared infrastructure ✨

Letting Kristi Noem give a press conference before she realizes she’s fired is a pretty hardcore start to white history month
