yeah i dont think the self-serve or blocklists are enough, but i do think they could be more satisfied by making some "SafeSky" or something where they have more of their own infra and can ban someone from their zone. idk exactly which things they would run but maybe something like it could work

it would be great if wafflegate prompts groups to set up their own atproto infra bc they don't trust the team to moderate anymore. a win-win

then everyone gets mad about centralized moderation decisions

yes & i think the easiest way is to just keep trying new difficult things. that way you can keep getting good over time and then always starting something else new to keep your humility

thread composer is nice but imo the correct way to write threads is one tweet at a time submitting as you go

squash is great because it doesnt result in a bunch of tape on the tennis court

i dont think so, probably the important feature is seeing who else liked the post in a given convo, which is here yeah

i will make my own discourse then. it is pickleball vs tennis. the battle lines are drawn and they are either 78'x36' or 44'x20'
