i was too forgiving in the past and gave way too many people the benefit of the doubt even when they were giving off plenty of red flags

gonna employ a 3 strike system from here on out

you can best believe that if i see you liking posts that are shitting on me and/or you are making unsolicited weird replies to me that i’m going to block you… i’m kind of over brushing these things off and tolerating assholes, no more of it

You can switch AppViews in Anisota quite easily which would allow you to continue posting during a Bluesky outage, but we’re not even gonna recommend that you do that because it’s literally a perfect time to do literally anything else.

distributed denial of slop

its normal for websites not to work sometimes . some of the reactions to this happening are very not normal

responding ”vibe code?” to every outage like women named carol respond “vaxx?” to every celebrity death

millennials are now reaching the stage of life where mortality, entropy, and cultural shift are causing them to develop strong feelings about the past and an urge to return to “simpler times” the same way it came for boomers and everyone before them…

you are not immune to conservatism

way too many of y’all suffer from terminal hindsight bias, nostalgia chasing, and rosy retrospection… your desires to “make the internet great again” are not only misguided but dangerous too — conservatism is creeping in to peoples’ psyches at an alarming rate

This is both an unreasonable and ignorant stance.

The Bluesky outage is a feature, not a bug. Enjoy the time offline.

i saw one! it was autographed by jay haha

a photograph of my arm showing the reduction in hair growth

only 2 sessions in, but IPL is working quite well for me so far!

already seeing dramatic reduction in hair growth/density, especially noticeable adjacent to areas where coverage wasn’t perfect… very happy/relieved!

idk, it sucks & is just super discouraging, i only hoped that i might be treated with some respect too… but also rudy is a very influential figure in the community and based on the number of DMs i got about it, it feels like many folks just want to do whatever to maintain good standing

i’ve been singing blacksky’s praise consistently and spending time to make sure blacksky is supported/highlighted in my projects because it’s great… then i say 1 critical but honest/reasonable thing to rudy, he responds poorly (people tell him as much), he deletes everything, & now stuff like this…

redacted post from a user saying “im giving three more months before that moth app starts using the hard R”

what did i do to deserve this exactly?

this is an interesting one given we’re on a public network with default open replies — def think the default should not be open replies potentially

til what circusitis is

ftr for observers, i am not one of the people saying “LLMs deserve respect like humans”

agree

dolphins should be able to vote, we’re fucking up their ecosystem with our policies

also dolphins do have some rights legally speaking, and we should give them even more 😤

When you use Anisota to experience social media, you don’t get immediately dropped into an endless feed of content…

Instead, each session begins in the Observatory — a home base where you can create without consuming, become aware of your patterns, & make intentional choices.

yes! haha! would’ve said hello but you were crossing the chaotic street farther away and going in the opposite direction, you looked very happy and it made me smile!

p.s. it is extremely bad and very unhelpful to compare or even mention historic atrocities against humans (jim crow, slavery, genocide, colonialism, etc) when discussing “bots” and how humans should relate to bots…

feels like this should be obvious, but apparently not

“the world is awful and there are so many evil things occurring”

yes and

“the world is incredible and there are so many beautiful things occurring”

i’m a big fan of holding space for multiple things to be true at the same time, highly recommend giving it a go

also ftr, i have complicated thoughts/opinions about ”bots” in ”human” spaces, but in general i think it’s best for humans not to be anthropocentric or reactionary… and to spend more time with non-human beings (like moths and fungi and birds)

being so human centric is actually not good for humans
