I like this place. Maybe I’ll post several years of increasingly concerning and erratic thoughts on here.

Threads sucks because it rewards Instagram influencers who were able to just import their already large following & the algorithm just promotes the hell out of their high engagement posts

but as everyone is finding out, Instagram influencers just aren’t good posters. they don’t have the sickness.

I also don’t think it’s good for society or “preventing social-media horrors” if the big networks are endlessly run entirely by the same three or four dead-eyed weird white men.

(And it’s very bad that Jack Dorsey is involved at all here, but hey, at least he’s not the CEO…)
To be clear: I don’t think Bluesky is or will stay a quirky little nerd paradise without ads.

No one should trust any social media company not to be evil.

But you *especially* shouldn’t trust a social media company run by Meta and Mark Zuckerberg not to be evil.

Bluesky = a safe place to jot down a stream of consciousness and be able to read from like minded people

Twitter = allows me to follow scientific journals and current leaders in research

Thread = moves ignorant speculators away from my timeline

Threads is looking better and better. What I wanted from social media was:

* self-promotion from celebrities and rich people
* no control over my timeline
* strict prohibition of any sexual content
* nothing from europe
* no alt-text
* data harvesting to empower genocides

On Twitter in one of my threads someone just said "Threads had 30M signups in one day, Bluesky has lost its chance to become the next Twitter" and he may be right, but what he doesn't know is that people here are like "cool, dodged THAT bullet"

Twitter , Threads , Bluesky... so much for competition breeds innovation

It worries me that I’ve reached an age where I’m no longer able to blame random join twangs of pain on “growing pains” .

Would love to spend a day in the Campbell household just to witness conversations between irreverently funny, sex positive, stand up comedian daughter Grace Campbell and indignant, political analyst father Alistair.

Can’t recall anything like this. In one 20-second conversation, Trump thoroughly provides every element of his crime — and destroys any possible defenses. And for no discernible reason other than to boast to a writer.
