living in dense community has not solved all my problems... if anything, I have more problems than ever.

I feel my college-self [curious, ambitious, uncertain] coming out again for the first time since I left home.

I am once again happily lost in a society that is too complex for me to understand.

i can't tell if i want to be posting on bluesky or on twitter, so forgive my while i cross-post a bit.I'm trying to directly compare what it feels like to post the same sort of thing in both places

main thing we can do rn to make things more welcoming here is writing posts that are easy to engage with - asking questions that have easy answers, participation memes like "post a picture of [whatever]". take the perspective of someone who just got here and ask what would get them to reply
quick icebreaker #3: what's a project you're currently working on (could be very small)? what interests you about it? what kind of help could you use?
quick icebreaker #2:

🔸 what's something you'd like to talk about with more people? be specific! "music" is okay but "[this specific artist]" is better

🔸 go through the replies and talk with people about the stuff you're both interested in!

our optimism and hope for a better future can devolve so quickly when we fight with strangers for (social) territory.

it's never too late to refocus on what you love and share that with those around you. It's never too late.

this is what respected elders and a public commons are normally for.

that there are entire cultures where from the "elders" all the way down to the common people it's considered morally acceptable to bully others is... something.
can i just step in here to ask, in a moment of relative chill before whatever next week brings, that we

- not make death threats
- block more, bully less

engaging with bad vibes makes them bigger amd puts them on my timeline.

i will be unfollowing people who engage with shitty people rather than muting like a responsible node in the global brain

btw my timeline for building a custom Bluesky algo have actually increased substantially. I expect to do it in the next quarter or so.

If you have suggestions or want to help, lmk.

please civilly present an actually interesting idea that i would disagree with, which would substantially improve my life.

let's design an ideal bluesky algorithm together below, here are my thoughts:

- it's just the people I personally like
- if i really like you, then it's all the people you invited who you follow
- if i really really like you, then it's all the people they invited who they follow
- etc.

is it at all possible to create a bluesky culture around reading and commentary on famous talks or papers in computing?

I'd love other nerds to discuss the STEPs work with, or my favorite Bret Victor talks... but it just feels like the wrong medium, unfortunately. How could a client change that?

care works. optimism works. strategy works. collaboration works. creativity works.

if you want to change the world, these psychic tools allow you to do so. You can change hearts and minds through care, optimism, strategy, creativity, and collaboration. It has worked time and time again.

I am (again and forever) calling for you to post pictures of the things you VALUE, rather than posting advertisements of the things you HATE.

Hate ads do not work, they've never worked. You're staring into the void and tearing your own world apart. Snap the fuck out of it!

bluesky is not a cohost or Twitter 2. it is an application running on top of an open, decentralized, authenticated protocol that anyone can extend, use, or interoperate on.

it would be a massive failure for this to become cohost or twitter 2.

calling somebody else naive and gullible doesn’t make you wise, or savvy. it doesn’t even mean you have a better answer, it just means you’re spending your thoughts being critical of others. that’s cheap

u think it’s so bad, why aren’t u actively trying to break it? talk is cheap

maybe TMI, but it's crazy how many dreams in a row I had about peeing and drinking water (including one where I peed my pants!) before I woke up and realized I had to pee.

When you allow your own heart to fill with love, it inevitably spills over to those around you.

The wild god stands in your kitchen.
Ivy is taking over your sideboard;
Mistletoe has moved into the lampshades
And wrens have begun to sing
An old song in the mouth of your kettle.

step 1: i treat you as a human being, worthy of love and respect and a place in my home

step 2: we debate theories on everything else and push each other's boundaries as we grow apart and back together. we assert our boundaries, and deal w/ violations.

but step 2 follows step 1 or it breaks
