Ah, missed this, sorry. Intended audience is broad. A hope is to generalize a lot of to-date technical lingo. What you’re doing looks to be related. Let me know if you’d like to discuss

Oh goodness same. That said, i've been a loyal Lindberg eyewear customer for many years now. Frames are lightweight, last a lifetime, can be endlessly customized before ordering. Expensive, but, get sized, buy once, have frames replaced if prescription changes.

Today, in super fucking biased bullshit polling!

Understandable. If you do decide to step away, I hope you check back in from time to time. The Bluesky platform, and the underlying protocol, are in an awkward liminal space. Many double binds. I have hope that what's emerging will be a healthier way to do big world and locally focused online social

Transparency is a good step, but at this point there’s a T&S credibility problem. “We don’t post about reasons for content takedowns,” has been the official and unofficial line (as recently as yesterday). Now the T&S account is skeeting about a content takedown, tagging the account in question?

I too favor Warn over Hide. fwiw most of these labels have existed in the same place for years. The quoted post seems like this is a recent change and… it not

Self-selecting? Sure, protocols and platforms are that. But i think there are more courteous and helpful ways to describe Mastodon. It has its place, and I respect people that use it to find and communicate with folks of similar interests. Online social is in a very liminal space.

Eh, Mastodon was built on ActivityPub which has been around a long time. Web standards hopefuls (myself included) appreciate ActivityPub for what it is. Before Bluesky it was the only potentially open standard that worked in some ways as a small-world social alternative to Twitter.

I suppose we’ll see as ecosystem dynamics evolve. My hope is we achieve better identity-level interoperability across social platforms, and healthy environments for different types of conversations continue to emerge. Big world, small world, professional, personal, special interest. All have a place
