let's check on my hiatus notes...

... and this is all I got before my concurrent caffeine detox sent me to sleepyworld

this is also the most systematic notes I've taken in months

I'm about to leave for Cape Cod and will take a three day detox, but perhaps I will find inspiration in the world of the offline...

too bad I can't bookmark this post so my goldfish brain will forget I ever wrote this

LMAO

<3

I appreciate @norvid-studies.bsky.social defending the better angels of my nature, but the truth is when I was a kid In felt a tap on my shoulder from Gnon, and a whisper, “tag, you’re ‘all sorts’ from ‘it takes all sorts’”

I hope i’ll have the decency to to meet my comeuppance with a smile

eh my attitude to bsky is “just here to troll”. I don’t think I have it in me to exercise community building restraint on two platforms

I expect i’ll end up deleting this acct once it’s too charred

stereotype accuracy is one of the most replicated findings for a reason I guess

my mental model of the bsky median, from memes on xitter, is "anti-AI leftist who thinks each ghibli image drops a nuke on the rainforest". not yet falsified. (see "last man" post in my tl too lmao)

I can't wait to have my own satrapy

"AI ART IS EVIL"

I just assumed this was in the water here. and it is lmao.

the prompt was 100% innocuous

my pinned post is no joke, friend! we must come as conquerors.

oh dang it, the troll worked but I forgot to capture the "before" screenshot

anyway, it was a "why would you ever use twitter again, just come to bsky" post. and I got blocked exactly as I predicted.

freedom of navigation exercises will continue

so you're telling me I'm on a doomed quest?

so is there like an archive of deleted bsky posts then?

I mean just check my username bro

eh it’s a little too syrupy

was too impatient to go for a subtler touch and too vain to re-up something from xitter (I can’t bring myself to self-repost)

oh huh. a search suggested likes were public but I didn't realize this

looks like they are available through the API

kind of fun actually, have to go to a special stalker site to do it. how it should be.

yes. the mechanism as I see it is roughly

someone is afraid of being outed for likes
->
likes shaped by consensus
->
algo sharpens consensus by lack of likes
->
like Overton window narrows

fair. I tend to do this by profile-crawling in-bound likes

I consider the panopticon effect is bad enough to require a very high bar to clear and am skeptical this does, though. I wonder if growth-through-likes can be quantified
