Thinking a lot today about Protocols vs Platforms.

Not optimistic about the fact that there's a deeply entrenched platform mindset out here in a world that needs to burn platforms to the ground.

I log in here like twice a week and every time there's a new random person who's mad I don't like the app icon and it reminds me that this place is just like the old place because people love to be mad about shit on the internet and tell people why they're wrong.

Truly a strange feeling to have grown up with the internet being your refuge and cherished resource only to have it become utter shit and realize that maybe you don't need it and in fact can't use it the way you used to anymore

I keep wondering if the icon is bad on purpose? Like is it trying to be bad to be good? Or is it just bad?

I hate being like this.

Really struggling with how bad the Bluesky app icon is.
