So nice to meet in person! Friendly and genuine meetups not as common as they should be, so 🙏 for making it happen.

This is an example of creating a protocol to serve fairly specific use cases, which makes it more likely to succeed.

Having observed “semantic” efforts like this for a long time, it does seem like @atproto.bsky.social is a good example of how we might learn from past efforts to add simpler and scalable, interoperable structured data to web-distributed applications.

Good to hear! I’ve had similar thoughts. One of the first times I’ve been cautiously optimistic about efforts in this direction in many years. Going to explore and give feedback as well.

In contrast, adoption of SEO micro formats or HTTP/2 was very extensive, because it was incrementally adoptable and websites and devs had immediate, selfish incentives to use them.

Many well intentioned, technically superior ideas have not gained adoption because they were not designed with incentives in mind.

For example, years ago, many smart people spent years on Semantic Web designs that never had real incentives for use.

I wonder if Bsky traction in Brazil is related to how the same thing happened back in the day with Orkut.

Perhaps horse culture is a third culture.

Good interview. New protocols are very hard. Any discussion of whether a new protocol will work has to go deep into both the technical details and the incentives for using it. But I’m cautiously optimistic:

But did home school kind of mean you’re used to knowing your background doesn’t quite fit in? And my feeling (maybe just me) is this is in a way like third culture perspective.

It’s a lot of people but most Americans are single-culture. :)

Haha Wikipedia has a whole article on it

Oh sorry! People raised in a culture different from their parents’ culture. Like some immigrants who are very bicultural, kids of diplomats who grew up traveling? kids of parents with very different cultures, etc.

Do you find you get along with third culture kids? I like all kinds of people but noticed over time my closest friends were usually third culture.

I’ve wondered before if “homeschool vibes” are a thing. I think it is easy to recognize when someone has a deep sense of what it means not to fit into a single system.
April 18, 2023 at 5:25 AM
Yeah, never went to school at all then switched to part time community college at like 14, which was a bit different socially (to say the least) but by and large it worked.
April 18, 2023 at 5:21 AM
Was nice to meet folks!
