Jake, you magnificent bastard, how you been?

That's a pretty high bar tho

Uhhhhh.... No I definitely did not hear that. Sounds wild

I would love to watch a documentary catching me up on everything I missed. Hopefully it won't be long before I can just ask an AI "make me a 2-hour summary video of everything I missed in Twitter drama over the last few years"

Yeah, sorry about that... I started dating a burner, and got involved in burner drama, which is basically like being back in high school again all of a sudden. So haven't had time for twitter drama. I miss all you guys though. How's everything been going in my absence?

Just FYI, literally every single part of this is wrong. What you're describing is *mastodon's* federation model, which had lots of obvious problems, which atprotos federation model was very specifically architected to avoid

Yes, but I can currently only offer payment in dogecoin

<jazz hands> OPSEC!

Pretty wild the there's an entire subculture on this site that thinks it's self-evidently *scandalous* that bluesky devs haven't apologized hard enough for a moderation incident in which the offending account was taken down in <1hr, and the backend patched to prevent it from happening again in <1d.

Disappointed in myself tbh. I will Do Better.

Bo-Fu

Dammit, I can't believe they figured out that I'm actually pmarca, my cover is blown!

Now that the cat's out of the bag tho, wanted to let y'all know that if you send me $50k in BTC I can get your startup idea shortlisted for an investment round, hmu

im going on a posting strike from here until the.y make every one not racist or whatever

Newsflash, nerds, nobody cares about "federation", they just care about <list of things that would require federation>

amazing that I can now to go twitter to see fascists saying "America deserved 9/11" and bluesky to see leftists saying "America deserved 9/11"

A detailed diagram describing how to channel anger on social media into productive purposes to anger and confuse others, or at best, entertain.

Social media is the Afghanistan of tech, and Elon Musk is the US in 2002.

100% unironically

Is there any possibility it could work like "restrict interactions to people who <custom algorithm>"?

I tried the AI chili, and I thought it was alright, but it could have used more paperclips

Orgs can set up "name.domain.com" entries for individual employees, and I believe they also (plan to?) support web page based verification as an alternative

Yep. Also a lot of innovative stuff Ringo did doesn't sound innovative to modern ears because everybody started copying it

Can't wait til someone makes the first "Legacy Twitter Verified" mute list

A lot of people who make uninformed jokes about "the luckiest man in show biz since Ringo Starr" don't seem to even be aware that Ringo WAS the competent professional drummer they brought in to replace the shitty one who originally lucked into the gig

Absolutely not.

John and Paul would have made great music in any band, but it would have been very different from the Beatles.

feature request: show me mute lists i'm on. maybe a leaderboard for most mute lists

Some amazing news: an mRNA-based vaccine for a cancer that was previously a death sentence has led to total remission in half of the patients who received it https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/vaccine-pancreatic-cancer-treatment

Holy cow, the entire OpenAI logo is made of paperclips!

Double ROT-13 is stronger I hear
