I bought a mattress heating pad, and it combined with a heavy duvet keeps my nice and cozy, highly recommended

That’s exactly why they’re valuable as a social norm

So what you’re saying is that if I don’t want my hearing loss and tinnitus to be even worse in the case of a crash, I should buy a Mercedes ?

Are these not usually and historically used with physical OTP ?

I don’t see the issue with that unless you believe in determinism & don’t believe in free will, both of which I know the opposite is true

And what’s wrong with being understood ?
I think it’s better to be understood unless the social context is adversarial

Amazing and hilarious that your og account can now be used as a case study on how moderation works on the technical level m

am i the only person on here who has an account banned by bluesky that is hosted on a private server, and so the only person who's actually experienced how the bluesky appview takedowns work

What’s incorrect about it ? Doesn’t matter if one is a gang member or in the military or an academic or member of literally any nation on earth, you go somewhere, anywhere, & there is some kind of enforcement role in society, & online is not any different
Also I take 1d as a compliment, thank you

I do it on Twitter and I’m not stopping just because they are public here, it’s a form of self care and I highly recommend it

If you’re living on a Social Media App and it doesn’t feel like a police state it’s because the police represent your interests and values

And now with your interest in Appview level moderation you intend to be your own police

One only feels the current of the water when swimming against the flow

Kind of worrying my ability to parse β€œIs this AI or did a human write this ?” for this message is coming up blank

I have some theories but I first wonder what your response to that feedback is ?

Oh ?
Why am I posting on BlueSky about this you ask ?
Because of you asked day trading hustlers and even Jane Street Quants where they look for Alpha BlueSky would probably be at the bottom of the list 😌

I would rather just mute people and and have them mute me but everyone wants a cop at their beck and call until someone calls that cop on them

Are there any non-BlueSky AT Protocol Apps, did anyone finish building their pet projects ?
Are there even any builders on this service still ?
Do we have Federation yet ?

Or does everyone still just want a Dommy Mommy to ban everyone ?

This is one of the reasons why the shift from TPOT to tech Twitter was so hopeful, there were like 50 different people making 50 different apps, it was going to be like email, you could sign in with anything !
Then there was a population shift & a culture shift then for some reason everyone left πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I don’t know exactly what I’m doing insofar as I am aware of how much I don’t know, there is a lot to learn, and finding creative corners of alpha you an carve out is something I am very well aware is not easy, I am not naive at how challenging this will be

I’m posting this journey on BlueSky because no one goes here and as far as I can tell I won’t be inundated with a bunch of trading bots
