Long Lost N.P.C.

ITS SO TRUE THOUGH

I’m finding myself waaaayyyyyy more attracted to people-focused work than i ever would have been pre-transition. Like sure, I’ll still build some software, but LET ME TALK TO PEOPLE PLEASE OMG DONT CHAIN ME TO THIS KEYBOARD CAN WE HOP ON ZOOM JUS 10 MINS THIS TIME I SWEAR

It’s like Trust and Safety has a directive of “if an account was active before the Twitter migration and has more than 5k followers, just permaban them for any report” or something.

I’m gonna fear monger - the string of actions (and inactions) we’ve seen over the last year feel like an intentional strategy for eliminating platform founding users in favor of a more controllable audience of John C.H. Whiteguys who have less embedded history and platform socio-political reach.

Yep, there have been a lot of appeasement projects - discover feed, favorites, notification explosion - that were things the Twitter colonizers demanded… but also things that wouldn’t change user retention.

Putting that effort into decentralization could have been huge.

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

I watch @literallyjustadog.online continue to show grace and compassion over and over and over while simultaneously insisting on asserting her right to be treated with respect.

It's powerful to watch her integrity shine through and I hope everyone else sees it too.

I typically disagree with the idea that companies should have like PR and comms folks - it makes things inauthentic and often uselessly vague and also restrains employees from being able to talk candidly.

Aaron, on the other hand, absolutely should not be speaking for himself in any way. Nooope.

Hi Aaron, a thread.
The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing.
I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...

thisssssss. This is exactly why a “if I fuck up, I should own it immediately and apologize” culture is so damn important. Transparency!!!!

“Look, I’m actively campaigning to make them illegal in all states!”

“Ok kid, this thingy here is called ‘film’… Yes yes, there’s a black and white mode, but you have to switch out the canister…”

those ear piercings you got in the window at Claire’s are limited edition now

the only reason he wouldn’t be that I can think of is if Blacksky isn’t running their own firehose? I’d expect Bsky to filter either there, or at the PDS Proxy they have. Or both.

Yeaaaahhh… i had no idea until the last year or so about some if this, and … yeah 😬

and id guess you probably know way more than me and have “seen some shit” since i’m pretty isolated…

Want to say I made these with words for “dawn” and “truth” but not sure.

Bronze infused steel pendant with three letters in ogham , consisting of lines, half lines, and slanted lines.

Can anyone read ogham and translate ancient Celtic languages? - I forgot what this says. Made it a long time ago.

aww :/ but you’re prolly the best part of the sunrise anyway an you were still there! 💜

No idea what happened, don’t wanna know. (assuming it was about me since I got a notif) But thank you. 💜

am kinda a mess right now. gonna tap out of all the discourses for safety reasons for a while.

I’ve been thinking this same thing the last few days - and unfortunately there are just too many very good reasons to not do this *YET*

Good chance it will go there eventually though, but like 3-5 years at least.

There were often very short term (minutes) aggressive increases following playing games, but less aggression outside that timeframe.

If research comes from CA Anderson and associates, ignore it. It’s Cass Review level bullshit.

As for LLM sentience. Lmao. No. FFS that’s just nonsense.

Admittedly I haven’t been in the research in a few years, but sort of?… it showed that video games typically provided a protective effect against long term violent behavior. But, there was a connection in that violent individuals tended to play violent games - games did not cause ppl to be violent.

what….

“Yes”

Typically I don't go digging and don't care. But, rahæIi seriously blocked me for ... this? I'm all for quarantining around personal feeds, but autoblocking scripts from quote skeets from your 'T&S Influencer' for commentary is a REALLY Special Move.

Awwwwwww 🤭

📝 … before or after…

🤔 Never thought of adding a sweetener—

Promotional graphic with a purple and blue fantasy-themed background and crystal-like formations. The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!
