This reads like the author liked the old Twitter, which I think was also very cringe. Bluesky is not promising or much better.

Unfortunately Twitter celebrities seem so starved for an alternative, that I think they're willing to sweep their anti-zuckerberg-ism under the rug in favor of getting back that social media engagement hit. I've already seen it in my circles and I doubt it's unique.

Unfortunately, I really do think threads will succeed. It is filling a void much desired by many, even if done poorly. And chances are, they'll make it better (or at least more attractive or addicting).

I always redo it lol, which is kind of a waste but I enjoy it.

Maybe a related question is what I wish I could do if I had the time (which I will do eventually. Some I plan to do very soon):

• self host wireguard instead of using tailscale
• self host a ACME-like setup for self signed certificates for TLS and HTTPS
• self host encrypted git server for private stuff
• setup a file watcher on clients to sync my notes on-save automatically using rsync (yes I know I can use syncthing. Don't wanna!)

I hate defederation for things like this. This should be a user's choice, not imposed by the instance itself. I hate how the fediverse forces the moderation choices on you.

I dont care that instagram uses activityPub. As long as I can use activityPub myself, thats enough for me. Most people will always stick with big social media, and I would rather be able to interact with them vs. not

I did not like the concept of dwm. Is it good in practice? Changing code and recompiling? I suppose it goes with the spirit of gentoo.

Obama is known for his public speaking skills. What he says does not necessarily match his actions.

Raising awareness is the second step towards solving a problem. Silencing or ignoring it is counter productive.

It may be depressing for you, but for others it is a life or death situation. Would you want them to ignore your suffering if tables were turned? And let you suffer in silence?

That kinda uhh... Makes it worse? They have been letting migrants die every month for years? That does not make it okay at all, neither ignoreable. It makes it way worse.

Yeah it's definitely privileged. When the news doesn't effect you and is just a matter of screen entertainment, then it is absolutely privileged.

And that's exactly what were speaking against.

That's entirely the point. That shouldn't be the case.
