I'm starting to post links to Masto on Twitter, and links to Twitter on Bluesky. All combos. I realized I was, in my mind, assuming these were silos. That's not a good limit to impose, doesn't work in our interests, as users and developers.
Twitter requires organizations to pay to be verified. It actually makes sense. This was a service they previously provided for free, but they were not a profitable company. Other companies should share in the expense.
Karl, about Tom: “You’re a clumsy interloper and no one trusts you. The only guy pulling for you is dead. And now, you’re just married to the ex-boss’ daughter, and she doesn’t even like you. And you are fair and squarely fucked.”
I'm playing with ideas of how to browse around a network of followers on a social media platform. Bluesky is the first that I've had an OPML interface to work with. So I created an outliner for walking the structure of people and who they follow on Bluesky.
"Once a woman became pregnant for any reason, she would now become the property of the state of South Carolina," said SC state senator Katrina Shealy, a Republican.
A nice thing about Bluesky is that everyone has about the same small number of followers, which suggests that perhaps follower count should not be in the UI. Wondering what other features turn up the heat too much and should be similarly treated.
This is what a linkblog looked like in 2011. Remarkable how no progress has been made in all this time. We were pretty much blocked in every direction.
We're going to have to figure out moderation for ourselves. Waiting for the tech companies to figure this out -- they are very limited as we have learned.
Andy, looking forward to the reworking of MyStatusTool. I need to get back in the saddle as well. I'm going to add enclosure support and work out auto-deletion of old files when the corresponding message drops off.
Almost. He mentions that it should be to "start a record" and "go back through the chain of thought", also "long-lived special-purpose communication apps". MST is semi-ephemeral so doesn't entirely qualify.
I've been thinking to myself that I need to get back to this as well. I still haven't added enclosure support, must get round to that soon.
Receiving you loud and clear. But for some reason couldn't reply - a glitch preventing me using the reply arrow on the first item. Will investigate tomorrow.
