The tax deal didn't pass for the Tampa Bay Rays stadium that got hit by the hurricane. Sounds like Rays relocating. Nashville?
BOTG report:
I am visiting California for an Automation conference. First time in the state.
Anaheim is pretty and the weather is nice.
Of the 4 people I’ve spoken to who asked where I was from all 4 were excited to learn I’m from Texas, all 4 told me how glad they were that Trump won and they had lots of questions about where I thought the best place to live in Texas is.

"We acknowledge this land was stolen but we're here anyway to make a bunch of money off it."
Doesn't seem very empathic
@ChrisMayLA6 I think Trump will be a classic one-two for success!
But given the enormous potential of the immigrants he wants to expel, maybe the UK could set up an immigration program?
Based on the immigrants who left due to brexit, maybe the UK can now team up with Trump and take over a big part of the immigrants from the US?
The one advantage the right has is that we’ve become well aware that Trump is not our true savior and we’ve spent much of the last 8 years preparing for a post-political landscape where we couldn’t expect to vote our way our of disenfranchisement. The left has been critical of Biden and Kamala but many of them expected Trump to lose and are unprepared for America’s second foray into MAGA.
Per-community moderation is not ideal. It creates much duplicate work, and lends itself to moderation via cutting off entire nodes that are less restrictive than your community. It also enforces one-size-fits-all within communities. I appreciate BS' subscription-based moderation approach, and I wish something like that was available per-server and per-user. I want to be able to subscribe to a trusted group identifying csam and hard-reject that at the server level, then apply server-level defaults via feeds that users can disable per-feed if desired, and let users select additional feeds if desired. While this may sound "per-community", the difference is that the subscription approach means the work of actually doing the moderation only has to happen once, amd then each community can choose to take advantage of it (or not). For BS, where they go wrong is having an overarching moderation subscription that no one is allowed to opt out of that will always be subject to abuse and manipulation.
Would be nice if you could say "only keep 2 weeks of content"
Trust in doctors was an extremely recent historical fluke. Through most of history they did more harm than good and people had a general understanding of this.
You don't have to choose between all or nothing. The best balance is to treat each instance as a mini community. It isn't about free speech, it's about freedom of association. Each instance should focus on curating a culture, but activity pub connects all the instances allowing the freedom of ideas.
The biggest limitation right now is hosting.
"Because #bluesky is also a digital space that we've created, you can't opt out of our moderation service in our client."
This is where their power lies, what proves they won't ever be decentralized but also what makes them welcoming to X refugees. It's probably also what made Jack Dorsey leave for #nostr. Relays without any moderation.
Moderation is hard and imo it's often too restrictive here. But it's totally necessary. The right balance is what supports the best conversations. #SocialWeb
A salient point by the Pool boy.
"I'm guna start hiring investigators to investigate journalists for whacky shit just so we can say they were investigated for it
'John Doe, who was investigated for rape, wrote an article today...""
@itnewsbot Hee, hee, he. The libtads are snitching on each other. I am glad they are moving their hate from X to skyblue.
