Oh.

Ohhhhhh..

Can't believe I didn't realize it was about ensuring favorable coverage rather than spamming the public.

Good.

Taxing citizens to pay for pro sports is insane as a concept

Huh?

"We acknowledge this land was stolen but we're here anyway to make a bunch of money off it."

Doesn't seem very empathic

Hosting requirements increase infinitely over time.

Would be nice if you could say "only keep 2 weeks of content"

The ideal scenario is close to the fediverse, but I think both sides get it a little wrong.

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.

I'm going to be shocked if they give up their cultural push that easily

We're seeing culture shift in real time.

If Bluesky is just the comfy hug box for these people that X used to be, the people who matter will be on X if it is just a choice between the two.

If only there were some other third option with a decentralized protocol..

I don't understand what problem bluesky solves.

Seems like more of the same, with just a different choice of who will decide what is censored.

Also because they don't like being exposed to alternate viewpoints.

This is kind of amazing

Seems more like certain protests are allowed/encouraged and others are crushed.

Just depends on who gains power from the protest.

Pretty sure politics have been like this since the dawn of time.

Practically speaking the average person doesn't pay attention, so you have to put in the work now for 2026.

Uh oh.

Time to update the meme?

A sane country would be investigating the Epstein list.

A serious country would be investigating why Epstein's island existed.

Oh look, it's learning

Has Trump picked a new head for the agency?

Ah sweet, can't wait for the militarization of AI!
