For this week's email newsletter I wrote a reflection on @npub1e7m…yu27 speech at the ATmosphere Conference. Jay wants to show that a different world/internet is possible. But is a positive vision of the internet enough?

its also frustrating that under both Harris and Trump, there will be even more pressure on Meta to censor via algorithmic suppression, just for very different reasons.
like, this is not going to get any better, literally the only option is to jump ship. but ah well

yo @npub1kkq…el49 would you mind giving an update on new accounts joined?
since daily new follows is now fairly consistently at +75% since uk wave began, im starting to get a feeling that this also captures a renewed use of starterpacks as followfriday tools for existing users

there are over 500 youtube videos that have more than 1 billion views
only 6 of those videos are less then 4 years old
i got curious about the impact of tiktok on music videos, in this seems pretty clear lol

GenAI is now at the point where the strategy is to create fakes, pretend the other side created the fake, and then accuse the other side of creating fakes
I dont think disinformation on X matters much at this point, but it certainly doesnt bode well for the state of GenAI

"federation happens in the client".
Yes, the technical interoperability happens on a server level, but the actual federation that people experience actually happens in the client, and this case a good example as to why that is

gods even more good labels, i really need a larger maximum than 8
i love labelers lol

2024-06-15 15:41:44

good thread on current bsky thinking about mod tools and ozone

2024-06-14 10:49:15

we really need the option to subscribe to more than 8 labelers

2024-06-14 09:36:14

Id imagine something like multiple competing Nebula-style platforms where creators can wall off some videos, and users subscribe to entire groups of creators, not individuals. With probably only marginal interoperability

2024-06-13 10:41:58

mastodon is doing mastodon things again, but for people interested in social networks more broadly this is an interesting example of how having only a reverse-chronological feed can significantly hinder the spread of information

2024-06-13 09:34:54

happy for bluesky for the new inflow of users, but extremely funny that it took an actually fairly sensible feature change at X, and even more so considering that likes are also private on bluesky

2024-06-12 10:49:33

what an incredible journalistic failure by theverge by framing the headline in such a way that everyone seems to think that like count goes away. which it doesnt, this only affects the 'like' tab on your profile
also important to note that bluesky, mastodon and threads also hide this

2024-06-12 09:39:33

yo can someone check out the #BRP tag stream, and tell me what is going on there? I cannot make any sense of it at all, but seems like a massive community migration that I havent seen anyone talk about yet, and I have no idea whats going on?

2024-06-11 13:43:36

my dad just send me this photo of a fledgling blackbird who's still learning. they tried to fly to the roof of the house but didnt make it, hit the wall and crashed back down into a bush
