- Comment on My attempt at explaining the fediverse in a way that is more fun and engaging 2 weeks ago:
Funny personalities don’t make people laugh, and therefore aren’t really funny. They’re more patronizing and infantalizing.
Should I explain that not all planets live in the same Federation? I’m thinking no.
I think you’ve already gone astray from really explaining the (relatively simple) relationship between federated instances. It’s already confusing because you’re trying to make it fun.
I say, give your app whatever functionality you think is best, and the aesthetic/style/personality you think is best, but don’t worry about making the fediverse “fun.” Fun descriptions actually distract from the information.

iCe ShiT broKeN is actually advertising for them. Pretending that their diseased sugar is valuable.

Tens of thousands of radioactive fuel fragments escaped from the Dounreay plant between 1963 and 1984, polluting local beaches, the coastline and the seabed. Fishing has been banned within a two-kilometre radius of the plant since 1997.
Since 2008, over 2,300 radioactive particles have been recovered from the seabed, with 351 removed by a remotely operated underwater vehicle this summer.
The most radioactive of the particles are regarded by experts as potentially lethal if ingested. Similar in size to grains of sand, they contain caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, but they can also incorporate traces of plutonium-239, which has a half-life of over 24,000 years…
The plant’s operator at the time, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was fined £140,000.
Oh that’ll teach em.
I still think we should replace much of our fossil-fuel energy with nuclear, but let’s never call it “green.” Energy comes at an extremely high cost. This kind of thing makes it hard to advocate for nuclear (although I think we have safer methods now).

I like this visual. It’s like a force field.

That’s really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it’s real?
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 2 months ago:
Best answer yet IMO. The cohesive experience is essential to the branding, and low threshold for entry.

Imagine if there were two twitters, and you only sign up for one but you can read and comment on posts for both.
Now imagine if anybody can install their own Twitter, and anybody else can sign up on either one, and they can all talk to each other like that.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 2 months ago:
Star power. High production values. Less complex (appears to be more centralized, immediately easy to conceptualize as “twitter but not right wing”)

That’s partly why I’m here. I don’t want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

No they’re not, guy. I aggressively dismiss any legal vomit that claims they are.

I don’t care what Altman said. Microsoft isn’t a “bro” and cannot take part in a “bromance.” Same with OpenAI. These are megacorporations using buzzwords. No need to mutilate ourselves into idiotic commercials for them.
Doctor Doctor!
