We need a very long, compound German word for the feeling here on the #Fedi of missing a particular account from previous-decade social media enclosures.
You wish they moved over, and miss them dearly, but deep inside you know it's not going to happen.
I'm very happy to see that we have the @CALandscapeBot bot here! I really like seeing these images.
In 2020 during big fires, a camera burned. The bot glitched out and reposted this shot, the last image before the camera went dead, over & over for several months before getting put back online. #FireBot
thanks to a fantastic tip from an old poet friend, I bring you balloon mail as the latest wireless addition to the #othernetworks catalog! maps and lists of Balloon mail from Paris during the Franco-Prussian war (1870-71) taken from an incredible book called the American Air Mail Catalogue, 1966. "In all, 55 balloons, with mail, were released, carrying over 12 tons of mail (about 2,500,000 letters), 238 passengers, 361 pigeons and 5 dogs."
@childovrarn I remember Steinski from back in the day. The only parallel I could establish back in the 90's was with Negativland. But it still took another decade until this kind of work became more mainstream.
What if we had a #DefederationMonth. All instances fully and completely defederate from each other. Perfect isolation for perfect communities. Then, a month later, if someone feels they need to deal with other servers, they can reach out and start negotiating.
@rozina Then that would be a "Computational Art and Culture Month" here on lurk. I think it's quite viable. Or maybe a day of the week. Say, #OnTopicMonday, when lurkers post and discuss nothing but but the server's official topics. That would take some enforcement (no kittens, no memes, no jokes, no shitposting, no boosting unrelated stuff from other instances), but it's also viable. And we won't need to defederate from other servers (but would probably scare some people).
stunning friday fire music at the stone in #nyc, night 3 of zoh amba's residency, with patrick shiroshi (alto), wendy eisenberg (guitar), chris corsano (drums). starting at full shattering skronk & passing through ambient textures, high frequency sound fields, martian rain, even some semi ballady places. wondrous to hear eisenberg's extended percussive moves extend/frame/counter corsano's micro flurries then suddenly switch to zonked ethereal lines like a weirdo frisell. #jazz#improv
