The good news is, the AI will probably always be too buggy to reach Skynet level.

The bad news is, these fuckers are going to try and make Skynet.

this is where I’m coming from with for changing culture, we need to rescue the idea of change/innovation/evolution from capitalism and its bros and girl bosses. We need a working vision & definition of technology that centers long term societies oriented around life itself, not just short term profits for a few. this is def a note to self for my upcoming book lol https://fediscience.org/@steve/112486844345257840

One thing Mastodon (or a fork) could do to win some users over from Bluesky, is support taking your account private. It's wild that X and Threads are the only big post-Twitter microblogging platforms that allow this.

@boby_biq Bluesky actually has that for replies, but I think a lot of people don't know that. And it should for quotes. I'm optimistic that when Mastodon rolls out quote support, it will include that, but they should extend this to replies as well.

@jdp23 @kissane Yeah, seems like the easiest path would be to just not use standard ActivityPub at all for private profiles, only communicate with instances that support the feature. There could definitely be rogue instances though - I wonder if some kind of encryption could work? And/or a certification system for trustworthy instance operators.

@jdp23 It's not on Bluesky's 2024 roadmap, so there's a chance, but given the pace of mainline Mastodon development, that seems likely. (Obviously not a fair competition because of funding disparity, but it is what it is.)

@jdp23 @kissane That's what I mean by the other stuff though - I think E2EE + some kind of certification system probably cross a reasonable threshold of safety, given that nothing is safe from, say, screenshots, regardless.

Is this tree a goner? 🥺

@Kevin Lots of leaves! Did a quick google and saw it suggested that mushrooms indicate root rot - they don't kill the tree but suggest that it may be terminally ill.

Do you (or anyone following the hashtag) happen to know if has an office that will come out and diagnose a tree like this?

I think if Mastodon is gonna grow significantly, and win back potential converts who rejected it before, it's gonna need a rebrand.

We understand "clients" as a concept but what would a browser for the social web look like? Something that would let you dip into a convo on Mastodon, or Bluesky, or whatever, and help you track the throughlines

Short term goal: get invited to the group chat of people in movement comms who are plotting to dislodge X.

Or start that chat, if no one has.
