ngl after seeing what the actual userbase is like, i think it’s basically a worthless endeavor to continue being invested in bsky. i have very little hope left for this project’s success. even if they are successful on their own terms, i think that would be the worst possible outcome.

they have no backbone and are not nearly opinionated enough to do anything besides endlessly appease their users. i used to roll my eyes when people would describe this place as a twitter clone, because it has the potential to be so much more. i was wrong.

i desperately want atproto to work. if it does, it will be from an independent community of intelligent people fighting tooth and nail to use it in ways antithetical to bluesky.

my eyes are wobbly and i should probably be more concerned about that

some of my slightly older coworkers interact with me like a camp counselor trying to be cool

exhausted and caffeinated is not a fun combo

FUCK BITCH!

this wasn’t a joke btw, i really did get excommunicated

beat ya to it

oh yea and it’s certainly too late for this but to clarify, that post was from months ago about a completely unrelated subject. i included it to show my position had not changed, and that i don’t exempt myself from even the most extreme application of this principle, under certain conditions.

i am obviously against the misguided attacks they are experiencing, because they are misinformed. i said as much. i’m just not abstractly against making them aware. i am explicitly not justifying any abuse. i hope you and hailey are doing okay

shared

i have a take but i will be excommunicated if i share it

o no kasey please don’t violate my privacy by using my phone while i’m asleep that would cross a boundary and be very uncomfortable for me and everyone else involved watching you weirdly speak to yourself awaa

thank god the real BlueSky users are here to keep this place safe

welcome to the resistance

“what could possibly get me killed?” said the slug, amongst a sea of corpses

"oh and one last thing - who can i talk to about making the docs more clear about the difference between getRecord and listRecords?"

headcannon: some poor guy that got hired a week ago was forced to come in on a sunday, got tired of manual review, and wrote a for loop. now he's frantically trying to clean it up before aaron clocks in on monday

uhhh... shit my bad - i mean your bad. this is your last warning or something,, (i think i'm allowed to say that right?)... anyway you're unbanned. if you could do me a favor and not tell anyone that'd be great thanks

you should apply to trust & safety, i heard they're looking for up-and-comers with a mind for heuristics
