I’m pretty sure due to apparently messing up my keys all my posts on damus never really showed up for people In fact I just tried posting one (as a reply, not even a profile post) and it’s not there (This post is via primal, no idea if it’ll show)
Ai may well turn out to be something However Facebook (zuck apparently already loves Chinese censorship) and Google (Gemini is politically correct as fuck) is probably not a way forward (I enjoy Claude)
You know what I don’t get on nostr? Every time I refresh “blah has commented on a photo” There’s something to be said for defaults that make sense and not having a ceo that doesn’t believe in the concept of privacy
I don’t know what they did but they seem to have killed the spambots on here
I feel like all of facebook is people desperately trying to counteract the ceo Like zuck started off with “if you need information on anyone just ask, they trust me, dumb fucks” and it’s a bunch of otherwise smart people trying to bail him out
Is it ok to dislike both Google AND Facebook Not even because they’re “social media” (though apparently Google+ kept crap out of your feed) but because they both seem committed to censoring different things I wish I could say Google was lesser of two evils but they’re just involved in so much shit
Dreamwidth is interesting It’s really fun how some companies are now reinventing (or coming up with a second version of ideas we liked the first time), using better tools (Context: it’s a blogging platform, like livejournal was)
Facebook grew by being a combination of infinitely adaptable and also essentially practices of data hostage Ie they copy everyone else, all the data flows one way They even outright subverted people’s email addresses Zuckerberg is an awful person If they were forced to compete fairly then the market would decide It doesn’t hurt that in 2006 the competition was fucking MySpace with its tenuous network effects (and maybe Rupert Murdock) and lack of consistency and the internet was also really taking off
