I kind of like the fact that instead of just dying it degrades to text-only. feels like someone turned off the lights

At first the bluesky was designed as a.. perfect website..
the feeds didn't glitch out.. every post was funny & high effort.. there was no inscrutable drama or 'main character's

it was a disaster.

which is why the bluesky was redesigned to this.. 2012 twitter.. the peak of your civilization

simple from here: twitter rebrands to x, three years elapse, the trademark is deemed abandoned, bluesky rebrands to twitter

I saw all three of them today (one picked up my furniture one works at the self-storage place and one at the burger bar I met him at) I am absolutely dadmaxxing

a month ago I was bemoaning having no good older male role models who I could talk to about life and relationships and stuff but somehow I've managed to acquire three different 60-something father figures in seattle

orthodoxy: church is fun and religious experience should be ecstatic and we put pretty pictures everywhere and this is exactly what it was like 1000 years ago

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 19

am I filter bubbled I'm just seeing who I follow and it's wall to wall this shit

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 19

I want people to talk about research papers and argue about politics and mercilessly harass main characters in a more ecumenical way than current harassment is done but idk it's just not the venue for that yet

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 19

the actual thing we have to get over (and I realize I am contributing to this) is the only two ways people use bluesky so far is a) talking about bluesky, or b) saying things that depend on no external context whatsoever like "just had lunch"-posting or unfunny 2010 weird twitter style jokes

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 19

privilege stack includes how early you were to bluesky

i love all of you very much but there's a number of people here who've gotten a pretty big head from Being Here First and it's kind of an active detriment to the community & its perception. i get having more power feels fucking *awesome* but some of yall REALLY gotta settle the hell down

it's just that too much of the seed population was miserable leftists. hopefully they'll leave when federation comes or get diluted by new joiners or start going to war with each other soon

speedrunning the history of twitter, a few months ago it was 2010 "just had lunch" normieposting now it's 2015 "my death threats are woke praxis" silliness. we should be caught up to the present day by eoy

here is a man* who would not take it** anymore***

* woman
** international move logistics
*** will continue to take it

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 17

same as other right-wing phrases turned into memes like "this is what they took from us" and "we have to go back." it's making fun of the original usage!!

alice maz @maz.bsky.social · Jul 17

incidentally I feel obligated to point out that "which way western man" is the exact opposite of a dogwhistle because the point is to apply it to trivial or comical referents in a way that mocks the original sentiment

when people are sending death threats in an attempt to influence your policies and roadmap, that's pmf

after however many years of being avowedly non-ideological, I'm looking forward to being accused of carrying water for some particular ideology and being able to reply "actually I'm a confucian" and link to substack posts explaining exactly the kind of confucian I am
