Developing Star Gambit (stargamb.it) and soon to be building on atproto.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust

Listening to the Silksong OST, damn @christopherlarkin.bsky.social is good. Like Hollow Knight before it, I am head over heels for Silksong's environments/vibes and the soundtrack is a HUGE part of that.

Shoutout @dame.is, really wholesome to give some feedback and see improvements almost immediately. You set a high bar for the rest of us devs!
with all of the new visitors to anisota over the past 24 hours, i decided to invest some time today in making the tutorial better — i've added additional explainers to the tutorial and added a nice glowing highlight to bring attention to the relevant buttons/content the user should look at

Loving @stechlab-labels.bsky.social. The 'posted more than 50 times yesterday' label is remarkably well correlated with content I want off my feed. Anyone know of a good way to filter that with exceptions for news organizations and stuff?
