Something I think would be a cool idea is to add standard.site integration via a 'documents' tab on people's profiles. I think that would be a really good way to demonstrate AT's distributed nature to people

Imo this should take the form of typing in which tags you would want in a feed rather than a prompt. I think encouraging a more tag-based culture again would actually be a more elegant solution than this "ask the algorithm" thing

you can use something like witchsky.app if you prefer square icons

my pronouns are bluesky/pds

Lol I've often been thinking that they should do something like this for when someone adds over 4 posts to a thread

I mean you could just use a notes app if you wanna write down something longer

More people need to realize how much we had it figured out 20 years ago. Spotify was literally never any kind of a net-good for music

Considering their reputation among virtually every small-to-mid tier musician on the planet ("Spotify is worse than piracy"), they have absolutely no right to do the whole "piracy is theft" thing

I once saw a post describing the culture of the Fediverse as "a bastard hybrid of Reddit and Tumblr" and like, yeah that sounds pretty accurate

disabling engagement metrics when? (seriously I feel like people have gotten way too used to that shit if hardly anyone is asking for it)

Yeah I mean I've never really been a fan of the idea of using email for blogs, and I would much rather see more people use dedicated blog aggregators, but if we want walled garden bullshit to finally start to die than we're gonna have to be pragmatic

I even said that I don't entirely disagree that those posts might've gone a bit too far. Like I get being a bit offended but I don't think it was warrented to be weird about them like that

Lol they blocked me too and I'm a complete rando who doesn't even outright hate them. They really do kinda have issues

Like those posts were genuinely kinda pushing it, but it's not enough to warrant this kinda behavior imo

They should've just not included the posts at all imo, but going out of their way to edit the blog post with archives makes it genuinely kinda creepy

The people running those massive accounts seem to not understand that more people are just getting pretty sick of numbers-go-up engagement-maximization stuff
