  • I say we shouldn’t take any platforms “seriously.”

    This platform is small and open and hosted by volunteer individuals. That is what makes it nice for most of us, but it also means there will always be a variety in who you interact with and it will never be a consistent homogenous branded product.

    The huge corporate platforms kind of flip that - you get a massive user base and a very intentionally designed user experience, but everything else about it is a nightmare.



  • Given the quality of this timeline I expect something superficially exciting will happen, and then President Vance will call for a time of unification and healing, and of respect for the separation of powers. After ending the war he disbands ICE and starts rolling back some of the most bigoted trump shit while keeping his “race: political” wife front and center. He does all that opportunistic shit to build his wholesome public image, and it works with many people who barely pay attention or just want things to look normal.

    And then in the background the transfer of wealth continues to accelerate in the wrong direction while the surveillance state grows unchecked and the Supreme Court helps it along as planned.








  • I have been existing in a superposition of both of these states for a few years and really like it.

    During the day I’m a senior engineer on embedded c/c++ stuff. During free time at home I dig in the dirt and build shit and do my “farm chores” like tending to my koi pond. Feels good man.

    I think most people would agree that fresh air, exercise, hobbies, and personal goals are good for your body and mind. It’s still wild when I notice it actually working.
