Yeah that would make sense.

One is the title of the book, the other is the words he wrote on the shell casing.

Let’s not limit ourselves here. The Koch Bros are killing lots of people too.

Bluesky has far more robust tools for blocking bad actors. You can subscribe to auto updating block lists which take these people off your feed.

The difference being that Bluesky has very robust block lists which you can subscribe to to remove these accounts for you.

Hacker news is empty for me…?

Europe isn’t nearly so financially stretched as Russia, and its economy is an order of magnitude bigger.

Thanks, Champ!

These things aren’t accurate enough to hit much so as long as he puts conventional warheads on it like he did for Dnipro, it won’t do much.

I, for one, am waiting on ARM to upgrade my Surface Go.

I tend to use Twitter if I’m talking about the pre-Musk infused flavor and Xitter for the Musky turd flavor. Since we must compare features to the now-existing platform, I used the new naming convention ;-).

I use both. I’ve been on Mastodon for the better part of a year and only actively tried Bluesky the last couple weeks. My Bluesky feed is thriving, whereas Mastodon not so much. IMO this is due to Mastodon is missing the major quality of life features of Bluesky.

• Add lists
• Subscribable block lists
• Custom subscribable topic feeds
• Optional recommendation engine

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. Mastodon is a lot more work.

Yes, its federation is more or less bullshit, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.

Looking and doing are two different things, but I’m sure this will increase too. I left under Bush after the 2000 financial crisis and have no regrets.

It’s more like a better Twitter

Mastodon and Xitter are missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

• Good user verification
• Add lists
• Block lists
• Subscribable topic feeds
• Configurable algorithms

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.

It just gives you a checkmark, nothing else AFAIK.

You put a snippet of code on your website.

This is the real issue. The same volume is totally different on different devices. If they want to implement this feature correctly they need to measure the actual output of the headphones.

Bluesky has some very powerful features here like auto updating block lists which you can subscribe to and which will automatically remove trolls for you. And they are policing hate speech and harassment.

I wish it were otherwise, but that’s just the way it is.

Except the walk is happening. Bluesky feels way more thriving to me than Xitter already.
