The year is 2025, there is now one social network for every twelve people in the world, each dedicated to discussing the other social networks that are available
@glitchontwitch I have a feeling Threads users aren't generally up to date on the state of federated software. From the looks of things the network effects of being able to bring your instagram follow graph with you outweighs any feature needs.

it's genuinely wild how we heard nothing but long winded platitudes on how innovative silicon valley was for like 20 straight years and it's all culminated in a bunch of the dullest, most petulant billionaires imaginable all just copying each other's version of a very basic chat app
Damn I love tiny little spiders. I found one running around my bathroom and it's unreal just how little it's feet are.
Talking a quarter the size of my finger nail. So cute I can't even.
@decentral1se kinda like hyperbeedeebee but with prolly trees and go :P https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer/tree/initial
@orsinium Nice, thanks for the info. I'll add it to my TODO list. Thankfully in this case I just forgot to close a channel in a very stupid way. :P
A programmer is just a machine that turns #Golang code into deadlocks. :P
@thisismissem @renchap it's similar to how desktop gui apps can have separate "main threads" with all their logic and renderer threads that talk to the main thread to get data in and out.
More #JavaScript folks should consider using the SharedWorker API in their app. Especially if you have particularly heavy initializing code.
E.g. instead of Element loading everything from scratch each time you open it in a tab, it could have the bulk of the resources shared across tabs in a worker and have speedier inits that don't block the render thread.

When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”
I disagree completely.
When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.
Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.

Does anybody on here know of an instance dedicated to Black queer folks? I'm not necessarily planning on moving but I am curious since apart from blacktwitter.io and wibblur I haven't even seen much that's even focused on Black communities. And if there isn't one/aren't many... Is that something people would be interested in? 👀 Edit: well, I went ahead and spent most of the past day making one. https://blackqueer.life is the name. Check it out!
@AndreShouldBeWriting @cblgh Yeah the qntm books might be up your alley then.
@cblgh @AndreShouldBeWriting OMG yes strong +1 for the "There is No Anti-Memetics Division". It's very much written like a bunch of short stories that tie into a larger one. Also Ra by qntm is v good. Also also Fine Structure was my first read by that author and I loved it. https://qntm.gumroad.com/l/ELFop
Also +1 to the Hainish Cycle stuff!
@AndreShouldBeWriting Have you read much of the SCP Wiki? I found that following some of the hubs for the "groups of interest" and following links from different stories to different SCPs has been fun. There's vague allusions to other groups doings and to the SCP entries themselves.

any word on if Facebook-Twitter is gonna bring back the 'poke' feature? it's pretty clear that social media went off the rails the moment we quietly lost that.

some have already clocked where i was going with this -- how can an open society be closed to something?
Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance applies perfectly here. being open to systems that oppose openness is a threat to openness itself.
the idea that being open means we must allow everything, indiscriminately, without analysis or reflection, is immature and politically ignorant. it only serves entrenched powers, which is maybe why its such a popular and widely parroted position.

in conversations ive had around "open" source and "open" protocols im recognizing a recurring sentiment that does not sit well with me: the idea that "openness" requires that we tolerate capitalist corporations, that if we don't we are no longer "open".
i disagree categorically with this definition of "open"
