       @atomicpoet This really bugged me. I keep bouncing back and forth between admiring Jack for seemingly trying to do the right things and hating his guts for fucking up with twitter to the point where it ended up in the hands of its current owner. But the point at which a long post about open protocols for social media does not mention ActivityPub at all, I guess is where he’s officially admitting that his main goal is pushing whatever he’s fantasizing will come out of Bluesky and willing to play dumb about the real situation, rather than actually looking for good solutions to fix problems. A critique of AP that says it’s not a good idea and Bluesky is better, would be a perfectly valid thing to do from his side, but ignoring the elephant in the room (the one behind the Mastodon 😄) is just a plain bad faith representation of the state of things.

       @rwzh @atomicpoet I didn’t read it as that exactly. I think it’s more close to what Matthew Prince’s thoughts on The Daily Stormer, 8ch, kiwifarms, etc. It’s right to do it, but it’s scary as fuck that technically a single company has the power to unilaterally do that. And as scary as it sounds to people outside of it, I’m guessing for people on the inside that understand the power they have at their disposal it’s probably much more scarier.

       @atomicpoet @m1ss4ndry @rwzh twitter does technically operate as a publisher, but also has aggressively marketed itself as a platform. The very idea of being a “public square” implies being a platform. The public square is not a publisher, it’s the place where everyone (including the most terrible people that merely seek to fuck up society beyond repair) can go and talk. On the square however people are allowed to chose to not listen to those they don’t want to or those they deem to have destructive opinions. They have always wanted to be both a platform and a publisher depending on context and what suits them best.

       I feel like this is a bit too optimistic. Then again, it might be just that the internet massively amplifies the “scary” opinions.I do think it’s a worthwhile thinking about how these things keep happening. How do we end up falling for the same ruses by supposedly “brilliant” (except Rogan I guess, who never insisted on being exceptionally intelligent) who consistently end up being caricatures of comic book villains?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd61WJUX9R0&t=344s

       @batkaren well duuuh… escaping an exploding rocket is intended to be available only for SpaceX Blue subscribers and that’s not implemented yet.
