Maybe each account should have a chatroom available to them and to their followers? Or a public list of their followers' posts? #bonfire_feedback

I can't believe I'm the asshole who's pressed against infinite scrolling, but yeah, it's definitely a lot safer for some people so I don't regret it
Sorry for the way I put it though, I was somehow in a rush, i.e. I could never know at this moment how much time I had left on social media, and this felt important to me. But the comparison also wasn't as innocuous as it seemed, in a way that I don't fully understand yet.

Hello world! This is a test.
Nice to see you here!
Did you notice that the words count didn't work? It's stuck at 0/2000 words for me… #bonfire_feedback
Giddens on money "circulation"
"The disembeddedness provided for in modern money economies is vastly greater than was the case in any of the pre-modern civilisations in which money existed. Even in the most developed of monetary systems in the pre-modern era, such as that of the Roman Empire, no advance was...

Everything we value as "humane" – trust, empathy, respect, solidarity – is just the set of the optimal conditions for human communication and coordination. CW politics ↓
(Speaking as someone who'd like to stop being abused, yeah, these conditions aren't met because the relationship between the ultra-rich and the 99% is defined by abuse – I call that "class abuse". You aren't a lesser person if it's often difficult for you to meet these conditions. It's just that I believe most people want to "be" that kind of person – at least towards who they consider as part of their social camp, and it may exclude people like me, and this is a problem, but it's also a consequence of the ultra-rich attacking our education, because they never wanted an educated workforce.)
#bonfire_feedback Decentralized moderation? 😁 The possibility to have your instance moderated by third-party volunteers, or people you pay. Or the possibility to make your account/instance follow another instance's blocklist (for example I like social.coop's so I'd like to make my Bonfire instance follow theirs)
Thank you so much for reading this and paying attention!
Woops, didn't mean to post an emoji

Like. I'm not saying they're fundamentally an idiot, they just don't seem to have any technological expertise, and to be looking for attention over here. Most of the problems they find with software seem to be their personal struggles as well as their own attempts at providing a nuanced opinion while missing why it's bad and why it can be useful. So this is a dated opinion because I don't see them in my timeline anymore, I don't see many people trying to assert their opinions on me as well, but becoming smarter isn't hard. Read books. Watch videos. Read comic books, they're super important, comic books writers are smart in ways the people smudging over them for having images obviously can't understand. Use Emacs. I'm sorry if this comes out as rude, but sustained stupidity results from mental health disorders, oppression, or bad ways to consume information. There are known solutions to that.
And I'm saying this as a sociology student because becoming smarter is a large part of a researcher's job, it isn't meant as an insult. However, they don't feel serious to me.
Speaking as an idiot myself, I don't understand why ActivityPub developers take Humane Tech seriously.

People's opinions on social media aren't formed by understanding critically the media they consume but by a message being repeated by different people. It reminds me of Huxley's hypnopedic messages are delivered to children as a form of State propaganda, they can't be used to teach them knowledge, but impulses of hedonism and sexual desire, on one hand, and of disgust towards lower classes, on the other; such messages are delivered to French people on television in the purest form while watching the television with their families, and it also reminds me of optimization for engagement, which feels like having a dinner with your family, for some part because it works by forgetting that its experience is a sequence of short, but repeated rewards.
My feelings that this sort of propaganda seems to work better if it's associated with food or your family, or with design principles that are meant to take people's time without their consent, or if you consume it before going to sleep; that our archaic brains seem most sensitive to it; and that it's converted into habits and values while we're sleeping, might not be a coincidence.
Oh wow, that's super interesting! I'm going to look it up!
Thank you!
@Oceane Sean Carrol says time is just events ordered by entropy. the big bang was in the past because the universe had lower entropy than today, tomorrow is tomorrow because it will have more entropy than today.

"Imaginary time is indistinguishable from directions in space. If one can go north, one can turn around and head south; equally, if one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn around and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. On the other hand, when one looks at “real” time, there’s a very big difference between the forward and backward directions, as we all know. Where does this difference between the past and the future come from? Why do we remember the past but not the future?"

@mayel The main issue I have with this post is that the image descriptions are hard to read, I get a greyish bubble with no text inside while hovering my mouse on the "alt" bubble, and when I try to show the full image description I get dark text on a slightly lighter bubble.
@mayel As far as I'm concerned, it says "image description".
@Oceane testing an image with description... what error did you get?
