Always happy to chat about and what's coming next.

@J12t @wearenew_public same here. That said, the problem with Nextdoor is partly about the platform but mostly about the neighbors 😅

@wearenew_public Forgot the link! https://newpublic.substack.com/p/your-towns-online-group-matters-more

@J12t @wearenew_public Given that we're in a world where FB and NextDoor and other things exist, it's hard for me to imagine a new thing displacing them, no matter how good the software and the culture it embodies.

But maybe it could wrap them, and thus provide something better - for those who want it right away - while offering a smooth upgrade path for people in the legacy services?

@J12t - with added AI that actively feeds the trolls hilarious responses.

@J12t you mean twitter

@J12t

sounds right to me. trust the other server not to let their users cause problems for the users on my server. opt out not in cause we assume good faith. more like the articles of confederation than the constitution. no greater authority that we all have a say in.

@J12t

"[...] This implies that Texas and California trust each other. Doubtful."

there are different levels of trust. It all depends on your point of view. Within the US, sure you could say there is a low level of trust between both states. But if you compare this level of trust to some other foreign country, now somehow the trust level seems very high in comparison.

it's about "mostly" trusting each other. In that sense I think the definition is adequate.

@J12t one thought: Genuinely free speech requires the option to be private. If you're being surveilled, your speech isn't really free. Thus, I think a social web needs better privacy options than what we have now, such as e2ee posting to a limited set of people, e.g. to one's friends.

@J12t social implies shared activities and engagement but also artifacts to discover later (to remind us our past interactions and to stay passively aware of others in our various overlapping and intersecting circles - so we might re-engage with them in the future.

So how this might look:

- supporting adhoc and regularly scheduled shared experiences (think monsterdon or bikenite but more often yet also not always “in public”

- encourage shared and individual cocreation (wikis as one example

@J12t @feditest I’m an odd case, but I received my degree in 2014, so I guess that counts? But my answer is more like, it’s fine, I’ve used makefiles before, I’d have to look things up a lot if I had to make changes but it wouldn’t be any kind of problem, but it’s also not something I would choose for anything new

@selzero isaac newton demonstrating that going outside is gay

@selzero Thus confirming that during the sixties of every century, conservative values come under demonic attack!!!!!!

@selzero Remember, God HATES gay rainbows, which is why he made the sun WHITE!!!!

@J12t paging @molly0xfff ✨

@J12t I don’t think many real people are on that platform anymore. I sometimes post but hardly ever scroll because everyone real left after the release of threads.

@J12t Yes, channels have content rules called norms, and are moderated by their owners, and moderators if the channel has them. There’s a bot channel moderator called automod which applies filters based on keywords, and curates accounts in Main. Take a look at /farcastHER for examples. How much moderation happens idk
