Good morning!
Today is the last day of reasonably sane government in the US, for the time-being.
And tomorrow we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, a great American hero, patriot.

Before declaring democracy over, as our major news orgs and tech companies seem to have, remember there are still 50 states, most of whom still seem to accept that votes must be counted, and the winner is who gets most votes, not the one who sends in a mob to trash the state Capitol.

tiktok going off the air is a big deal, don't you think?
whatever caused it, let's start planning how we're going to stay organized if the social web starts having lots of new rules.
what's a good methodology?
is there one?
i've never prepared for something like this before.

Imagine a client app that connected to mastodon.social and Bluesky.
You could read threads that include posts from both systems.
Voila, if a billionaire buys Bluesky, switch to masto.
Wouldn’t cost say $30 million and could be done pretty quickly. 😁

i see people betting on the idea of federation in bluesky.
at the same time, we should bet on simplifying mastodon at scale.
approach the problem from both directions.
we may need and not have federation in bluesky at some point.
it couldn't hurt to have a better lifeboat.

This is one of the dialogs you encounter when getting started with Bluesky. It's easy to see how new users might be led believe that Bluesky is federated, as Mastodon is. I'm a developer and I was confused by what it was saying.

a little fix that would make social web a lot more useful and less hate-filled and abusive...
make replies visible only to the person being replied to.
if they feel the reply should be public, they can RT it.

So how convincing, now, is Zuck's "We ❤️ Fediverse" appeal in 2023?
Is it now clear that it was nothing but a way to let you overlook your suspicion of the company based on much past experience?
We users collectively use the Blanche Dubois method of choosing platform vendors. We depend on the kindness of strangers.

Isn't it funny how few of the remembrances of President Carter don't include his voice.

Has anyone come up with a variant of JSON that allows comments? I've started using names like "comment1" etc to shoehorn comments in. A complete hack, impossible to maintain over time. The idea of not being able to put notes in your config.json files is absolutely ridiculous.

If you think woke is the problem, try reading the US Constitution and amendments. Really read them. Pretend you didn't know it was the Constitution. One woke idea after another. Basically if you don't believe in woke, you're in the wrong freaking country.

I was kind of interested in the NBA Cup, while the Knicks were in it, and they were still regular season games. But when they advanced to the Las Vegas level, it started to feel like an exhibition game, and by the end of the first quarter of the final I had to turn it off because I was so embarrassed for the Bucks and Thunder players who I had been fans of. Feels like the all-star game and the players who bought in, seem as foolish as last year's Lakers.
