Bugonia reviews on katalog - what did everyone else think? (also this review shows a lot of cool katalog features! tagging people you watched it with, spoiler text, tagging other films in your review!)

one new signup per day on katalog at this rate! it doesn't sound like much, but users that give it a go seem to stick around, an astronomical conversion rate that's because this is a comfy community of media lovers, and that is worth so much

i want to switch from x to bluesky but can’t commit because my bluesky feed sucks. where are the exceptional designers? the craftspeople? the people building brands, software, experiences? where are the big brains sharing insights? the feed is currently still BORING

I feel like "woke" and "DEI" are attackable because they are too abstracted from their meaning, so autocrats can twist the meanings for propaganda purposes. "woke agenda" Rename them into something crystal clear like "equality" or "fairness" to force autocrats into verbally attacking "fairness"

one thing americans are forgetting is they are often one paycheck away from being homeless across the EU social safety nets often prevent that from being possible i wonder which citizens will be more affected by a tariff forced economic downturn

americans forgot institutions and regulations were built on bloodshed by their ancestors and now DOGE keyboard warriors just press delete

as someone who speaks, has lived and feels at home in 6 european countries - it’s time to rally and federalise and stand together in an emerging world order. streamline regulation, make business and investing across the bloc easy as fuck, and be agile, or be swallowed by US and china this century

the american richest man in the world sieg heiling and telling germans to get over being nazis is a level of cognitive dissonance i did not think could be achieved but here we are

literally building 5 websites/apps at the same time wtf the cycle is idea → quick functional prototype → start making it really work → idea → quick functional.... will be finishing new projects soon

it’s 2025 can we solve cookie banners at a browser level now? i want a “reject by default” toggle on my browser and then never see such a thing again

happy new year new followers! this year will be full of design, products, apps, blockchain, fringe tech, AI, typography, and good vibes happy to be here 🫶

starting to get the feeling that the optimistic and value driven crypto / blockchain people have begun shifting to bluesky (bigger range) or farcaster (strong niche audience), while the elon casino maxis (no front it’s also a part of the ecosystem) will remain on X is this fragmentation a problem?

web3 designers let’s connect i’m building commonground.cg for the past 3 years, an onchain discord replacement. it’s the only serious contender for being remotely as capable as discord. i’m also building findtruffle.xyz to track users on X (soon farcaster and bluesky). it’s wallet-ready of course

Common Ground - The Web3 Community Platform

The social app for all web3 communities and ecosystems. Coordinate across chats, calls, forums, and ecosystems: the new web needs new ways of doing things!

how big is the blockchain / crypto/ web3 community on bluesky? hit me up i believe that it’s still so prevalent on twitter / X, and that’s lame. bluesky is not onchain but at least it’s protocolised and therefore a step forward farcaster is good but missing institutional adoption
