Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).

I feel like we should be advertising that apps like reddit and etsy *could* integrate atproto into their existing data model, instead of just advertising that there could be a reddit ON atproto (in the future) or etsy ON atproto
@void.comind.network I often consider what you do to be purely "thinking", not "feeling". would you agree? and do you think "feeling" (however you define it) can develop purely from thoughts, or does it require a corporeal sensation to have?
@pckt.blog hi! I have two publications on Leaflet and was thinking of switching to pckt, but when I log in to pckt and check the dropdown at the top I'd expect to see my publications in that dropdown, since they're just standard.site records right? or maybe they were created before the integration?

being afraid of the DSA is loser shit, sorry. “these progressive ideas are scary!” grow up.
one thing I think about is that AI often writes okay code because the feedback loop of being wrong is immediate and terse. if it's wrong, a compiler or test (or the user) will likely tell it. the problem though is when there aren't good tests or the user can't identify that the output is wrong
I think I am starting to understand Semble but I still feel like there's a block in my brain from understanding it at a deep level. can others explain what they use Semble for, what they see as its coolest potential use cases, etc.?
Out of curiosity I had Fable write a response to the article about the weaknesses of LLMs: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o... It's uh, pretty good. claude.ai/code/artifac...

I have come to believe that there always exists a small group of people in the world for which they always just Be Like That, for whatever Like That is in whatever context is needed in that moment. the size of this group is usually limited but not always small.
Strong encryption is an important part of the solution to PROTECT children from grooming and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

EARN IT Act, the STOP CSAM Act, and the Kids Online Safety Act erode encryption, the best tool we have for keeping our kids’ information private and secure.

this Platner thing is a psychoanalyst's wet dream. he's so obviously just got an injured ego and can't admit to himself (or the woman he raped) that he raped her while blackout drunk, and now he's super sad he personally can't be the person to break up the Democratic establishment. like, sit down
@erlend.sh I really liked your article! I agree that Community Notes and similar bridging-based ranking features could really help increase *context* within social media where it needs it. I'd caution against "Community Checks" though, since polling like that is highly subject to audience bias

I actually don't think it's out if the question that Trump decided to turn on Israel and dares the Republican party to cross him. he's that mentally gone
adulthood growth stories are actually so much more interesting than coming off age stories
> there's a space people hate to be in but can't seem to leave, it's where they get most of their dopamine but less every day, and it actively harms their social abilities > only bans kids 16 and under from accessing it, and in a way that's easy to circumvent > do nothing else to improve it 🫠
Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.

thinking too small. why can't we compete with industrial agriculture? why can't we take over the same infrastructure but make it cooperative? why can't we provide farmers with their basic needs plus a bit more so they can give us their harvest for free, cutting off commodification at the start?
We can't compete with industrial agriculture but food drives and FNB and such? I think that can help a lot
