between strauss and seuss between based and cringe between bsky and twitter
bluesky still feels weird, feels like ~vibes~ twitter where you tweet about your day or whatever not a place to have actual discussions
bluesky has a quote-tweet meta right now, people are adding very little value to quote-tweets and coasting on the original tweet's value. does twitter do something here or is it just twitter ui emphasizing the quote'd post more that makes the difference?
if you don’t like the posts on the “what’s hot” page, simply poast harder.
if you like the sound of your own voice you're a pyscho
“I’m not necessarily saying it’s um Duck Season, doc, I’m just saying it certainly ain’t Wabbit Season. Using basic deduction we can then infer…”
Someone should make report cards for bluesky that use LLMs to see what categories of tweets do well
realizing I really liked the ability to see views and having it removed is inducing a degree of social anxiety because i can't tell if my tweets are bombing or doing well according to a ratio. FUCK
*flicks handle and plays with the edge* "notice anything... different about me ladies?" *stares you down seductively* "I'm gonna pull so many tpot baddies and egirls with this new handle"
saila (icarus)@saila.outgroup.social · 3y agocan someone set me up with a .outgroup.social handle? idk how this works
can someone set me up with a .outgroup.social handle? idk how this works
They should add PvP because that's my only skill; I'm like a soldier who comes home and has to deal with the unbearable mundaneness of having a normal life.
saila (icarus)@saila.outgroup.social · 3y agoBluesky is like Twitter but without PvP
everytime i see a *single* mutual that doesn't follow me here i collapse and my whole body convulses and i literally die -- my doctor said to please follow me.
what's tpot? well son, when two social graphs love each other veryyyyy muchhhhh...
what's the going conversion rate between bluesky followers and twitter followers?
Creating the First Public Group-Chat in Bluesky: Rules: 1) All group messages must be threaded down-stream of this post. 2) Only 1 post a day per participant. 3) You're allowed to fork off of the main thread (while still following rule 2). This is gonna be fun, who's here Day One?
hey @jay.bsky.social, no dms so far, so just gonna ask for your birdapp handle (or find me there @sailaunderscore)
tpot as emergent social behavior, pareto's network.
saila (icarus)@saila.outgroup.social · 3y agotpot does this on twitter too: upvoting all replies by default, having several top niche posters from different areas of twitter, having more groupchats than any other group on twitter -- it all leads to a huge global maxima/minima that pulls you in once you're in it's orbit.

Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 3y agothere was a big sudden influx, i still see older accounts around, but if you’re not following them you probably won’t bc tpot basically acts as an upvote ring to take over “what’s hot” rn
folks i love (some of) you but this is true. Positive Vibes Only energy is cool & all but gets boring real quick, is illusory, and makes for a fragile ecosystem. none of this will last if we do not start transitioning to actual conversations & debates
Matt Bateman@handle.invalid · 3y agoThis placed is energized and sparkles at the meta level but at the object level it's kinda boring lol
were the horrors of twitter, the battlegrounds, the fallen mutuals, the banned poasters worth it? maybe it was all worth it to see a bluesky.
tag yourself i’m masturbatory shower thoughts
sigfig@sigfig.bsky.social · 3y agotpot is really two distinct communities. half of us are emotionally stunted pseudovictorian socialites in sf or nyc and the other half are suburban homeowners who post intellectually masturbatory shower thoughts as a distraction from their kids or broken marriage or whatever
hey losers, welcome to highschool *shoves you into a locker*
