Perfection

Beans is memes

Has been in earnest since about 2014 by my watch

I’m a woman and child

You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.

I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture

A few thoughts:

• As others have said comparison is the thief of joy. It’s also not a very useful motivator. Feeling a bit better off than someone else isn’t going to push you to work all night when it’s required. That motivation is going to have to come from an intrinsic place - some well of meaning that has significance for you.

• I’ve had the chance to study a little philosophy in pursuit of my profession and having a foundational system of thought - or several to compare - from which to approach decision making has helped me to determine my path and give meaning to my time alive.

• If you’re trying to do anything difficult, doing it alone is courting failure. Find other people doing similar things and figure out how you can help them out. Equally, if you want to learn something you’ll have a much easier time if you find a teacher.

I do think the question of who owns community content is nuanced. I put this comment here, you might say that means I own it and should be able to withdraw it - but it also doesn’t mean much of anything by itself, it needs your content to make sense. So who owns the discourse we are having? Me or you? Or whoever runs the server it is stored on - who must have some legal right to reproduce our content in order to provide the community space? Or the community as a whole? The combined content on Reddit represents an incredibly valuable store of information and learning - who does that belong to? Who should get to benefit from it?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

Edit: question answered

I think he was just trying to be coy

Volume of users is everything here. Picking up enough share grants you a tremendous gravity as a social service. Once a service has network effect on their side it takes an extraordinary amount to unseat them - and Instagram users will pad the numbers at first but who knows if they will engage. Fedi users are demonstrably early adopters willing to put up with a new service’s teething issues. If meta can plug in and grab them it’s a big win.

I don’t think fedi is currently competing with any meta property? This is an opportunistic land grab from meta aiming to capitalise on twitter’s weakness. Fedi offers them a ready made protocol tested at scale.

I think nit picking each others speech is the true cringe redditism

When the gif doesn’t load but you imagine the rest of it anyway:

Apparently tarantula taste like crab

It’s interesting to think about how algorithmic (and now AI) curation could work in favour of different goals but capitalism has imprinted its ethic into our new digital commons

How so? It seems like they were intentionally testing its reasoning capacity and the strength of its implicit bias
