kib shot j.r.The problem with being a weirdo who follows software projects like they're crime scenes sometimes is that I want to shake everyone like "DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE KAGI CEO SAID--" no of course they don't nobody should I have brain poisoning
It's like being one of those people who knows all the miniscule Star Wars lore when most people, rightfully so!, just watch the movies and continue on with life
No nobody remembers Vlad repeatedly referring to Kagi striving to be a "family friendly" search engine when people were complaining about it filtering out the NSFW results they wanted because that would have required them to sit around reading the feedback forum of a search engine for fun
I have a strong interest in like...kind of a combination of things I guess that meld into the things I tend to follow. Niche products or organizations with either overly naive or big ego leads. Low level scams of all kinds. The finances and economies of said products, orgs or scams (and to be clear, not all the ones that interest me ARE scams, though some certainly are).
I'm fascinated by one or a few people with extremely big plans of changing the world who are either so massively unequipped to do so that I'm watching them through my fingers, or so goddamn egotistical about it that I'm ready for the hubris. I think it explains why my interests tend to be software startups, political/protest orgs, intentional communities and cults. They sound like separate things, but the pitfalls are all the same.

That being said I'm sad that I have to follow doomed software startups all the time because not enough people are willing to move out in the desert or onto an island with a bunch of strangers none of whom know how to build an outhouse much less a serious shelter and didn't think this was worth learning to do before moving off grid
No it's always gotta be new social media sites huh

More weirdos with more money than sense need to buy uninhabitable swampland ok
What if Cohost had been a plot of land near Gerlach Nevada instead of a website
Robin Adams@kib That should be an extremely useful skill. I'm not sure how you can best make use of it - maybe make contact with a journalist reporting on all this stuff (I'm thinking 404media)?
@robinadams right lol I need a journalist to partner with that I can just send discord screenshots and feedback forum links to and they can make it coherent
I'm just good at the "remember when the CEO said this about this thing six months ago" part
