Young people think they know it all, old people think they know it all, there’s a sweet spot right in the middle where we know that none of us really know anything

"This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.

After looking around a bit, looks like a lot of #twitter people moving here and doin some #introduction so I’ll say hi! I’m Rhys, a new journalist out of #portland OR. looking to use social media to improve the news. I never really figured out Twitter but the environment here seems more positive so why not try it? Happy to chat w yall!
D.B. Cooper but it's me slipping out the side door with the cheese tray into the darkness, never to be seen again.

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.

BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

@jamieannmason can’t wait for his inevitable downfall! He ruined the one constant in my life
“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.

The thing that's most frustrating, that I think will fill many people with justifiable anger, is the destruction of all their online connections. There are communities on Twitter that I love, of which only a tiny fraction exists here on Mastodon. Some of them have gone over to Bluesky, but they're only letting in a slow trickle. So many people are having their communities torn away from them and there's nothing they can do about it.
