I strongly agree with this part: > Pseudonymity and anonymity are essential to protecting users who may have opinions, identities, or interests that do not align with those in power. Their suggestion to open the platform up to more 3rd party devs is good, too. I’d love to see Blue Sky become more than vaporware.

I just wish they'd declutter the web page. Stop suggesting other folks I might follow (I don't). Just give me the tweets of the person I'm on. And block all the spam stuff. So annoying. At least let me filter between real people who've done something to prove they are a person and the bots. For those who like the bots they can toggle the bots on.

  Or hire private mercenaries to firebomb bot farms. He's got the money. Hire those YouTube hackers who pwn scam call centers to find the bad guys, run all the people out and torch the servers and phones and buildings. Modern society is too polite and civil.

    Wouldn't that be wonderful? But the truth is that the bot farms will transform into Tesla-loving fanboys who just happen to intersperse strategic Russian talking points and news favorable to fascist-populist candidates.

  > I just wish they'd declutter the web page. Stop suggesting other folks I might follow (I don't). Just give me the tweets of the person I'm on. Second this. I only want to see what people I follow actually say or retweet, and nothing else. I don’t care what they like/heart, I don’t care what people they follow say if I’m not following that person too, etc. I only want to see comments and retweets of people I directly follow. The reason is because you can only fit so much stuff in your timeline, and you have to pare it down somehow. I curate my follow list carefully for this reason, and don’t want any extraneous timeline items that displace the tweets and retweets I want to see.
