- moron4hire 9mo agoThe stuff Nate Silver is concerned about has nothing to do with being an active, good-faith, contributing member of a social network and everything to do with being a writer trying to sell his writing and expecting to sit in a privileged position of respect above the hoi paloi simply because he founded a glorified popular blog. He's salty about Bluesky because he couldn't figure out how to engagement farm there like he did on Twitter, so when people got upset at his click bait tactics he table-flipped and called the whole endeavor doomed. As I often try to tell my mother, if there are a lot of people who have a problem with you, maybe you should seek out the common denominator.
- johnnyanmac 9mo agoThe engagement farming isnt difficult if you focus on it. It simply requires you to... Actively participate in discussions and topics. Harder to automate than spamming blog links, and that's great. Also, a common saying for your 2nd paragraph: "If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe it’s time to check your shoes"
