Most people today use term “free market” to include legal and police/military to keep the market free from abuses. A lot can be debated (various forms of IP rights, etc). But in a “Wild West” situation, is it really a free market if yo

It seems to be mainly a reaction against AI (as opposed to scraping in-general, e.g. for a search engine). I'm not saying it makes sense, but there is a large and growing idea of: I want my content out in the world, but I don't wa

All politics aside, is it normal for business people to be elected to the royal society? Even if you think Musk is a genius, it seems hard to label him as a scientist (instead of a CEO of science-related companies).

Interesting part at the end: Another benefit of an open network - your blogpost's comments can be hosted on the network itself. (I'm posting this reply from bluesky!) Link to thread with comments: https://bsky.a

But on some random website, with people copy-pasting from who-knows-what, they will have to normalize or validate, etc. to deal with such characters.

I have gotten lured by engage-bait from Instagram. IMHO there is something off about Threads. It surely depends on who you follow and how you use it, but I find it totally un-engaging. Bluesky recently, seems better.

All politics aside (not a minor point for many), Twitter has been made much worse IMHO in the Musk era. They de-prioritize links, prevent 3rd party apps, closed the API, and blocked access for non-logged-in viewing. And a smaller meta-point

I've fallen for the Threads-links shown in Instagram. Obviously the instagram connection is what gave them a great start at a user-base. But, everytime I try to use Threads, something seems off (mainly see lame, boring, engagement-bait

It does seem natural to happen. But there are loads of "neutral" accounts: gov agencies, businesses, etc that use social media for announcements and simple broadcast communication. Most are on Twitter now. I think I big question i

There's the problem that "appears" is a visible phenomenon and unicode strings can contain non-visible characters and multiple ways to represent the same visible information. Normalization is supposed to help here, but some s

A bigger jump seemed to be Aug 28 - Sept 7 (daily likers 200k => 1M+). I wonder why. (also some days are missing there, so maybe something changed in the data collection).

This is cool and a big reason to root for BlueSky over X, all politics aside. I wonder if they (or some third party) offers zip files of dumps of various kinds? It seems that would go easier on thier servers.

RSS feeds simply return the last N posts, correct? How can RSS be used to serve a user's whole history? Already, we talking about some other service that accumulates the history and provides search, history, etc. That and many other th

"social" means people interacting - replies, likes, etc. If someone has an RSS reader with feeds from some news sources, official channels issuing announcements, etc - that's great, but does anyone consider that "social
