   yes I hope bluesky replaces twitter, I’m also aware that bluesky is in its VC-funded phase of trying to replace its entire perceived market and especially any ideological competitors. the pattern is well understood if not well known: domination over cooperation, hype over honesty, vagueness that serves capital, well paid worker/boosters who are very high on their own supply

     I’ve become interested in social change that gets to the root of patterns of power and capital. change that is fundamentally creative, not at the scale of VC, but at the scale of human relationships.

     trumps win has only amplified this impulse in me: start very small and slowly build up from there, centering values of love and compassion. to scale, network with other folks doing the same thing in different ways

     mastodon is dorky. the fediverse is full of failed experiments and interesting research. we are always talking about what sucks and how to change it. small groups get together and make recommendations or shift patterns or create models others can use. we fight the same -isms here as in the society at large. progress moves slowly, we’re always wondering if it’s even possible. this is all very *human*
