@anderbill.bsky.social the socials: networked? distributed? federated?

yesterday's mood:

@rwg "it's better to talk about [a] topic directly" Yes. And it is hard to try and make sense of individual posts when innuendo, sarcasm, and jargon rule. And it is also not easy to provide enough context for every post (like this one).

@slowenough amen, brother. thanks for this. I have been trying to avoid saying "the idea is" and using "an, or one, or another idea is". I want to practice more open-ended thinking even when abstracting and reducing a big mess to something I can make sense of.

@gwynnion i am so sad to agree with your assessment.

@tedunderwood.me thanks for that title; i am on the hold list at my public lib

@tedunderwood.me have you read Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsy (https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/1393204264) ? lots of fun and ideas to think about

@hipsterelectron if you want to talk about these ideas i am for it. I have read some, and my interest now is in finding ways to argue for (and maybe persuade? not so fast there, buddy) sustainable societies.

@hipsterelectron thx. i look forward to reading more. Post-Growth Living by Kate Soper (https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/1198444497) offers an informative critique and proposals for flourishing w/o growth.

@hipsterelectron thx for reposting this clipped excerpt (from June). do you have a source for it? i want to read more.

@snarfed.org thanks. i read the docs++. but i cannot make sense of this meta-information from my bluesky account:

Bill Anderson @anderbill.bsky.social :

`https://bsky.app/profile/anderbill.threads.net.ap.brid.gy`

@anderbill.threads.net.ap.brid.gy Follows you
[bridged from threads.net/@anderbill/ on the fediverse by fed.brid.gy]

this reads just like the info from my bsky account about my fediiverse account. I am missing something when i read this info

@snarfed.org 1st: thx for the fed.brid.gy work!!
2nd: it seems that fed.brid.gy connects my Mastodon-instance account & my threads account. do i have that right? (i am trying to draw a picture of what is connected to what and how)

@kissane i started re-reading No Sense of Place, and the first few pages of the Preface could have been written yesterday.

@brembs thx for the surveillance pub piece. also not sure i can take more stories like this one right now. 😰

@kissane that book has been in my home for years; i just ordered a replacement copy to read (early chapters were read when it first came out) again.

@kissane very much like your writing (especially the dark forest thinking) and thanks @beep for the simpler style (altho i did like the fancy, somehow i choose the simpler)

@slowenough @peterkaminski and that resistance to coherence and understanding is very good.

@anderbill.bsky.social received on hachyderm
(expected, since bsky<->mastodon bridge is working)
