This is a deliberate capital strike from the billionaire class and nothing more. It isn't an AI driven trend.

Over the past few months I’ve been putting my UX Interviewing hat on and helping @jenniferplusplus’s Letterbook project, by talking to a variety of people doing moderation work, largely in the Fedi space

This is the first step towards designing interfaces specifically to tackle moderation challenges, but we learned a *lot* and I typically summarize my interviews anyway, and we think those learnings are worth sharing:

@jenniferplusplus I'm pretty stoked to see someone, anyone, say something along these lines! I've been wanting to build a social extension on my pet project but the attitude around AP that you're talking about in this thread ground my enthusiasm to a halt.

It's such a relief to see someone proceeding with the mindset of pushing the networks forward and together.

I'd love to read more of your thoughts and appreciate you sharing what you've shared already!

Not just starter packs and labelers but feeds and indexers too. Incredible insights, each of those.

And it shouldn’t be Mastodon, it should be apub extensions

@zkat if folks like you can't hit principal even after years of focused effort, it's a pretty dire indictment of what the industry thinks of as "principal" imo. like really, i've met some folks with that title that haven't done a fragment of the supposed role compared to stuff you've done.

@yosh I think there’s a big barrier in technical writing that is mostly jargon, and I don’t know if it’s deliberate or defensive or what.

Or maybe it’s just plain trying to explain something after going so deep on a problem that the author forgets where they were when they started trying to figure it out to begin with?

@Rainer labelers too.

Writing dreamcode in my language that I definitely am not planning to make is irritating enough that I am definitely not thinking about looking into syntax highlighting basics

Totally not reflecting on the programming language that I definitely won’t build

I'm just a simple man with a simple dream, and that dream is to not have to spend all day every day working just to keep up. If only.

@bengo Wow, the missing-all-the-points whoosh factor of the commenters in that thread is incredibly high, even for HN.

@erincandescent @cwebber uh holy crap. this is really an uncanny shortcut. you're... absolutely right?

This is the really important one now. I probably understand ActivityPub enough now, thank you for the help. It would be really helpful to get a cross comparison with bluesky though

@yburyug.bsky.social it’s in the settings-> change handle page I think. It gives you the option to use domains you own and you verify it by making a TXT DNS record

@moonsea his wife figured out how to get on his account just to come to post about it for him, what an amazing woman 😭

Thinking about how the attempt to redpill trekkies with "Wow when did Star Trek go woke?" style shit fell flat.

Like man, I know you have a good hit rate recruiting from toxic fanbases, but you don't understand trekkies at all.

Trekkies don't need your approval or even want it, really. These people were sewing their own uniforms and writing / acting out fan scripts in 70s. They have no desire to cater to you for social acceptance. None.

@GeekyTeaKitty Do you know about the bridge? If not, https://fed.brid.gy/

I follow / am followed by some accounts and it works just fine. There's a bit of delay, and follower counts and interaction counts (boosts/etc) are per-network, BUT it works both ways and has no extra steps past handle syntax

imagine, if you will, screaming. endless. now imagine that from those screams: more screaming
