👋 I really can't believe how easy the migration process has become with tools like the moover. I remember looking into migration in early 2024 and it seemed to be somewhere between impossible and infeasible, where you had to stitch together your own script from very vague written instructions.

Finally got around to moving over to @selfhosted.social. Felt like an important thing to stop putting off after going to the fediforum workshop last week. Feels good.

Heck even Seinfeld or Rick & Morty. I'm not sure what the cause is. Is it just poor media literacy, or will people always take what they want from piece of media - or is that the same thing? It's possible the solution _is_ just "these stories are irresponsible to tell at scale," but I hate that.

I'm very conflicted about these kinds of stories. I think some are worth telling and offer unique perspectives that can be interesting to analyze. But like many other challenging pieces of mass media, can suffer context collapse. Happens with satire like Starship Troopers and RoboCop as well...

Feeds being the core of a microblogging app like this have tremendous power to shape your experience, so I think it's cool that randos have the power to run some of the most popular feeds.

Interest based, location based, event based, etc. Lots of cool stuff. One feed folks really like is "For You" bsky.app/profile/spac... The algorithm is: It finds people who liked the same posts as you, and shows you what else they've liked recently. Most people like it more than Discover.

One of the unique/useful things about bluesky is custom feeds. Lots of people _think_ they want a reverse-chronological list of posts from people they follow but few actually do. And many folks find Discover feed underwhelming. But some people run their own custom feeds you can use...

I gotta hand it to Evercade. Not just for reigniting my love of retro gaming, but of games in general. When I got the OG handheld in 2022 I had mostly fallen off video games as a hobby, maybe played a couple per year on Switch. But now I'm back into games both as a hobby and a community.

Oh, good. It wasn't up there when I checked a couple times this morning.

I keep seeing this shared around, but I haven't been able to find any independent verification or confirmation from MRFF. We all know these people are Christian Nationalists and have stepped up to this line several times, but this sets off misinformation warning bells for me until I see confirmation

I think we're closer than we've ever been to the open social web bootstrapping all of its own community spaces. But we aren't there yet, and I think that's a neat milestone worth building towards.

Talking to other groups and communities with different needs than us is definitely important, don't get me wrong. But we should also be honest with ourselves about where our own use-cases go unserved or underserved rather than pretending we're done there.
