are your conceptual manipulators flexible enough to rotate these shapes?

should one want to be multipotentiate, handling both the sharp and the soft with equal aplomb, a suitably-flexible metaframe is required; one capable of donning cognitive tools as if they were gloves, switching between modes seamlessly

the ontological status of mental illness depends on your attitude towards phenomena; are dynamics objects? do you reify emergences? how can one perceive a delta? with which contextual gloves do we hold a tension?

boredom is an executive function poverty mindset

RT @pee_zombie
poverty mindset is a crisis-frame, in that it constrains one's awareness to the much-limited set of economic affordances available to those lacking financial resources; this is a dangerous tradeoff, as crisis-frames are necessarily self-perpetuating

People talk about KYC like it's sacrosanct. It is not. It's a program which should have been cancelled long ago on its own merits and discussing it in the realm of cryptocurrency is a cynical attempt by the banks to quash a po…

Twitter will not end. As a consequence of internal conflict, it will gradually transform into a series of successor polities, driven by the idea of Twitterness. There will also survive an East Twitter that, weakened by the onslaught of new social media, will continue its legacy.

most times you're bored you've actually filtered out all the interesting things you could be doing from your awareness bc they're painful for some reason, such as being scared you won't be able to execute on them for some reason

We published #Fedilab 3.7.3 in beta.
You will now be able to display all messages in profiles for remote accounts (Mastodon accounts from another instance).
You just have to click on that new icon (magnifying glass).
If you interact with remote messages from the profile, it will work like for followed instances.

If you're looking to make new connections on Mastodon, I can recommend turning on "Enable advanced web interface". Then when you search for a hashtag you can pin that results column (and add further hashtags to it), so you get a secondary feed (or more: you can pin multiple columns) of people you might like to follow, because of shared interests. Here's my screen, with Home, Notifications and two columns for following hashtags.

"vaguely future goth tech woman using a floating crystal ball computer interface" is so a blindingly strong aesthetic that I'm automatically willing to forgive that this would most probably not actually be a very good user interface

Looking at the-federation.info, even with all the *insane* growth (from ~600k monthly active users, to >3mln today, in 3 weeks), the accounts-per-server stat actually *went down*.
Because the number of known instances went up from ~10k to 15k.
This is fantastic. Thank you to all #FediAdmin folk who took upon themselves to create and nurture new communities on fedi.

Many of us are feeling the stress of moving our communities en masse to a new place - a place that looks superficially like the old place, but has been built on top of a collection of beliefs about the world that are fundamentally the opposite of the one that underpinned the space we came from.
Not everybody has going to find that this works for them. Mastodon will be a waystation for a lot of communities.
This is okay. It’s allowed to be temporary. Don’t assume it’s everyone’s Forever Home.
not suggesting y'all should start paying me, but there are some important longer-term roadmap ideas in here. if we want to make the existence of a twitter alternative viable, these are problems that need solving

Clearly there's a lot of interest in using *something* other than twitter among TPoT and adjacent folks, and masto seems to me to be winning right now.
There's also a lot of problems with masto (and fediverse in general), which might eventually drive people away.
Before we fragment, recentralize on a differently user-hostile platform or lose parts of the community let's brainstorm how we can fix this.
