@mitch Similarly, this went around when I was in school mumble-mumble years ago:
The more you study, the more you know.
The more you know, the more you can forget.
The more you can forget, the more you do forget.
The more you do forget, the less you know.
So why study? -

@manton But I know it’s eternally hard to try to be a neutral publisher and free-speech advocate. Overall I’m still quite happy with your vision & leadership.

@manton I’m not sure I really buy the “micro.blog just wants to enable people to publish wherever they choose” argument. Are you planning to enable posting to Truth Social as well?
There’s a spectrum here. Reasonable people can differ on how far along the spectrum you should move. X is far enough along to start to make me uncomfortable. Even if my money isn’t going directly there, it helps in some small measure to enable the coding that sends other money there.

@manton Have we forgotten the whole spectacle of the FIFA Peace Prize? The dynamic pricing ticket gouging? This whole thing has been a codependent spectacle of corruption on all sides from the start.

@manton On the other hand, your unfederated post doesn’t look very good in Micro.blog’s own web interface.

@manton I recently started experimenting with 52Frames, a social photo site. They have an interesting approach to likes: you can get a daily email telling you about likes on your photos, but they don’t total it all up, and likes don’t show on the site. So if you wanted to track your like numbers you could do it with some work, but there is deliberate friction there.

@mitch I have always believed that there must be a good HOA somewhere. Just like I believe there is the occasional black swan somewhere.
