What a cool idea:

All else being equal, these are the tools we use.

The powers that be want us apathetic, or alternatively too cognitively and emotionally overwhelmed to get engaged. I'm struggling with this myself, and with Arizona was voting today.

Personally I support Elizabeth Warren. She's smart, tough, and terrifies #oldwhitemen. All of which I can get behind.

Wonder if I could write a little tool to calculate my post/reply/favorite/boost ratios on the #fediverse. Would be interesting to see and i'd like to maintain different ratios on different sites.

Or maybe i'm just over-engineering my social media usage.

nah

Article: "Tech was supposed to fix X"

Narrator: "Tech made X far far worse"

"Tech" practices problem-space-reduction to reach MVP, reducing messy, complex, human situations to linear engineering problems, optimized for what "works in most cases" where "most cases" is bounded by systemic and institutional bias (including systemic racism).

Systemic bias is an inseparable part of organizational culture, the common pattern of thinking that goes with it, and the premises by which all human systems function. Therefore each of us has a systemic bias. However, we may be unaware of its unstated assumptions. compression institute, 2011

Hence, "Tech" makes many things far, far worse.

This is so me.

For the most part I appreciate the design decision that the #mastodon developers made to not show reply/boost/fave numbers on the feed lists, because it puts more focus on the content and less on gaming an algorithm for popularity or "engagement".

but I also realize that this makes it harder to know if there are responses! For example, this post by Jun on #playviscious actually has an interesting thread that I'm learning from, but nothing in the UI signifies that there is more content to find connected to the post.

I wonder if there could be an additional affordance in the #UI that there are replies (boosts and faves not so much)?

My response to agreeing with something online should be "say so and amplify it", not "say something clever and self-centering #amplifytruth

I had no idea that the Apache Foundation had a blog app called Roller (Java, much engineered)
