When a social structure is flat (like twitter) all friction is between people & there’s no ‘natural’ adjuticator except a powerful & unaccoutable adjutication class. When it has cliques (like mastodon) it can be broken down & adjuticators are limited in power.

Twitter’s new developer guidelines might end fun bot accounts. https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/twitters-new-developer-guidelines-might-end-fun-bot-accounts.html

Bad idea of the day: a twitter bot that responds to messages by paying mechanical turk five cents to produce a response – and in the absence of mentions, pays mechanical turk five cents to produce one tweet per day

tfw middle-aged billionaires try to buy their way into weird sun twitter & accidentally get cybergoth GFs instead

Apparently, the term ‘intellectual darknet’ is trending on twitter. Is this a reference to LW, or to incel communities? Or, are people finally reading Neoreaction: A Basilisk?

@robbinaer@robbinaer.info I think I should also increase. 140 is often too short. I thought Twitter had also 140.

Creating Passionate Users: Is Twitter TOO good? http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2007/03/is_twitter_too_.html

Rather than sending advertisements into outer space, it would be really nice if we made it so that Facebook and Twitter would run reasonably on six month old mid-market desktop computers. These JS timeouts are annoying.

Despite that, I’m still a big fan of the service and check it daily. It’s much more enjoyable than Twitter is, for sure, even with its drawbacks.
