inside the machine, I mostly just reconfigure it based on need.<br/><br/>The problem is vastly more social than technical, so the solution to taking on Instagram’s dominance is stealing the original idea that made Instagram Instagram<br/><br/>Pilgrammers<br/><br/>Pilgrammers was a marketing campaign by instagram to pay for trips for the most active instagram posters back in the early days.<br/><br/>I had friends that essentially were Instagram before Instagram— random college friends in Virginia.<br/><br/>Instagram needed a realistic and natural quality to it, so the initial seed content was high quality, highly personal, evolutions of “this is how I see the world”<br/><br/>So, I’m down to make a reality cult if you want to truly take them on.<br/><br/>We could even score some of the earliest Pilgrammers which will fire up the nostalgia engines of the people that lived Instagram v1, like the organic growth influencers before “the meta” 2026-06-21T16:49:06Z

disentangle what ai means” because it’s become an overly conflated term and I also leaned into describing every technology that’s not open source in the classical sense as AI<br/><br/>I know that’s problematic for people trying to sell being both open and ai, but it’s a distinction that most non tech people actually appreciate.<br/><br/>If it is not AI, I’m able to break it into the component parts and we can all look at them and talk about them objectively <br/><br/>If it is AI, they’re starting to say it’s “too dangerous for non technical people” and I’m applauding everyone seeing those

ux”<br/><br/>bluesky intelligently didn’t try and solve two problems simultaneously <br/><br/>the two components of any digital product are infrastructure, the actual technical bits, and the expectations, the why anyone should rely on any given infrastructure.<br/><br/>the biggest failure of activity pub is our collective inability to define expectations<br/><br/>i wouldn’t argue bluesky has better ux than activity pub, but i would argue that building a 1:1 interface to twitter made it so the expectations match and the big, big point here is that<br/><br/>people really do not care about infrastructure as long as their expectations meet reality.<br/><br/>activity pub spaces spend way, way too much energy attempting to persuade people’s expectations to be different, but the easier answer is<br/><br/>just build a twitter clone? i know mastodon is twitter inspired and tech savvy people can navigate any ui, but the majority of people are trained on expectations that should be pretty apparent when you put twitter and bluesky side by side and squint.<br/><br/>if you want here to win and bluesky makes you sad, maybe just make a twitter clone and not a twitter fork and the people you want to understand here, will actually get it without an explanation, for the first time ever. 2024-11-24T08:16:38Z
