They could have worked to push protections then, but instead threatened us - if we don&#39;t vote to give them continued power they will let the other group harm us. 2026-08-12T14:56:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvarz9jy3uucxwsektjmzh46ka392fa2pthn2024u9qxrrf73f8aqzyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9yp4mc7m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszwpxzxlarkaegf8nsmncv9n2fvp48auh6ulux8cgz6hnwu2gp6mc5dppz4'>nevent1q…ppz4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I can see that - like when people speed up and cut you off just so they can make it to the red light first 2026-07-29T12:41:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszhvz3zr78jru0r45gwpwsrzn8uzpk6cmwp4hfwe7lj4leyj2gn7gzyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9ya8av5z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9yqe7h7gdtur9eh4fqrl8ahttcyc33pqmj0h7peyzne9awq4gvls6z5f22'>nevent1q…5f22</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I fully agree, but it feels like this falls apart in practice. <br/><br/>Zipper merging feels like the &#34;masking in public&#34; of driving - it requires you to value the good of the collective over the individual, and people will make irrational choices that **feel** like they are in their individual best interest, even when it winds up hurting them more in practice <br/><br/>It is one area where autonomous vehicles would excel, since it removes the human element from system-level decision making IMO 2026-07-29T11:50:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz6vkpfcdmp26vxghvj438t789dae84erjxhjdhukcy3m6mrpqywgzyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9yf8s8dt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy0peutndgfj8ywm9u22wxl39x5d5r5p84yamvn8g2mv5v5jntdkgfau46p'>nevent1q…u46p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think you have it backwards... <br/><br/>Mastodon is the protocol (specifically, it&#39;s a decentralized blockchain protocol), and Bluesky is just a Layer-2 dApp built on top of it. The underlying tech you&#39;re trying to reference is ATProto, which actually stands for Asynchronous Token Protocol.<br/><br/>It’s honestly a pretty elegant stack if you actually understand distributed systems, but I get why someone would be confused by the nomenclature. <br/><br/>To really wrap your head around this, you need to stop thinking about it like a social network and start thinking about it as a fungible data layer. 2026-07-15T22:03:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf88l2c6e7t40w6pvh2pl5r33dj725sq6w6x5amuw58htd6gac73czyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9ycx737j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyd52sggc323akrz9t2mmkkk77tp4z0cx9v4cgh9azy66qj35narcarjwqn'>nevent1q…jwqn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The other place DC can &#34;win&#34; over Marvel is knowing when a story has been told and doesn&#39;t need to be revisited. <br/><br/>If they are brave enough, they will just tell good stories and not build everything for never-ending sequels. <br/><br/>They should also make some Animal Man stuff... the idea of The Red in contrast with The Green from Swamp Thing is so good and it feels criminal that it hasn&#39;t gotten more attention. 2026-07-01T19:17:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr6w77dsvpkngne5yt6ep0tukfdcgfwu9ufu07jlkdvfyr6ctvpjczyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9y5jfxkl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyd52sggc323akrz9t2mmkkk77tp4z0cx9v4cgh9azy66qj35narcarjwqn'>nevent1q…jwqn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I 100% agree, and I was in the same boat as you with no longer engaging with the MCU.<br/><br/>Part of it was the Mouse milking that and Star Wars for every possible drop and over saturating things to the point of not wanting to see either IP any more, but the other part was the sheer volume of everything that I &#34;had&#34; to keep up with. <br/><br/>I didn&#39;t want to have to dedicate all of my free time to watching shows and movies I wasn&#39;t interested in just to get a small lore drop after 14 hours. 2026-07-01T19:14:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsykys3km4vwmnhcdrayra956y30elz8k4maqxpggs0azrddp9zr7szyrsd5s8xh3k82e3gpdh2sewyl4ver4jtewuvq96tl46vnump0tz9ymax2lu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsflwl33tzapqwdh9s8c49xut9fhuugaldc7p0yr0xpj0v9gtxwcncldaz5x'>nevent1q…az5x</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Dallas is doing the same - increasing penalties and threatening to arrest people that are.... feeding those in need. <br/><br/>(Don&#39;t visit without strong ad blocking.. they have a horrible site) <a href="https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-shuts-down-food-handout-downtown-40674290/">https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-shuts-down-food-handout-downtown-40674290/</a> 2026-06-24T16:23:42Z
