I made it onto a block list on Bluesky. Worse still, I’m not even sure I should try to argue. I don’t really engage in shilling and definitely don’t harass artists but, I went through my posts and even there, I have, unsurprisingly, mentioned crypto and NFTs a fair bit.

My 2025 Resolutions/Plans: - less time/more intentional time online - be less antagonistic, more respectful and constructive in conversation - go back to school, learn new skills - spend more time with friends and family - read more, fiction especially (I mostly read non-fiction) - meditate and work out consistently (for mental/overall health, not for physical gains) - get involved with more cooperatives - write often, share very little of it; in other words let my creative expression be for me and ephemeral, not a product to be consumed

I’ve decided to abandon my next article. I’m beginning school this week and I need to focus on that. Plus I’m trying to decide if I’m going to continue this project at all. I expect the internet to become a very toxic place in the coming days, weeks and beyond and I’m sure I want to spend my time online. I don’t see myself deleting my accounts or even abstaining entirely, but I may make a serious effort to be less online.

One upside of Meta abandoning moderation is that it may push people away from the wholly open “town square” / “everyone is an influencer” model of social networking into more cozyweb self-moderated communities. I’ve long suspected that’s a healthier approach to the internet, personally.

My next article argues that capitalism is good… kind of. Stay tuned. I’m not rushing my work out anymore.

Have you read last month’s issue of Thumbs’ Update? In it, I made the case against copyright using nostalgia and leisure as the anchor points for this discussion. Succinctly, I talked about video games and emulation. I’m working on the December issue now. If you want to support and encourage this kind of content, mint a digital collectible, or consider becoming a patron on Hypersub for a credit in the issues themselves. https://thumbsup.mirror.xyz/ua0DZXKHAa-h89Zg4sR1ErcD6dXP3xZBQMdTaTnNTiQ

People ask why I use so many different social networks. The reality is the social web is relatively siloed now. Here on FC, crypto posts get 99% of the attention, where anything else I post is around 5-10 interactions, mostly from my closest fans. On Mastodon (and Bluesky) this post got lot more interactions, led to new followers, comments, reshares, etc. Not a critique of FC, just a fact about the state of social rn.

I think it goes without saying but if you ever see an account with a thumb sharing right wing content, it’s not me.
