• Just reading through [[Yancey Strickler]]’s [[The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet]] again as I add it here since it’s linked from [[Moving Castles: Modular and Portable Multiplayer Miniverses]]
  • Uh… while he tags [[The Three Body Problem]] book right at the top, he is defining #[[dark forest]] as the opposite of how I think about it
  • No no — the Internet at large is a dark forest. The private spaces are #[[cozy web]]
  • Anyway, it’s a good article. The ending, which talks about large open platforms becoming more dangerous as people of good intent leave, is very telling as people set up shop on #Mastodon
• [[Daring Fireball]] Musk Steers Twitter Right Into the Iceberg, Bans All Links to All Other Social Media Sites
  • Well, this is an argument for [[POSSE]]
  • The way I do this with [[Micro.blog]], where posts flow to #Twitter, isn’t cross posting
  • It’s using MicroBlog as a “client” to post to multiple places — like #linkedin and [[Tumblr]]
  • Here’s the write up on feeds in Micro.blog — the Mb docs and settings are hard to find when searching so I’m not even sure that’s totally up to date
  • This lead me to Belle B. Cooper’s post on leaving Micro.blog and reminded me that I have all these same complaints (chief among them: not open source) but have stuck with it from frustration of having to run my own relatively fragile service
  • [[Indie Kit]] on #Heroku was great other than an issue eventually with images not working
    • LATER Get #[[Indie Kit]] running on [[Railway]]
    • I need the #Fission append endpoint for image uploads…
• [[Gordon Brander]] on [[pace layering]] Gordon Brander > Patterns > Pace Layering
  • Pace layers are a model for thinking about change, developed by [[Stewart Brand]] .
  • Each layer acts as a platform for the layer above it, and moves more slowly, else it wouldn't act as a platform.
