Reddit, Following in Twitter’s Footsteps Like a Lost PuppyEarlier last year, when Musk restricted access to Twitter's API (see: X) and started charging for access to it, Reddit's team, and likely also the CEO, Steve Huffman, decided that this was a way cool and awesome idea. And, just like the nonstop shoehorning of AI into literally everything, most...

Community Moderation, The Bad Place, and Doing the Work YourselfI'm kind of a weirdo. I have an account on numerous ActivityPub instances ranging from Mastodon, to Misskey, to a rather new one that replaces Tumblr, called Wafrn. And I'm writing this post today, because of something that I was made aware of via that new Tumblr replacement, AP connected...

Engagement Farming: A Disease of the Modern InternetSitting here on a day off from work, not really gaming, not really doing much anything besides sipping a soda, and thinking about cooking up some noodles. There's got to be something worthwhile to write about, at least, right? Not according to a large amount of people who use Twitter,...

Prompt: An Ode to EdShare a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. I'm grateful that this prompt graced my dashboard, because it's giving me the chance to write about someone who ... I think vastly changed my life without even knowing it. And even though he passed away in...

Prompt: Adapting, Post Covid-19How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Sometimes I save Jetpack writing prompts as drafts so that I have something to write about later, should I feel so inclined. Obviously, if I want to be writing, I should be writing more for my book...

mkultra.monster, a Mastodon InstanceIf you're seeing this from the Fediverse, it's because I have my self-hosted Wordpress blog using plugins that connect it directly via something of a pseudo instance. Each post on my blog is also a post on the Fediverse, and although I can follow users from Wordpress, it's not exactly...

Prompt: Public Figures & the AI LieWhat public figure do you disagree with the most? I haven’t answered one of these prompts in a while. Mostly because they’re usually unanswerable questions, i.e., things not worth talking about, or things I don’t feel like answering. Today’s prompt is all about public figures, and who I might most...

Neo Machina [01]: From the DredgesI've decided to start this kind of chronicle. Not really "news articles," or a magazine, but since I am now, once again, running the city Neo Machina in Second Life, and at a rate that is more affordable, I think it'd be neat to write about it. To write about...

Hello, Dexter Morgan: The Show that Came, Went, and Came Back AgainMajor spoilers ahead for both Dexter and Dexter: New Blood, for those who still haven't watched either of them.

Anti-Social Media: Corporations Just Don’t Get itI keep trying to like Threads. I know, I know, this is a massively unpopular thing to do on the fediverse, but I tend not to do what other people want me to do until I've come to concrete decisions and ideas on my own, through my own experience. There's...
