and that stuck with me and is really resonating, i want to reexamine all my projects with that in mind,

who coined this?

back when i was on hellsite i'd see neighbors engaging in this bewildering alien behavior of complaining to their tl that their follower count had recently decreased

we don't do that here right? if i unfollow you, you're not gonna notice your numbers change and feel all bad about it right? you don't actually carry around in your brain today's follower count right?

(especially ridiculous on birdsite where most of your friends are corporations, sockpuppets, and bots)

square is pulling a facebook and changing its name to "block" as in "blockchain"

also its changing the name of its cryptocurrency thing to "spiral"

also did not know until today that twitter ex ceo jack is ceo of square and total cryptobro

ok time to stuff the cotton back in my ears and pretend none of this shit exists
