I've already pointed out that Brendan Carr has made it clear that he will be the most censorial FCC chair in history. And he will do it while wrapping himself in the false flag of free speech. And the media will repeat that claim as if it's accurate. RE:

This is ominous: the weaponization of the federal government via the FCC has begun. Trump FCC Chair #BrendanCarr wielding the power of *our* FCC (...

Went to go find something on ExTwitter for a story I'm writing and came across this hilarious bit of anti-fan fiction about Bluesky that Elon retweeted. It's all hilarious nonsense, but my favorite bit: "there is neither the interrogation of grand ideas nor the exploration of great questions." https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreibrn7ajqry2tcnnlccj5qyy3nf3sz75x7d7cwbrciuwe7ivau5dce
Interesting idea to think about. Could there be an e-commerce protocol that gives more power to small sellers as opposed to having it all be controlled by large marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy. RE:

@mmasnick.bsky.social I wrote about an ecommerce protocol in more detail on my substack. I would really appreciate it if you could pass it along to...
This is the key point I keep raising and people keep getting mad at me about. We live in a free society. And yes, that means that people get to try to influence and manipulate others and we don't let the gov't stop it. So many people are so eager to throw out those freedoms because of a moral panic. RE:

yeah there's probably a lot of manipulative propaganda on TikTok.....and? πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
US government claiming there's no First Amendment issue at all in banning TikTok is, well, a choice.

That one weird trick that lets you pretend that you took over Twitter to restore free speech, but regularly ban/shadowban/deboost those you don't like: just claim anything you don't like is spam. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreigv3krnqdkrezdzsxeczc3ilblx7j2lk54wiguvcvbrar5xn6goq4
Nate Silver says you would have to pay him "millions of dollars per year to be an active Bluesky member" while talking about how everyone mocks him on ExTwitter, but he's cool with it. He calls Bluesky "the worst party in the world." He makes a lot of very wrong assumptions about folks here. RE:

Listened to this podcast yesterday. They talked about Bluesky. They’re clueless on this and other topics. Not sure why I listen to it. https://p...
Wait. So if you're on Threads and enable fediverse sharing, and then also use [@ap.brid.gy](

Bridgy Fed is a bridge between decentralized social networks like the fediverse, Bluesky, and web sites and blogs.

Nice, I just noticed that @bsky.brid.gy is also working for @threads users. As an example, Bluesky users can see posts from @0xjessel

Sending another reminder on this. We're still short of meeting the Kickstarter threshold and only have two weeks left. And hey, we would really like to actually produce this game... So if you haven't checked it out yet, please do! It's such a fun game. RE:
