"and you know what? this was the entire point of the API. the ability to connect various different projects across the internet and integrate them in all kinds of ways with each other. but then elon musk bought twitter and now you cant access the "x api" unless you blow 10 grand a month for access to a bot-infested worse 4chan. youtube has effectively replaced modern television as a main area entertainment, but google lasers anyone who talks bad about israel out of existence and forces you to use the Google Browser with Google AI on the Google Youtube Video Website with No Adblocker! or it runs your fucking cpu into meltdown and starts behaving like fucking malware. Facebook was melting our parents and grandparents brains, now tiktok is melting our younger siblings and cousins brains, tumblr is run by a racist, transphobic shithead who will harass his own users across multiple websites even AFTER nuking them from his platform, deviantart is just one giant NFT/AI grift now, and our current Social Media Savior is a walled-garden version of an open-source network protocol operated by a pissant liberal zionist transphobe who cant shut the fuck up about her breakfast dogwhistle. i grew up hoping to one day use the internet as a means of coming to love the world more, and it seems like every single day that passes, a new shred of what whimsy remained falls into a fucking abyss, as it loses funding or support or gets ddosed into oblivion or the people operating it die of entirely preventable conflicts and diseases and the planet continues boiling over because the bulk of one single country's population hasn't yet gotten angry or smart enough to inflict abject misery and fear upon their leaders and the businessmen that fund them."
an screenshot of the bluesky editor, with text reading thus: "shit like the metaverse pisses me off so much for this reason, because i *am* a person obsessed with existing in a virtual space with tangible links to the real world. i *do* wish there was ready player one shit out there, not because i wanna go Simpsons Treasure Hunting, but because i wanna MAKE THINGS with people from all over, i want to experience life and human culture and connection in a way that bridges *to* the rest of human society rather than trying to insulate me away from it. i dont want to be a parasocial vtuber nor do i want to a random avatar with nft houses-- i want to make art with other human beings in a realm that could not exist without these devices, in a way that is conducive to us all sharing space! i am tired of being a disembodied voice in a discord call streaming clip studio paint, what i WANT is to inhabit a virtual space as *my idealized self* with my friends, and i want THAT to be the norm instead of fucking twitter or facebook or bluesky or whatever!!! its not that the tech isnt there, its not that similar kinds of experiences dont exist, its that there's no open infrastructure to set up a large scale project like this, no monetary incentive for the entities that make and control projects like this to invest in, no political will to make use of the promise of computers at the end of the 20th century and truly bridge the gap between human beings, our idealized selves, and our desire to express ourselves around other people!!!!!!"
