@typhlosion How to make someone tea: boba is you.

@typhlosion To reduce this further: my take is that Bsky is better for presentations and Masto is better for discussion.

We do need a notification layer that's pubsub to fill the gap, since we're missing that after Google destroyed RSS and corporations tried turning the web into five websites. But maybe there are better ways of doing that than continuing to use single websites for that purpose.

Irony is, I still use RSS for this from sites that support it, and it's great when it still works.

@typhlosion Bsky feels like the "bite-sized PowerPoint presentations that do numbers" slice of Twitter, and I find that very hard to have discussions around. Which I guess works better for folks that want a lot of followers but not a lot of support or discussion, which is part of many communities.

But yeah, moderation concerns aside, it's reductive and hard for me to really engage with. Nice maybe if folks start using it for notifications I guess, but that also makes me really miss RSS.

@CoyoteTraveller @Kyresti This. Even vague support from management and more than a casual fuck thrown our way has meant the difference between sleeping at night at all and some of the worst mental health, period.

At its best, I feel vaguely insecure but stable. Worst (two separate occasions), I was constantly on-call and had a manager that gaslit me and coworkers to leave and doubt ourselves for years.

To summarize: people make a big difference.
