@dyke.science yes it did!! hello!

there's apparently *another* social media entity called like Nostr or something? and its crypto focused? and that's where dorsey is?

wait, bsky isn't funded by dorsey anymore?

politely urging those on bsky to bridge their account so we can see it over here on mastodon! for bskyers just follow @ap.brid.gy.

and to bridge your masto to bsky just follow @bsky.brid.gy

it ties heavily into my beliefs about world creation - the world building we are always doing to make sense of everything we come into contact with. the connections that transform contact into world creation.

we find ourselves as part of the rhythm of different "forms-of-life" - both "real" and "artificial" - we move between these rhythms. we translate these rhythms with our own machines, our own flows. we become one instrument among many. signs arise through the connections we make, their movements make meaning, as signs pointing to signs. we let their rhythm move us. or it moves us whether or not we let it, more accurately.

i don't know why i continue to return to the idea that every form-of-life produces its own time.

when i was following agamben's work i found a version of this, stated slightly less focused on time. (mostly in The Highest Poverty, but i got there through Tiqqun/Invisible Committee/other Agamben works first, all of which felt like what they were saying could lead to this thought)

but again, i find another version of it in D&G's Anti-Oedipus. the flow (or flux) of machines, all connecting and disconnecting from each other, slicing off from the flow to produce another kind of flow. relational rhythm, from microscopic to macroscopic.

okay wait i have the funniest plan to get a million dollars from elon

i feel like i can't clean it up or bury it or anything either - touching dead crows is a big nono in crow society

found a teeny tiny dead baby crow in front of my house and it makes me so sad

yep! i now officially follow those accounts! it seems to be working well!

@gayfesh.com i do see this! and hopefully you see this in return! from masto seas to blue skies!

it seems to default to "follow request" - i don't know how that's going to get managed. maybe it's a "wait" state so that the system running the commands doesn't get overwhelmed? not sure. still testing.

@gayfesh.com hello tester! i see you!

okay i followed my first accounts via the bsky bridge - we'll see how this goes~

you're supposed to be able to invite users (10 a day i think) to bridge their accounts by DMing @bsky.brid.gy but so far when i've tried those users haven't received a DM...

@nora this is, essentially, why i see self-hosting a masto instance and bridging it to bsky (with bsky.brid.gy) as the best of both worlds. way more moderation control than just having a bsky account. and access to way more niche communities than just having a bsky account.

but, if others are also willing to bridge their accounts, still having access to the feeds of people that don't want to deal with the valleys of masto makes connecting to everyone so easy

one day we'll get legit integration but until then.....
