Threads seems like it was designed by people who want me to be angry. Bluesky seems like it was designed by people who want me to be happy. I notice I stay on threads longer, often thinking “people can’t possibly believe this nonsense,” and I notice that I’m angry after using it for some time. I stay on Bluesky for much shorter periods, and I often feel peaceful (even bordering on bored) after a session.

I use these threads as meditiation: have a deeper understanding of how people different from me think and accepting that it's part of the world. Nowdays I'm much more scared than angry about socialist thinking getting us all closer to WW3 though.

I would love if you elaborated on that

The meaning, clear by original context, of the author, head at instagram, would be "web data [as opposed to [total user web &] app usage data]". Which matches closer to what he's responsible for in parallel.

But, continuing technical distinctions outside of original context, in web jargon, web would be HTML served over HTTP (preferably even on www subdomains), and, by my single-utterance litmus test: "browser-viewable". These apps do make content available over/on the web, but having the distinction available seems worthwhile, web traffic versus app traffic. Many apps don't. Some of the content is meaningfully "not on the web" by the same common sense appeal.

I would love even more if the op would give us their definition of socialism. Because, to me, it means wanting to help others and make the world a better place. I expect op and I will disagree on that, given that we on the actual Left (not centrist libs) are deeply opposed to war, hence making the comment out of place (again, to me).

We can all agree of helping others, making the world a better place and being deeply opposed to war being important values. The hard part where it's important / interesting to discuss is what achieves it the best and what takes precedent over what.

I loved listening to Lex Friedman's imterview with Javier Milei as he was describing how Argentina went to a state of almost hyperinflation by the government helping every poor person with overtacation and overregulation.

I believe that the main reason for wars (and the only way it can be achieved) is money printing (elespecially creating bonds).

Most people from US would never agree in sending money to Ukraine (or at least not everybody) if the amout was explicitly written out on their tax statement. Also I believe the governments shouldn't take money away from people to redistribute how they want (just the minimal amout that they need for keeping up a working society).
