The BB Edit and Fetch icons will be forever embedded in my heart

That works with a lot of Buddhist teachings (from lojong, to tonglen to “feeding the demons’) and the psychotherapeutic modes in shadow work, gestalt, “changing chairs”). There is something very powerful about giving the “demons” what they want, or facing them and giving the younger version the adult presence. I always marvel how a small bit of technique can upgrade a mind so it’s hard to act in (never really be bothered again by) the old ways.

Sounds like a job for an agent, “keep an eye on posts and assess against guidelines”.

I get that you might not want to repeat the many missteps of Social Media 1.0. And adding a ‘report’/‘block’ feature might feel like the beginning of a road nobody here (your friends and extended friends) wants to travel.

I’m guessing any moderation would be at the app level as the ultimate source of truth is what’s in the various RSS feeds? So… a block is not a block if someone can find it on the .rss? Although people can edit anytime, right?

So many cans, so many many worms.

I’m sad the feeds don’t work, iPad OS Safari doesn’t like non secure urls

Aside from the email going to spam signup was delightfully swift. This project is interesting to me because I’ve been craving RSS, Newsnet, text-interfaces, terminals and Lynx. I miss the engagement that text has, and hate the distractions of pop-ups and pictures and suggestions to distract from actual content. Thank you for making a demo I can join and test, I’d love to roll something of my own soon.
