#Bluesky, a decentralised social network, is experiencing a #decline in #activeusers despite its initial post-election surge. While the company is shifting focus from the app to the underlying protocol (AT Proto), which powers other social apps and services, the decline in app usage suggests a challenge in retaining users. Meanwhile, #Threads, a Meta-owned app, is seeing significant growth in daily active users and website visits. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/11/blueskys-active-user-base-is-shrinking-as-its-focus-expands-beyond-the-app/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

The decline in people’s ability to judge #quality isn’t just getting #worse in #politics , it’s happening in consumer #markets too. If you had the impression that #goods are much worse than they used to be, you are factually right! In both, politics and goods manufacturing many are exploiting this cognitive #decline. Exploring the reasons would be interesting; I strongly suspect #socialmedia manipulation is a major driver. #CriticalThinking https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/10/consumed-consumer-goods-quality

A quotation from Francis Bacon

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher, scientist, author, statesman
Essay (1625 ed.), “Of Youth and Age”

Of course, you can be against AI music. It’s just that it’s hardly news that real musicians are being brazenly ripped off.
What would help more than hating AI would be to delete Spotify and Bandcamp. They’re the real villains.

A quotation from Molly Ivins

Things are not getting worse; things have always been this bad. Nothing is more consoling than the long perspective of history. It will perk you up no end to go back and read the works of progressives past. You will learn therein that things back then were also terrible, and what’s more, they were always getting worse. This is most inspiriting.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1986-03), “How to Survive Reagan,” The Progressive, Vol. 50, No. 3

Decline is not collapse.
It is the irreversible loss of relational coherence—the moment when the empire can no longer align its people, elites, and institutions around a shared purpose. #decline #history #empire
