#Schadenfreude ist bekanntlich am vergnüglichsten. Zu sehen, wie alle #Streaming Abhängige kontinuierlich immer kräftiger zur Kasse gebeten werden, freut mich diebisch.
Besonders #Netflix Nutzende, die schon wieder mit einer Preiserhöhung konfrontiert werden. Aber wer diese nichtsnutzigen Schmarotzer-Dienste fördert, kann gar nicht genug dafür bestraft werden. Hoffentlich schmerzt es ordentlich.

CW: USPol - Milo Yiannopoulos detained
It's schadenfreude Sunday. Far-right boofhead Milo Yiannopoulos has already been deported back to Blighty.
While that's bad news for Britain, it's great to see this slimy slug of a man being hoisted by his own petard.

@tomjennings I'm with you, mostly. We could talk about it all we want but it's not going away.
But I get a certain pleasure out of reading articles that point out its shortcoming and how hackers made developers look bad. #schadenfreude

Gestern seit langem endlich mal wieder einen #Spieleabend vollzogen 💪
Bei den falschen Schlangen haben die 🐍 irgendwie immer verloren. Unbalanced oder no Skill? 🤷♂️🤔
Colt Express kam mitunter am besten bei den Gästen an.

Stevens' response is so spectacularly superficial that sharing it almost feels unethical... almost. #Schadenfreude

I know we're all tired and frustrated waiting for Trump to die.
It helps me to remember that Republican electeds feel the same, ditto with knobs on. With every day he is alive, their hopes fade for reversing course on all his most damaging policies (without them doing anything brave, obviously). They all bought the ticket and are not enjoying the ride.

That IPO was a chance to get in on the ground floor of a stock that will take ten years plus to represent a profitable company. Some will likely make a lot of money in the end, but I'm not willing to tie up my money that long on a spec stock that won't make any money for at least that long.

I am not going to watch, I just hope Spain wins, and I have bought some yarn from the Falklands.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, died of a brief and sudden illness":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUZEtVbJT5c
Immediately after the #January6th attack on the Capitol, Sen. Lindsey Graham wisely condemned Donald Trump's role in the attack, saying:"Count me out. Enough is enough" before he surrendered to Trump and he again continued to support whatever Trump did:

Jajaja, ich weiss... #Schadenfreude als Tugend der Boshaften zu bezeichnen und so... aber wisst ihr was? Es ist mir so wumpe!
Nicht nur dass, sondern wie die #USA gestern gegen #Belgien verloren hat. Ich habs genossen und dabei muesste man sich eigentlich immer noch ueber die "Leistungen" des deutschen Teams in Grund und Boden schaemen!

BlueSky’s Solution To Moderating Is Moderating Without Moderating via Social Proximity
I have noticed a lot of people are confused about why some posts don’t show up on threads, though they are not labeled by the moderation layer. Bluesky has begun using what it calls social neighborhoods (or network proximity) as a ranking signal for replies in threads. Replies from people who are closer to you in the social graph, accounts you follow, interact with, or share mutual connections with, are prioritized and shown more prominently. Replies from accounts that are farther away in that network are down-ranked. They are pushed far down the thread or placed behind “hidden replies.”
Each person gets their own unique view of a thread based on their social graph. It creates the impression that replies from distant users simply don’t exist. This is true even though they’re still technically public and viewable if you expand the thread or adjust filters. Bluesky is explicitly using features of subgraphs to moderate without moderating. Their reasoning is that if you can’t see each other, you can’t harass each other. Ergo, there is nothing to moderate.
Bluesky mentions that here:
https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-31-2025-building-healthier-social-media-update
As a digression, I’m not going to lie: I really enjoyed working on software built on the AT protocol, but their fucking users are so goddamn weird. It’s sort of like enjoying building houses, but hating every single person who moves into them. But, you don’t have to deal with them because you’re just the contractor. That is how I feel about Bluesky. I hate the people. I really like the protocol and infrastructure.
I sort of am a sadist who does enjoy drama, so I do get schadenfreude from people with social media addictions and parasocial fixations who reply to random people on Bluesky, because they don’t realize their replies are disconnected from the author’s thread unless that person is within their network. They aren’t part of the conversation they think they are. They’re algorithmically isolated from everyone else. Their replies aren’t viewable from the author’s thread because of how Bluesky handles social neighborhoods.
Bluesky’s idea of social neighborhoods is about grouping users into overlapping clusters based on real interaction patterns rather than just the follow graph. Unlike Twitter, it does not treat the network as one big public square. Instead, it models networks of “social neighborhoods” made up of people you follow, people who follow you, people you frequently interact with, and people who are closely connected to those groups. They’re soft, probabilistic groupings rather than strict labels.
Everyone does not see the same replies. Bluesky is being a bit vague with “hidden.” Hidden means your reply is still anchored to the thread and can be expanded. There is another way Bluesky can handle this. Bluesky uses social neighborhoods to judge contextual relevance. Replies from people inside or near your social neighborhood are more likely to be shown inline with a thread, expanded by default, or served in feeds. Replies from outside your neighborhood are still public and still indexed, but they’re treated as lower-context contributions.
Basically, if you reply to a thread, you will see it anchored to the conversation, and everyone will see it in search results, as a hashtag, or from your profile, but it will not be accessible via the thread of the person you were replying to. It is like shadow-banning people from threads unless they are strongly networked.
Because people have not been working with the AT Protocol like I have, they assume they are shadow-banned across the entire Bluesky app view. No—everyone is automatically shadow-banned from everyone else unless they are within the same social neighborhood. In other words, you are not part of the conversation you think you are joining because you are not part of their social group.
Your replies will appear in profiles, hashtag feeds, or search results without being visually anchored to the full thread. Discovery impressions are neighborhood-agnostic: they serve content because it matches a query, tag, or activity stream. Once the reply is shown, the app then decides whether it’s worth pulling in the rest of the conversation for you. If the original author and most participants fall outside your neighborhood, Bluesky often chooses not to expand that context automatically.
Bluesky really is trying to avoid having to moderate, so this is their solution. Instead of banning or issuing takedown labels to DIDs, the system lets replies exist everywhere, but not in that particular instance of the thread.
I find this ironic because a large reason why many people are staying on Bluesky and not moving to the fediverse—thank God, because I do not want them there—is discoverability, virality, and engagement.
In case anyone is asking how I know so much about how these algorithms work: I was a consultant on a lot of these types of algorithms, so I certainly hope I’d know how they work, lol. No, you get no more details about the work I’ve done. I have no hand in the algorithm Bluesky is using, but I have proposed and implemented that type of algorithm before.
I have an interest in noetics and the noosphere. A large amount of my ontological work is an extension of my attempts to model domains that have no spatial or temporal coordinates. The question is how do you generalize a metric space that has no physically, spatial properties. I went to school to try to formalize those ideas. Turns out they’re rather useful for digital social networks, too. The ontological analog to spatial distance, when you have no space, is a graph of similarities.

Grâce à René Descartes, "le péril de la folie a disparu de l'exercice même de la Raison. Celle-ci est retranchée dans une pleine possession de soi où elle ne peut rencontrer d'autres pièges que l'erreur, d'autres dangers que l'illusion. Le doute de Descartes […] bannit la folie au nom de celui qui doute […]
Désormais la folie est exilée."Michel #Foucault in "Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique"

Why rejoice in the misfortune of others
One way to feel my social status improving is if someone else lowers theirs. And so, when I see someone mess up in ways that cause them to lose face, and thus lose social status, I can feel a burst of satisfaction as my own status is raised, at no cost to me.

Pourquoi se réjouir du malheur d'autrui
L'une des façons de sentir que mon statut social s'améliore est que quelqu'un d'autre abaisse le sien. Ainsi, lorsque je vois quelqu'un commettre des erreurs qui lui font perdre la face, et donc son statut social, je peux ressentir un élan de satisfaction en voyant mon propre statut s'améliorer, sans qu'il m'en coûte quoi que ce soit.

"Il s'avère qu'en fait, la plupart des gens sont mal à l'aise face à la différence et le sont encore plus quand on le leur fait remarquer."
"Des études ont montré que les enfants commencent à remarquer et à punir les traits autistiques dès leur plus jeune âge. Les êtres humains renforcent les normes sociales en blessant les personnes qui les enfreignent".
