Some good titles in this batch. Started playing Lightyear Frontier last night.

Repealing Section 230 would actually have the opposite effect, and lead to less moderation as it would incentivize not knowing about the content in the first place.

Sadly it has been more than 12 years we've been waiting for the next book. 🙁

IMO this is a wild recommendation to give to someone that doesn't do a lot of reading.

Looks interesting, but of course we all want to see more.

I feel the need to be pedantic here: the first amendment has nothing to do with speech on private platforms.

It's a sandbox. My prediction is that it could be fun for up to an hour.

... I feel like you can do this with the Mastodon admin already. Preferences > Administration > Custom Emojis. Enter in the domain whose emojis you want to see / get, search. Click the "select all" checkbox at the top, copy. If there are multiple pages, go to the additional pages.

Here is an explainer on architecture. It might be helpful. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/5-5-2023-federation-architecture

Seems like there is a lot of people in this thread that are confused about BlueSky federating even means. BlueSky's plans for federation have nothing to do with the fediverse. It's about enabling federation with other AT protocol services, including self-hosting a personal data server.

I would like to see some sort of bridge built to allow communication between AT protocol services and ActivityPub protocol services.

I wouldn't say it is "packed with action" but I have to recommend the Revelation Spaces series by Alastair Reynolds, just because I think more people should be reading these.
