carynh··on User ban controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality
> Singal is a lot less interesting a subject (aren't we all exhausted of debating Singal at this point) than whether Bluesky is going to be a viable mainstream competitor to Twitter

I 100% agree with you on that part. As for the rest, it seems you and I have a vastly different experience with him and his views. Cheers!

edit: oh yea, I don't know whether you'd be comfortable sharing it here but I'd be fairly curious about that Jesse 101 you wrote for your facebook group. Not to criticize it or anything just to get a better idea of your POV.

> he's one of journalism's answers to the concept of edgelordery

either the term "edgelord" means something very different from what it did 10ish years ago or you have a very misinformed understanding about how timid Jesse approaches online conflict. I haven't seen him initiate any form of edgy engagement in forever .. maybe ever.

I wanted to give you (and the website you linked) the benefit of the doubt since with all the accusations they make there is a link in there. I thought it was sources of Jesse actually doing any of this stuff (which he didn't but I am willing to be proven wrong) .. but no. Those links are all just internal info dumps and almost nothing of the accusations on the page is sourced .. at all.

seconding this.. went to Mera Luna a weekish ago (going there yearly) and in my early 40s I felt like such a child compared to many other festival goers even though it was like my 16th or so time.

> He was a chemist, and he ended up healing all his symptoms with pirenzepine.

As in taking it orally for his SFN? That sounds equally fascinating as it sounds unlikely to me so I'd def love to read a bit more about it!
