@prologic@twtxt.net you mentioned in a memo earlier how you said “boring microblogging” about yarn, well, hopefully I’m allowed to help prevent the “boring” part. If I like something I tend to really like it, so, and I’m curious how exactly this is federating. Any hints mate?

@chunkimo@twtxt.net By all means! 🙏 What I meant by “boring” is we (as a community) aren’t really interested in emulating anything like Twitter/Mastodon/etc A lot of the principles of what we’ve built are laid out in [About Yarn.social[(https://yarn.social/about.html)

@prologic@twtxt.net Boring is the best thing about here

@shreyan@twtxt.net Yeah I agree, sadly though I’ve kind of learned (the hard way) that you cannot really have genuine open and honest discussions that even are even a wee bit touchy or controversial on any medium, not even in real life. The interactions between myself and a few others over the past few days makes me very sad, sad to the point where I genuinely think that building Yarn.social was a waste of time, because fundamentally it can never promote free speech, free ideas and good discussions. Why? Because we (as humans) are not capable of this. 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah. While I strongly dislike Jordan Peterson et al I would like to someday discuss some of these controversial things with you and others while not getting too heated.

@shreyan@mstdn.social That would be nice 👌
