I hope I am not adding to the problem here as well. It seems that obviously Bluesky is neither fully centralized nor fully decentralized. Is there a statement about just how much of either it is?
Although that might be complicated - like someone could say that Lemmy is fairly centralized, bc if you block Lemmy.World then you lose half the users and perhaps half the communities (and PieFed even more so, with PieFed.social representing an even higher fraction of users and communities on it).
So there is a distinction between Bluesky the service as it currently is implemented and Bluesky the protocol, the former of which is fairly centralized but the latter is more expandable?
Normal human ways of thinking go like: however you do it, so long as the job gets done it's fine! ☺️
PM thinking: even if nothing ever gets done, so long as I collect a salary we continue to have 3 hours of meetings most days every week, it's all good! 🤔🤯
Also, afaik, the conflict between the PO and PM roles is somehow literally the point? You get blamed if the tasks don't get done, while the PM ensures that endless reports get generated - I doubt the vast most of which are ever read, and I know that I for one can never find one of those later, in part bc there are so many of them and they encompass everything else into them as well (Jira tickets, Slack messages, hundreds of emails per day mostly saying "this Jira ticket or that Confluence page has been edited", the former of which for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off!).
So... not only I but we all feel your pain! Otoh, that seems one of the first job roles that will soon be replaced by AI?
Woah there buddy, you can't just jump straight into the (non-)solution like that! You skipped the planning refinement! And the planning pre-refinement! And the pre-planning pre-refinement! And we'll still discuss all of this in the post-planning refinement!
(Yes, every one of these are real, distinct meetings, lasting at minimum one hour but sometimes two or more. EVERY WEEK. Kill me now please? 🥺)
2+2=3 is too small, i.e. wrong in the direction of being too small
2+2=5 is too wrong in the direction of being too large
Likewise, optimism is wrong in being too hopeful, pessimism is wrong in being too fearful.
What you said though is that:
Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society
So being wrong is a vital component of being right? It is an issue with the phrasing. It is not "pessimism" that is necessary, but a willingness to look at the things that may cause us fear - though your phrasing indicated that pessimism itself was the necessary component, which is what I disagreed with.
I would argue that pessimism, like optimism, is too hobbled by an inability to see clearly the arguments of the other side. Realism seems a better way to go, and if that happens to look bleak then well, that still does not make it actual pessimism.
It kinda does though. i.e. form your own community, put in the effort to keep it neat and tidy and make it how you like it, and then fend off people who want to come in and shit all over your parade without bothering to follow or likely even read the rules.
The very fact that you desire to post something to someone else's community in the first place is evidence of how much more their opinion should matter, by virtue of their hard work put into it. No we are not all the same at all.
That is not a trailer, and those are not cubes. According to René Magritte's Treachery of images, this is just a picture. You can't fool me, memer person! 🤪
