1:35:12 Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning to all ships and seamen boots on the ground and feet in the air and subs in the water and all the names of knights out there. And on the big end of morning to the trolls! In the troll room hey trolls how are ya doing? Hands up let me count we have low 1980 trolls are leaving us in droves Hmm, 1980 trolls are in the troll room. We could use more all you need what is a Thursday? So getting close to 2000 is actually not all that bad and now people have been cut loose so there be lot of them are actually Indeed, at work. Yes! Trolling... Instead of just sitting around at home having to listen to the No Agenda show. That is true especially in these states where we're opening up again. 19's not bad when you start normal numbers. 17 and 16. I remember when it was less than a thousand. Well
1:36:04 Any, any. When you're just starting off you're always gonna have... You know? Well we appreciate all the trolls that sit there do a number of things they give me one-liners which sometimes are hilarious and I always take my own credit You take full credit. I like that. It's good to see a damn professional. Yeah, it's like the pros do it! Have someone else write the lines and you take credit for is beautiful But it said it's a good place to hang out You can meet people if even in mind and his technical answer or question Or just want to sit around list to one of our many live shows because this is a chat room and a livestream at The same time many of the shows are live If not your hearing something simultaneously you can go hang out troll away And while you're at it
1:36:41 Go ahead and ask for an invite to noagendasocial.com, which is our federated social media network Before we go any further I wanted to discuss something with you about No Agenda Social John With the knowledge that or my own theory that the public square idea is bullcrap that doesn't work, so Twitter can't be the digital town square. What did people used to go to the town square for mainly back in the olden days? To have coffee No! Well yeah they'd go there to have coffee but if if the whole city or the whole town the whole village came together at the Town Square what was the main reason? Get drunk Watch someone get hung
1:37:29 Oh, there's a little element to that. I thought it was mostly to meet people Well yeah you can meet people while someone's hanging well some is getting hot Yes exactly so that's the same thing that goes on on social networks at a certain point It's just this is very very unique point well and here's where I'm taking that knowing where you're going Okay You'll see if if you're right Knowing that at a certain point the scale is a problem, that's why I like Mastodon because you can have other people with other groups. And a good way to identify groups that you belong to is through the podcast you listen to. So people listened to Noah Jende, they may listen to Ben Shapiro, they may listen to Jordan Peterson, they may listen to The Pool Guy...
1:38:15 You can identify, and I'm sure that there's a different discussion wherever they're taking it that Tim Pool has in a different discussion where Jen Briney looks at things. Now if everyone had a Mastodon server you can still see what the others are doing without necessarily being a part of their timeline and this is what i like about the federated part And I'm considering, now that we're nearing 9000 members on noagendasocial.com, I'm considering closing it at 10,000 and then but leaving Federation open so you can have another No Agenda related
1:38:52 server or anyone else who wants to go somewhere else and you can federate with us, and you can still be in the conversation. But I think we're nearing a point just looking at the number of people who are ratting on each other and reporting not that anything will ever happen with you doing it because i won't. I think it's time to shut it down at 10K what do you think? So let me summarize what you're saying. You're saying that the no agenda social is becoming such a pain in the ass and overhead is so high... No, it's not what I'm saying! ...and getting so annoying... Nope, that's not what I'm saying at all. That you could shut it down? That was what I'm hearing. I know, that's why I am countering you. What I'm saying is when you have too many people in the town square, it always starts to suck
1:39:39 So to circumvent that, you can have your own server and you can argue with your own people and your own friends. And they could be NOAA General listeners! You can federate and jump in right of conversations but we can't have 20-30-40 thousand people on the same timeline it will just suck I know it will well yeah you're probably right okay uh that it will start sucking Well, here's the question that I'd have. You hit 10,000 and we're closed? Yeah And it'll have a link It's like... Now if somebody quits can you... Can somebody take their place
1:40:18 Yeah, I guess we could do that. It's an arbitrary thing i'm stating here but i'm very worried that it's so beautiful now and i'm already seeing... you know, Ehrener who is running this he made up a page since he's running on his infrastructure of legalese Now its very funny and he's well written then he's covering his ass the fact that he has to do that tells me enough So how about this friend? How about this for another idea mm-hmm shut it down tomorrow Let's de platform our own audience that would be very radical No, I don't stop or just stop all newcomers as of tomorrow. All right We'll have a meeting yeah the but I know it works because no agenda podcast index dot social
