Respectively, if I follow back a Mastodon user from the Pixelfed account, I won't interact with them as well as I would from my Mastodon account. So that's what bugs me. I feel like we're missing #affordances to better experience the different services across the Fediverse.

Marco Treven on why psychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's involve circuits that go beyond the brain. If so, how can active inference help illuminate these feedback relationships?

Today in #affordances

Via @tchambers

I started a #zotero group library focused on research about #activitypub, #decentralization, #affordances, Mastodon, migration, #moderation, and #newcomers.

Here it’s important to differentiate constraints (made explicit by 4E interactions with the environment) from #affordances.

The former are retrospective the latter are prospective.

The former can be approximated in retrospect using the mentioned designed external objective function while the latter are afforded by the organism’s semantically closed internals in a way science doesn’t understand yet.

Understanding affordances in terms of #semiosis would be a start

The perils of every new social platform...

Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)

@gilduran Sorry. That stinks.
If the #MechanismDesign (#algorithms and #UI #affordances) continues to support normal #prosocial human instincts, it might be stable for many many years. It's worked for Wikipedia, StackExchange. #Fedies survived several growth spurts over the past 5 yr. Even survived a hostile takeover attempt by Truth.Social. Even if some developers and #admins lose #noncommercial, #human-centric focus, other supercooperators step in and fedi-up

I am highly entertained by the fact that for the ōura ring ‘i share my bed with someone’ is a problem / issue #affordances

Just noticed the little calendar by my desk is 2019. #Affordances

Deadline end of February 2023 for this #CallForPapers on #Affordances exploring types of affordances (social, affective, cognitive, and mental affordances) and applications of affordances to various debates https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/philosophical-psychology-mind/ The special issue will be edited by Pablo Lopez Silva and Marta Jorba. @philosophy @philosophyofmind @philosophyofscience @psychology

People are building tools to make the life of BirdSite immigrants easier, implementing features in Mastodon clients that increase familiarity.

I would like to invite them to read @nvraemdonck who proposes a ‘conceptual #framework for the mutual shaping of #platform features, #affordances and #norms on social #media’

https://researchportal.vub.be/en/publications/a-conceptual-framework-for-the-mutual-shaping-of-platform-feature

I think #SystemsTheory (#SystemsThinking and #SystemsDynamics ) with #Attractors and #Affordances gives us a good path to #Ought from #Is. The #ontological reality of the #system you are in defines the #moral landscape on which you operate.

Great #mastodon #client with pretty smart #implementation, @pinafore !

Giving control over the inclusion of features that influence #affordances and calling it #Wellness

I really miss the ability to boost a toot with my endorsement. Yeah, I know that I can include a URL to the toot, but that's pretty clunky and hides the content.

The alignment following #JJGibson on #Affordances and #GregoryBateson on ecological epistemology by #TimIngold, I've found more productive than #BrunoLatour on ANT, @camerontw

There's a whimsical chapter on "When ANT meets SPIDER: Social Theory for Arthropods" in _Being Alive_ (2011)

#Priorities…
I just made my way in in #Post and was rewarded so I could unlock #Premium Stuff . Not the best way to start.
Bèta testing #Mammoth. Please don’t mimic BirdSite’s ugly #affordances.
#Pinafore is great. Too bad iOS doesn’t include it in #sharing menu yet. That’s what #MetaText is for.
#Birdsite will disappear soon. #LinkedIn is to fun of all those Important Inspirational Bizznizz folk ‘looking for challenges’ which I’m happy to present: I do reply, asking wtf they actually mean.

Using the learned #attention to learn a policy over the pre-trained options in order to solve a downstream task, we observe that the agent with #affordances consistently outperforms the other agents. #NeurIPS2022 #Longhorizonsparserewards
