Kiwis vs Aussies
FROT
Bleeding Aussie Roo Shaggers As a Kiwi, sometimes I am horrified to be mistaken for an Aussie. Usually by Americans. So now I’m going to explain some key differences between Kiwis and Aussies. People in other countries often assume that because we are neighbours, we are just like each other, and great mates as well. […]
BLOCKCHAINS WERE A TOTAL BALLS UP REALLY WEREN’T THEY?
FROT
It’s hard to believe how optimistic we all were starting out on the Steemit blockchain nearly seven years ago… But none of them have really worked out very well, Steemit, Hive, ProofOfBrain, VerifyYourBrain, Flote, Bastyon, Blurt. Turns out we all got conned a bit, LOL… https://peakd.com/blockchains/@frot/blockchains-were-a-big-fuck-up-really-werent-they https://steemit.com/@sift666 https://steemit.com/@frot https://peakd.com/@sift666 https://peakd.com/@frot https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/@sift666 https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/@frot […]
WHAT IS FACEBOOK UP TO NOW?
FROT
For the past eight or so years Facebook has been hiding my posts, and putting 30 day bans on my accounts. In order to use the platform at all I had to use three different accounts and rotate them as they were banned. And for at least the past three years my URL www.frot.co.nz was […]
SEVEN DAYS IN THE DOGBOX
FROT
Like most people who have been on the internet since the dawn of time, I have set up accounts on every social media platform known to man (or more accurately, known to AI bots) and over the years have come to see the shortcomings in every one of them. Once, for about a year I […]
BLOGGING IN 2023
FROT
The festive season is always a good time to have a think about things. And the time is more ripe than usual for contemplating life the universe and everything. And blogging too. Over the past few weeks I’ve read thousands of pages of research, and swallowed so many red pills I’m probably in danger of […]
THE TOSSER
FROT
Is it possible to do a blog post by tossing a coin? This was an idea for a blog post that I wrote down ages ago – It was a strange experiment… Sometimes I find my notes and ideas and end up reading them and wondering if I am a complete fruitloop. TOSSPOST HEADS I start […]
AM I BEING STALKED BY A BOT?
FROT
Before going any further I just want to make it clear that this post is not satirical and I am convinced every word of this is true. About five years ago on Steemit there used to be hundreds of unbelievably lame comments on many of the posts. Many of them were long and complex with […]
BLURT IS LIKE A SMALL COUNTRY TOWN WITH A DARK SECRET
FROT
OK, I’ve been putting a sock in it for the past few months, but today is Sunday here in the first place in the world, so it’s about time I mouthed off a bit… One of the charms of Blurt was that it was like a friendly happy little village where everyone said “Hi” in […]
WHY BLOG POSTS NEED BOTH WORDS AND IMAGES
FROT
I originally wrote this as a reply to a native German reader, who commented on one of my posts, but after reading back over it, I thought it would make a good blog post. (this picture of a purple NPC – Non Playable Character – is just here to illustrate the point that even the […]
STEEMING WITH HINDSIGHT
FROT
This is a post about Steemit that I originally wrote back around 2019 but never published in it’s entirety. I still think Jeff Berwick is really entertaining and 90% of what he says is exactly what I’m thinking too. I’m actually a subscriber to his newsletter, and often watch his podcasts. But there is possibly […]
