This week's fediverse news comes with an essay on what the fediverse can take from Bluesky's proposal to add User Intents. The fediverse can do better than Bluesky by focusing on what makes the network unique: many different communities, each with their own values and culture.

ah thanks for the feedback! Deep Research is a new mode of ChatGPT, so when I say ChatGPT here I meant ChatGPT's Deep Research mode, and specifically the output as made used by Casey Newton's article.

I was unsure on whether I should keep calling it Deep Research or just call it ChatGPT, but good to know I should have indicated this more clearly.
