Like, download Watch Duty and get results there. If not, have at it, man. Have it on the internet and hope it makes you better. I feel bad for him, honestly, you know? I have experienced this before. But the way I want to do it is to build Watch Duty, not by shouting it into the ether. We all have coping mechanisms. Some are productive and some are not.Screenshot: Courtesy of Watch Duty Do you think that if people can get more information about what’s going on in the field it will help them be smarter about what they say online? Or will all that shitposting still happen?I don’t know, man. I wish I had a good answer that I could play into your question, but I just don’t really, like, care about them. It just became uninteresting. People are still running away from the fire. And that’s the most important thing. I don’t need an armchair reporter right now. There are great journalists who are not on Watch Duty, like many people who are out there providing information to the public in X, which is great. I’m glad they did. I wish they had a better platform. There are still great people on social media, but unfortunately you have to filter out the Bitcoin porn and other random stuff that is being suppressed by Chinese bots these days. So what’s next? How did Watch Duty approach the next few days of this fire, and then the fire spread? Now, we are being oppressed again and again. When I’m in that mode, we don’t make strategic plans. We are extraordinarily tactical. We focus on what’s ahead, like firefighters. That’s what we’re doing right now, keeping our servers online, keeping our engineers going, keeping us going because we’re experiencing three-order-of-magnitude explosive growth. Then journalists also need sleep, need to talk, need help. And it’s really just “get over this,” people. Tonight is going to be another windy event. We are far from done and tonight is going to be another goddamn bad. What about long-term? What is the future of how people use Watch Duty? I can talk about the long term because I have thought about it. We really think a lot about other catastrophic events at Watch Duty. We are currently actively developing it. We’re working on making sure we can do the same thing we did in LA for the next Hurricane Helene. Because the flood is dangerous. People don’t have enough warning, they don’t understand. And there is good data that is not brought to the masses. We want to be the voice of reason during this very difficult time. So that’s next for us as we get through this crap. Beats sat there in despair. Yes. I have to be constructive, you know?
