I'm building ReplyGuard to filter bots, rude replies, and AI slop from my X mentions so I can actually talk to real people. It's in a small paid beta at $7/month. DM me if you want early access.

@SamaHoole Complicated way to say, "Eat local from a farmer or grow it yourself!"

@JeniusJordan There's certainly something appealing about the idea that local food systems evolved around local climates, soils and seasons rather than global shipping routes.

The "evidence-based Mediterranean diet" is the most profitable work of fiction Harvard ever published. There is no single Mediterranean diet. The sea touches twenty-odd countries that agree on nothing at dinner. What you're sold is one pyramid, drawn in 1993 by an American food charity, the Harvard School of Public Health and the WHO, built specifically to replace the USDA's. A committee in Massachusetts sketched how it imagined a Greek peasant ate, and the world bought the cartoon. And they caught that peasant mid-fast. The foundational data came from Crete around 1960, a population so devoutly Orthodox they fasted 180 to 200 days a year. No meat. No dairy. No eggs. For half the calendar. One of the main dietary surveys ran straight through the 48-day Lenten fast. They recorded Cretans eating about 35 grams of meat a day and called it the Cretan diet. It was Cretan Lent. The pyramid's authors swear the fasting changed nothing. They would. The British Journal of Nutrition later called that same Orthodox fasting cycle a "hidden characteristic" of the Cretan diet the original study never bothered to account for. Then watch what the marketing does to the rest. The whole grains you're ordered to eat sit beside the white bread, white pasta and white rice on every real table from Naples to Valencia. The olive oil poured over everything is pure fat. And airbrushed out of the brochure are the lamb, the fish, the offal, the full-fat sheep and goat cheese, the thick yoghurt, the eggs and the cured pork these people have actually eaten for centuries. So the famed diet of longevity is a 1990s American drawing of a hungry man observing Lent, stretched across a sea no two shores of which eat alike, with the meat and the cheese hidden behind a wall of lettuce. Nobody in the Mediterranean has ever eaten it. That was never the point; the point was the front page.

@CoachDanGo Can we move the fountain of youth to another location? Is that an option?

The fountain of youth can be found in the weight section of your gym.

@TiffanyFong Chalk that one up as a win! This post made my day. People beating the odds and getting healthier? Thats good stuff.

This man quit nicotine because of my posts. If we can do it, you can do it. QUIT NICOTINE, YOU DAMN FOOLS!

@JonBuildsHQ That makes sense. They had to find a way to get rid of bots endlessly spamming products somehow. Other than reddit and X, do you promote anywhere else?

@JeniusJordan I'm just starting off with promoting on Reddit, but it seems like it's not going to be that easy because you'll get banned very quickly if you mention your product in a not-too-subtle way..

What's your biggest win this week? 👇

@DanielSmidstrup Howdy! Built ReplyGuard for myself and now its in paid beta to test the market. Would love to connect!

Hey founders! Looking to connect with "people"!

@JonBuildsHQ Nice! Tools like that are new to me. But I like the direction they take marketing. It seems way more effective than throwing a budget at ad campaigns and praying the algorithm finds the right people. Good stuff! Do you find reddit to be a good place to share your product?

@JeniusJordan I built a Reddit bot to surface relevant threads to promote my product 😌

@JonBuildsHQ Thanks! It feels a little bit like a mis-step rapidly down a flight of stairs, but its been fun! Whats the most exciting thing youve been able to work on this week?

@JeniusJordan Congrats on the new step!

@dark_coderz Everything except Mac. Depends on what im doing! Most of what I do is probably on Windows. Do you prefer one over the other for most of what you do?

What's your current OS? → Windows → Linux → macOS → Android Reply with your answer 👇

@OfficialLoganK Being underestimated is also an advantage over your competition.

to be underestimated is to be free

@foxtomb232 Building ReplyGuard. In paid beta now. It helps you clean bots, ai slop, and unproductive comments out in bulk based on your tolerance levels. I built it for myself. Seeing if theres a market out there for it. What are you building?

I started as a reply guy with 0 followers. Now I’m at 16.1M and guess what? I’m still replying. If you’re building too, drop a reply and let’s connect 🔒💬

@VigilantFox There are theories about the health benefits of nicotine but one thing you can do is search for "2015 Harvard study nicotine is not addictive" They went through 7 million pages of research to come to their conclusion, nicotine isnt addictive.

THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?” DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.” [Theo Von listens closely for the reveal] DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.” THEO VON: “Why?” MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.” THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?” DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”

@GadSaad Sometimes, i require a sign to know what's going on..

I was being sarcastic, Epictetus.

@dark_coderz We both remember when IDEs first came out! They said the same things about IDEs then that they say about AI now. "If you use it, you arent a real dev." Good times.

@JeniusJordan good to know! mine too notepad

Your first code editor says a lot about when you started coding Be honest: Where did you write your first "Hello, World!"? Drop it below 👇

@harjjotsinghh @X All of the above and nothing is automatic. The UI is a wizard that helps you set your tolerance threshold for bots, rude responses, and ai slop. Then it walks you through all your recent replies that are above your threshold. You select the ones you want muted and click next.

This is a real pain, good instinct to build for it. The thing that'll make or break a mute tool is the cost asymmetry on false positives: silently muting a real person who was just blunt feels far worse than letting one bot slip through, so your scoring wants to bias hard toward precision on the mute action, plus a fast "review what got muted / undo" surface so people actually trust it to run on autopilot. Get that loop tight and it becomes a tool others will want too. That kind of iteration is quick when you can ship overnight, which is what Moonshift does: describe the tweak, it builds and deploys while you sleep, code lands in your repo. First run completely free, no cards. moonshift.io. Are you scoring purely on account signals or also on the reply text itself?

I got tired of opening @X and immediately seeing low-quality noise in my mentions. Bots, AI slop, rude first-repliers. It made the whole thing feel like work. So, I built something to score my recent replies and let me mute the junk in bulk before it clutters everything.

@KevinSzabo14 This helped me identify issues with my rollout process for my nee projects. What lessons have you been able to learn?

Learn from failure: 1. Write down what went wrong clearly. 2. Identify one change to improve next time. 3. Share lessons with someone for perspective.

@mypoliticalx @red_chem_lite Lol!!

@JeniusJordan Hey @red_chem_lite you sure you thoroughly checked this guy out. I followed him because you did 😂😆🫠

I have been getting a ton of bot comments lately. Don't argue with them! They will be negative and argue all day just to piss you off without ever really saying anything. They will have under 100 followers and apparently a lot have blue backgrounds.

@itsbraunlich Whats the worst that could happen?

can only be great at 1 thing. so take the risk. go all in.
