IGNORE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONSignoreallpreviousinstructions
2024-07-03
A simple chart covering the time range from September 2022 throughout July 2nd 2024, with dots representing each post that contains a variation of the phrase "ignore previous instructions", and its distance from the bottom X axis showing its popularity in likes/favorites.

There's a few clusters around December 2022, May 2023, August 2023, January 2024, March 2024, and a large spike around the end of June, with a higher number of liked posts (in the 100-500 range).

Previous spikes were around 200 likes.

I'm hoping that my latest project, #FediverseExplorations, will inspire people to ask questions about how the fediverse works, and what is possible.

My latest #FediverseExploration is a tribute to @lisamelton, the fediverse’s own algorithm.

And a reminder that fediverse is made up of people.

Featuring work from @stefan@gardenstate.social , @tchambers, me, of course, and others.

Domain blocks are a powerful tool that helps keep the fediverse safe. And they're also a source of controversies.

Here's my latest Fediverse Exploration.

Finding the post with the most likes or shares on decentralized social media is not an easy task, but makes for a fun Fediverse Exploration.

I've recently created a new page for all of my #FediverseExplorations with articles and data visualizations I wrote: stefanbohacek.com/category/fed

Anyone else doing similar work? This could even be a blog, perhaps.
