#CindyCohn from the @eff was on #TheDailyShow this week. It was really good and she even mentioned @Mastodon. But they disagreed re dealing with corporate social media platform harms. Her concern being to avoid censorship while Jon was arguing that just limiting the algos was not censorship. I […]
The fewer people we have in our lives, the more peaceful & less chaotic our lives would be.
Go for quality rather than quantity.

#TechShowerThoughts:
Graphical interfaces are documentation with buttons.
The web is the documentation layer of the internet. Hyperlinking makes it documentation with buttons. So the web is also the native graphical interface of the net.
Webmail made email the first social layer of the web […]
Meeting minutes from the last Social Web Working Group call, which covered topics like discovery, groups, trust and safety, and more.

Reminder that the fediverse is a "group project" and really does take a […]
Screenshot of the Account Settings page showing my main Surf account on top and my connected Atmosphere and fediverse accounts in two columns below. A brief explanation of each accounts, my profile images, and buttons for disconnecting accounts or making one of the other primary are also included on the page.
Finally took a look at @surf and it's pretty neat!

Okay it offical. I'm annoyed with everything AtProto.
Bluesky might as well be twitter-lite with the lack of decentralization. Espeically with the overall user base being... Well what happens woth you have millions of users. How could have seen that coming.
Northsky apparently has a bunch of […]

An A4 size page with a black and white image of a forest stretched across a hillside. Over the image, text reads: Building Trust in the Open. How Open Social Can Help Journalism Rebuild Community and Trust. Ben Werdmuller. For the Newsmast Foundation, ONA26.
In case you missed it, on Monday, for #ONA26 we launched a brand new white paper, written by @werd.io
It's an in depth look into how open social protocols can help journalism rebuild community and trust. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

The best solution for avoiding being misled by viral #AI slop will be making it easy to figure out who created it. Having usernames with verified domains. As much as possible, it would mean boosting and linking to the original work, not copy and pasting. Everything being #APnative, not […]
A decentralized social media network just won't support the kind of profit that VC funding requires. There will just be too much competition for that.
But it would enable a lot of small, independent and sustainable tech and media businesses doing interesting things that people feel happy about […]
@doughenwood.bsky.social
thanks for bridging to the fedi. #SocialWeb
the #SocialWeb is not about the technology, but a cultural change. movements tend to take a long time and lots of willpower to persevere and refuse the corruption of big money. please recognize the different game we're actually playing.
I'm starting to think that decentralization has to be a bit more difficult upfront or the law of defaults means they will all join the same server and never leave, making it theoretical forever. We have to overcome the onboarding struggle with education, which will have the side effect of […]
Discord's down, GitHub's about to lose the last 9 of uptime

Last week, I posted a question on Mastodon to check if people are using Elk. We got a massive response and some interesting insights. In this video I go through the data and what it means for the future of Elk.

RE: daveverse.org/2026/03/28/blueskys-futu...
This article is #APnative. You can boost, favorite and reply to it directly. You do not need to create another post that links to it. The creator can see everything in one place that they can control forever. All long form writing […]
imo @mackuba gets at the heart of the difference here. but people need both if these networks will be more than entertaining. Twitter has historically been a smaller social media network but extremely important because of how it has dominated news and discourse. obviously that's why it was […]
I wonder if the fedi struggles because it's too good to be believed.
"You're saying you're just trying to free us from advertising and corporate control? No strings? Bullshit. Everybody's got an angle."

Incredible work from @imanijoy and the team on @Mastodon's new profiles! Check it out ⤵

Certainly interesting.

The corporate platforms are not doing "social media". They are not letting the public decide which creative works get the most attention. They are data mining us to decide who sees what in the interests of their advertisers, profit and how they want to influence society. Their algorithms enable […]

The CFP for speakers isn't open yet, but we'll announce it here when it is. Stay tuned! […]
In light of the rulings against social media platforms, can we please try to distinguish between them and decentralized networks without algos or ads? Maybe do some research comparing the two. Develop different terms. You know, before governments (and their "happy to kill their competitors" mass […]
Beware of reputation laundering! Looks like the DataFarmers have paid some marketing pod people to try to co-opt the phrase 'Social Web' to include the legacy social media platforms it's being built as a replacement for. Or some pod people just decided there's money to be made in doing that off […]

📉 DAI теряет децентрализацию: внутри USDC и TradFi. MakerDAO продвигает USDS с функцией заморозки. Виталик Бутерин в 2026 призывает к свободе, но гонка за прибылью уводит проекты в сторону контроля. Главный парадокс года. 🍿🏦
