Großartig.

Ah, Tumblr. Those were the days.

Huh. Good!

I completely agree with Kev here. Especially when it comes to this escalation:

And it gets even worse -- and I've seen this happen many times on the fedi -- when folk imply that as users of the product we're also a bad people, just for using the product.

I've been wondering the same thing and just like Ruben, I end up being in favor of archives.

Hm.

I think that's the first time I read "Maybe ActivityPub is not a good idea because it brings Mastodons toxicity into otherwise calmer spaces" but it's not as far-fetched as I thought it would be and it's not a good sign for ActivityPub.

The whole problem space of social norms, audience etc. is super interesting, especially in spaces like the IndieWeb and the Fediverse which are by definition fractured and diverse.

Finally

Someone give this man a year and funding.

Jesus Christ, what is wrong with these people

Great. Well done, Discord.

I think this is the last post I link to on the topic of Social Media bridges. It is a really good one, though.

I mean I host stuff there, they're great

Well, let's hope it does.

This is pretty neat. Maybe I need to use Flipboard again.

MetaFilter is such a weird website. I used to love it but that's quite a while in the past.

I feel this loss of community online every day.

They're talking about wordpress.com, which is a bit mindbloggling.

I guess that's where things will be heading around the Fediverse in the long run.

Those were the days.

We like things not just because we’re exposed to them, but because, before exposure, we have opened our hearts to liking them.

Hm.

The first point is slowly being pushed against, which is good, mostly.

100% this. I tried to write my own little ActivityPub thing in the past and I just couldn't get Mastodon to understand the posts, so in the end I scrapped the whole thing. A test suite would be great.
