Uuuuh, this looks like it's right up my alley!

I hardly ever open Bluesky but Jay Graber fascinates me

An old article, but I have been thinking about that lately.

Yes, he is clearly right about all of this.

Hm. I see where he's coming from and I think I agree. But I need to think about it a bit more.

John and Merlin talk about something that has been bothering me, too - it's hard to find your tribe online these days because randos aren't fun potential friends anymore.

Yes, sure. Some of the world is quite nice, though.

Ah, yes. Lovely headline.

Minchin is such an interesting person. I went ahead and ordered the book immediately.

A nice companion piece to the "modernity is stupid" article I bookmarked before.

the Internet’s business model is betrayal. Every mature social media platform has betrayed us. Every big search engine has betrayed us.

Hahaha. Oh no.

Really good article on how things are at the moment.

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.

Someone give this man a year and funding.

Holymoly, this is great. Both what they did and this blog post.

Oh.

Thumbs up

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.

Oh wow. This is good.

These days its all meme accounts

This is probably the best headline of the month

That doesn't make the bicycle guy look particularly good.

Hah:

"Globalisation takes place only in capital and data,” the literary theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has written. “Everything else is damage control."

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

I haven't laughed so hard in weeks

This is why we can't have nice things.

It's a bit sad but yes. Sure, there's Mastodon but even there it doesn't just feel the same.
