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.

This is interesting. I didn't expect POSSE explained on The Verge in that much detail

This is quite strange

I'm not on threads (because Europe) but this is still highly amusing to me. I guess that's how religions start?

Good grief.

I feel this loss of community online every day.

Absolutely. I do miss the short time when people just used the things we now call social media for fun but maybe it is okay the way it is right now.

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

I guess it's performance art?
