   @oligneisti wordpress indeed but I am also looking forward to #discourse federation. That platform has a way to bring people together on the basis of some common interest that somehow always works. Maybe its the moderation tools.

   In any case these are just the shovel-ready projects. Seems to me that the options opening up for totally new things are amazing. But it will take time. People implementing #activitypub dont seem too impressed with its state of definition and implementability.

     What I think might be the most important single thing in the future of the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub is #WordPress. If they do it well it could be a game changer. It would raise the appeal for creators to have their own sites.

     Of course I want WordPress' competitiors to try to outdo them, the important thing is that it would be done outside of the walled gardens.

     I went from writing this to listening to @taylorlorenz talk to @adamconover on #Factually about #SocialMedia. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't use the opportunity to plug their #Mastodon accounts because talking about the alternatives is a big part of changing the internet landscape.

     Then I went on to listen to #BehindTheBastards talk about #AaronSwartz. Of course #RSS comes up.

     In this episode I decided to recommend #PodcastAntenna. I also talked about #RSS and the important role it plays in #podcasts.

     I think #ContentCreators should help their audience understand their medium and also point them towards better solutions for accessing content.

     RSS is the reason why podcasting is the only medium that is wide reaching and distributed. The corporations want to put podcasts in a walled garden. They (e.g. #Spotify) have tried and though they failed they will try again.

     The hidden folk at #Yuletide. I retell two related #folktales and speculate about what they say about contemporary society.

     I recorded the episode and mentioned the then current state of the pending #VolcanicEruption in #Iceland. While I was doing so, an eruption started. I added a note on this before I uploaded it to Patreon. Now that I am releasing it for everyone, the eruption seems to be over.
