The antidote to AI destroying the web is to strengthen human connection and to make those connections a fundamental part of the open web. Quickly.

"A quarter-century into its existence, a company that once proudly served as an entry point to a web that it nourished with traffic and advertising revenue has begun to abstract that all away into an input for its large language models."

I talk about the #fediverse in this episode of Technically Optimistic, a terrific podcast by Raffi Krikorian and Emerson Collective. The topic: How to Save Social Media

He's baaaack.

@arcalinea @bsky.brid.gy @jay.bsky.team great to see your posts on mastodon! One step closer to the open social web. Thank you @snarfed for helping make this possible.

This interview with @rileytestut by @davidpierce is SO good. Super exciting vision of an App Store powered by developers who are supported with Patreon or similar. This is a really big idea. Also love that Riley has been active in the fediverse since 2018!

@damon The honor is ours! Thanks for all the great coverage you guys are providing for the fediverse.

Hello fediverse!

So far we've federated 450 #Flipboard accounts which have now received more than 100,000 likes, boosts, replies and follows from people in the #fediverse. Today we are federating another 100 people who are curating terrific magazines that people in the fediverse can now enjoy.

Here's just one of my many favorites:

Addressing Climate Change Locally
By Ms. Coleman La Salle
High school Biology and Anatomy Teacher in Portland, Oregon

Federated link:

Note that it takes time for newly federated magazines to populate so click on "Browse more on original profile" in order to see all the stories in the magazine. Once you follow, you'll see new stories as they are added in real time.

Enjoy and check out this post for more great examples:

#ClimateChange

@chris @avlap2 also I don’t mean to minimize the “cancel machine” issue you mention. Finding the balance here is super important and not easy. I do think this is an area that needs more attention and norm setting.

Gotta love how the fediverse is actively banning nazis while Elon is actively unbanning them and Substack does nothing.

@aral ok. flipboard.social and flipboard.com are blocking noauthority.social #fediblock for hate speech and calls for violence.

@islekcaganmert great idea. @tchambers @greg @stux @Gargron Thoughts on this?

@islekcaganmert @tchambers @greg @stux @Gargron + @mike@thecanadian.social

Well, I got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.

I reported and blocked the account. I also looked at the instance admin's account and it's clear he's also a white supremacist. So that instance will be blocked on flipboard.com and flipboard.social as well as shared with other instance admins as a problematic instance for them to take action if they also deem appropriate. Took all of 2 minutes to help make the fediverse a bit better for everyone.

And the best thing is that anyone in the fediverse can do this too. Decentralized moderation FTW.

@BeAware thank you for the kind words. I love being on team fediverse.

@cdevroe @greg adding @FlipboardCS as well.

@cdevroe hi Colin, team will DM you tomorrow.

@cdevroe @FlipboardCS @greg I'll look into this and get back to you.

@renchap @pcottle I love Mastodon and this community!

@pcottle yes we need to make these a thing in the fediverse
