Balloonerism is gorgeous, just as expected. Can't wait to add it to my collection.

Highly recommend listening, and everything Macadelic-onward.

@dansup Love to see it 👏🏼

BREAKING: Billionaire planning on buying a social network. No not that one, the other one. And this one, not that one. Yes, again.

@Gargron It's never easy to do the right thing, and I hope in the long-term you can look back and see how important this decision is. Thank you for doing this and excited for the next phase of your journey!

Hey, we could all self-host our social media profiles and choose different services to moderate, fact-check, and block based on our needs so we don't have to depend on billionaire owners and investors.

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

@_elena the definitive list

I kinda appreciate it when Elon goes on tirades against services like Wikipedia, Signal, and NPR since they end up getting an influx of much-needed donations.

What else should we make Elon hate?

Hawk Tuah except we just laugh at it and don't turn it into its own industry

@evan Yup, that wifi gets turned off the moment I'm ready to open a streaming app. Made this mistake a few too many times 😅

Once, I downloaded a season of a show on Hulu and nothing else. When I hopped on the flight, they were randomly expired - after one night!

Never again. Excessive redundancy is the only solution.

Brb, preparing for my flight by downloading every video on every streaming service just in case

Very excited about the beta launch of @surf, a brand new way to experience the open social web from @Flipboard .

I've been using it for the last few weeks, and it's such a fresh take on custom feeds - spanning across multiple platforms, including Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Flipboard, and so many more.

This is just a peek at what the future of the social web can look like, and it looks gorgeous 😍

@_elena @snarfed.org Thank you so much, Elena! And thank you for all your hard work in education in the space, you're pushing the open social web in the most important way 🙏🏼

Some personal news: Excited to team up with @snarfed.org to form A New Social, a non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web.

It's time for social media to be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges 🌐

Hm, a couple edits

"low-hanging fruit" -> "bubble"
"gone" -> "bursting"

There we go, much better

I wrote about the importance of tools that bring different platforms and protocols together and how I believe that's the future of an open social web owned by people, not platforms.

One great feature that Mastodon and Bluesky have that Threads doesn't is that their leadership doesn't congratulate fascists for accomplishing their goals.

“We're going to add a whole new category of content which is AI generated [...] And I think that that’s gonna be very exciting for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads, or other kinds of feed experiences over time.” - Zuck
