@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

Starting to feel like billionaire-owned media products aren't good for us

@BeAware AI-generated Shaq 😭

@evan Happy Birthday!! 🥳🥳🥳

My endgame is not Mastodon.
My endgame is not Threads.
My endgame is not Bluesky.

My endgame is finding communities across platforms, and eventually following them all on one that works best for me.

Thank you @Flipboard for including me alongside folks I admire in your open social web experts feature! It's an honor to be placed next to @Gargron, @evan, @mmasnick, @tchambers, and @Sarahp 🤩
