@BeAware Love it! I'm sure you'll gather some subscribers over time 🙏🏼

Some personal news: For the last couple of months, I've been an advisor to @subclub - a new Fediverse platform for paid subscriptions! The team is next-level talented and share my vision for bringing everyone to the open social web.

I'm so excited to be part of this mission to help fund instance owners and also usher in creators from closed platforms to ones where they own their audience and their content, while sharing across numerous platforms.

And this is just the start 👀 (1/3)

I'm also honored to be one of the first people to have a @subclub 🤩! Check out @quillmatiq@sub.club to become a premium subscriber! I'll be sharing projects I'm working on, giving you early access to them, and more.

Absolutely no pressure to subscribe, but your support would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼 (3/3)

Three neat features of @subclub:

1. You can post to your premium subscribers by DMing your @subclub from your existing Fediverse account 🤌🏼

2. There's already an API, so devs can integrate with the platform on day one 🔌

3. Ice Cubes and Mammoth are the first clients to have a "Subscribe" button for sub.club, and it'll show up on other apps soon 💲

The long-term goal is a standardized "Subscribe" button for *every* premium subscription platform on the Fediverse, not just @subclub 🌐🚀 (2/3)

When someone asks if it's still worth being active on X / Twitter:

For the last few issues of 'Human-Generated Content,' I explored the impact of AI on the human web, so there wasn't enough space to discuss the #Fediverse.

But we are *so* back.

Today, I explore how social media companies are educating the public about the open social web:
- @ThomasFoster & @saskia of @newsmast
- @docpop w/ Wordpress
- @bart of @mammoth
- @mike of @Flipboard
- @triketora of Block Party
- @ghost (@johnonolan)

That, and more, here: https://www.augment.ink/human-generated-content-6

"This interoperability is the future of social media and we’re excited to see how it reshapes our world." - @mike

Couldn't agree more 🌐🚀

@BeAware And with their latest update, you can follow Fediverse users *without* needing to federate - you only need to federate if you want to engage. It's a really cool way to let people dip their toes into this world without needing to fully commit on day one.

@BeAware Not to mention they're doing with an *existing* service, not one from scratch. Kudos to @Flipboard on all of this 👏🏼

I wrote about @Flipboard's next major step in becoming a part of the #Fediverse - letting users follow anyone on Mastodon, PixelFed, or any other federated service (including federated Threads accounts!) *without* needing to federate!

I think this is a really smart way of letting folks dip their toes in the open social web without needing to commit to it 👏🏼

Flipboard is so close 🤏🏼 to fully federating, and I'm so excited!

Apple has decided that it also wants to extort independent creators now.

Very cool to see @ChrisPirillo and @evan sit down to chat about the #Fediverse on @TheNewStack 👀

@BeAware This means so much coming from you - thank you so much!

S/o to @deadsuperhero for going on an incredible streak of articles in the last couple of weeks!

Two big pieces of news in Ghost's progress on ActivtyPub integration:

1. You can now follow their newsletter from the Fediverse at this address: @index
2. They've open sourced their ActivityPub work!

We're many steps closer to being able to follow Ghost newsletters on the #Fediverse rather than cluttering up your email inbox 🙏🏻

I tried my best but I am only a man 🥲 #Fediverse

Very excited to drop this next issue - only two days out!

On publishers embracing the #Fediverse:

"They've decided to invest in their own technology using open protocols rather than depend on proprietary systems. At this point, if you're not looking at these publishers as social web platforms that are hosting hand-picked bloggers, podcasters, and content creators with a publisher's infrastructure, you're not paying attention."

https://www.augment.ink/human-generated-content-2/

In this week's edition of my newsletter, "Human-Generated Content":

"If we ignore the truth - which is a really weird thing to ignore - there's another major problem here: what I see here is the further consolidation of the media industry."

Some publishers are choosing AI while others are choosing the #Fediverse. You know where my bets are 🌐

@Gargron No 👏🏼 more 👏🏼 social 👏🏼 silos 👏🏼

I wrote about how Patreon needs to join the #Fediverse:

"Why would a creator send their audience to a third-party platform when Instagram and Threads can be a one-stop-shop with their existing followers while having access to new paid subscribers across the social web?

Patreon can no longer just be the place where creators are paid, it needs to be a place where creators can be discovered. And it cannot do that as a social silo."

Your move, Patreon 🚨
