Notices by Paul Ford (ftrain@tilde.zone), page 2

#introduction I'm Paul Ford, I've been on the Internet a long time—but nowhere near the longest—and I used to blog at https://ftrain.com. I am on Twitter/Medium/etc at @ftrain. I write a lot about technology—right now I'm a columnist for Wired, which has been a wonderful experience with wonderful editors. I accidentally started https://tilde.club although many other nice people run it now, so joining the tilde.zone Mastodon instance made the most sense for me. I'm a big fan of small social spaces on the Internet where people help each other along.

Aside from all that I co-ran a software agency for about 7 years with my friend Rich, and now I'm building a small startup at https://aboard.io, also with Rich. I live in Brooklyn with my spouse Maureen, two young kids, and two cats. New York City has been home for more than 25 years now.

I see lots of old friends on here, which is great. Feel free to say hello, I may be slow to reply.

@evan I mean this is an all-day-workshop kinda question. Because you need all kinds of stuff distributed. Crisis management? Comms? Messaging? Donations? Activism? Education? Emergency alerts and advisories? Etc etc etc. But I think “very important” as people prototype more services on top of activitypub.

This looks like a somewhat tawdry 1980 magazine for New England swingers. But what you’re looking at is important to social media history. Because this was the first time we know of that people were Horny on Maine.
