@nemobis That's the kind of thing I meant when saying "... POV you may or may not agree with"...

Interesting numbers about war and peace and trends. 6 months old and written with a point of view that you may or may not agree with, but still quite interesting.

Quote that got my interest: “There are currently 56 conflicts, the most since World War II.”

One should add: tendency rising.

@atomicpoet not a bad theory. I would add that it will transform advertising and product placement by replacing human influencers and ads with likable fictional characters that focus on you.

"At least 160 false narratives were spread in the United States by foreign governments" this year.
Most of it on social media.

Can we make the Fediverse a place that actively resists this?

@raphael I would call that a donation? Like what Wikipedia calls it I believe?

@raphael did you mean “invest” or “spend”?

Rich findings walking the dog today.

@ntnsndr @douginamug technically,this may be difficult. See https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky

This is the #bluesky critique I wish I would have written! I didn’t because I didn’t feel I had spent enough time in the depths of their tech to really be sure I’m not misunderstanding things, but my core points would have been largely the same. @cwebber did spend the time, and more power to her!

Highly recommended.

Hmm, somewhere between Threads and Mastodon, @Gargron turned into an e-mail address.

Yep, I know @pcottle and team aren't quite at this point yet with integration, but I underscores the need for interop testing once again.#FediTest

@kissane Ex-foster parent here. Can confirm need. And the longer you can stay with a kid as an advocate -- preferably over several foster placements -- the better it is.

Hosting an informal #fediverse #indieweb #socialweb get-together at #seagl at 3pm.

@ntnsndr @evan @Identitywoman @jaz My experience has been that people generally want those groups to stay around, so I would suggest planning for the long term rather than just while your program is running.

@ntnsndr @evan @Identitywoman Pulling in @jaz

@ntnsndr @evan @Identitywoman Interesting! Wow!! This is impressive!!

What kind of people do you expect to show up there (say developers vs operators vs community builders vs ... ) and what would they discuss on a day-to-day basis? Who would "own" / control / moderate that space?

Just read the transcript of @mike 's #DotSocial podcast with @jay.bsky.team .

They cover a lot of interesting use cases -- many of them dear to my heart since (embarrassingly) approx 2004:

A single identity for me on the web. Which I control and can self-host or move to different hosts. From where I can engage the world and the world can engage with me. No walled gardens. Lots of new use cases.

It's a bit harder than they make it out to be. But I obviously agree with the vision.

Surprisingly, though, not one question about the #Bluesky business model, which in many ways is the big elephant question in the room.

@mike @jay.bsky.team

All 5000 employees of the University of Innsbruck in Austria now can use the Fediverse, integrated with their enterprise login system.
