I like Mastodon because -- it promises independence from bigco silos run by megalomaniac billionaires hell-bent on conquering everything. I just want to play with my friends. I'm into working together not world domination. Been there, done that, found it boring and lonely.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 20-Jun-2023 03:21:24 JST Dave Winer ☕️ What are you working on? You can respond privately, I am not looking for debates, looking for interop.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 24-May-2023 02:19:41 JST Dave Winer ☕️ I am working with @johnspurlock on RSS 2.0 feeds for Bluesky.
An example, here's the feed of my Bluesky posts.
https://rss.firesky.tv/?filter=from%3Ascripting.com
You should be able to subscribe to that in any feed reader that understands RSS, even if you don't have a Bluesky account.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 24-May-2023 02:19:40 JST Dave Winer ☕️ If Mastodon handled inbound feeds, you'd be able to follow someone on Bluesky from within Mastodon. I would love to see this connection made asap.
I wrote about this in July last year, when the topic was Substack allowing people to use other editors.
Inbound RSS has got to happen. It's a big easy idea. Small pieces loosely joined.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-May-2023 19:01:42 JST Dave Winer ☕️ no problem with all that. but we're looking for a common denominator between all the different social networks.
it's good that mastodon and hopefully the other activitypub apps support outbound rss.
if this becomes something all the different networks do, not just those that are AP based, then we will be able to build across that.
we're going to anyway, simply because mastodon supports rss and so does wordpress, btw. ;-)

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-May-2023 01:49:04 JST Dave Winer ☕️ the thing about RSS is we all know what it is and what it can do. there is no mystery to it at all.
we should insist that all the new social media platforms AT LEAST provide outbound RSS so our ideas aren't locked into their databases.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 05-May-2023 13:28:01 JST Dave Winer ☕️ I’ll make a prediction. With all the protocols floating around SocialMediaLand, and more sure to come, ultimately they’ll all be tied together by RSS.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 30-Apr-2023 01:39:53 JST Dave Winer ☕️ How about instead of emotional appeals, let's do some real old fashioned marketing of Mastodon.
List features in the left margin.
List products across the top.
Put checkboxes where the product has the feature.
We used to do this kind of stuff really well.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 20-Mar-2023 17:23:42 JST Dave Winer ☕️ hey mike nice to see you. ?
that was the big advantage twitter had over RSS feeds. it was possible to centralize subscriptions, but it required cooperation among the different vendors. and i think people in this world will resist centralization.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 15-Mar-2023 03:55:18 JST Dave Winer ☕️ Earlier today I used Google to try to find a doc I wrote a few years ago. I am the author. I have the original. Well a bunch of people copied my file and posted it on their sites, with their template and their ads (I don't have ads), and for whatever reason Google ranks their docs higher. Mine isn't even on the first page. So tell me, how is that Google isn't implementing a "man in the middle" attack? Why aren't they taking the heat for delivering incorrect results?

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 02-Feb-2023 07:18:52 JST Dave Winer ☕️ I can now settle the age-old debate about what is and isn't a podcast. If at the end of your podcast, and in your promos, you say "Available where ever you get your podcasts.." then it's a podcast! If you don't say it, then it ain't a fecking podcast!
To illustrate, here's the shortest podcast ever.

Dave Winer ☕️ (davew@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 30-Jan-2023 01:26:31 JST Dave Winer ☕️ BTW, mastodon has thoroughly eclipsed Twitter as the meeting place for developers and clear-thinking users. I don't imagine you'll see too many more Twitter links from me.

I have that working for twitter now and could easily adapt it for mastodon if you would help promote.
