@bart cc: @404mediaco thought you would like this....

@thriveanxietysolutions I do: I think we instinctively feel scared around others who are frightened or anxious.

This deserves a lot of attention:

@bart Love this: so any RSS feed can be premium, and then users who subscribe get access to this unique RSS feed for them, that then goes inactive if/when they stop paying? And is this for text only, or also podcast RSS formats?

@bsky.app Congrats!

Check out @steve on #SocialHub with a proposal to work on #ActivityPub #C2S, the client-to-server Social API part of the #W3C Recommendation.

The Social API didn't get much uptake on the #Fediverse where generally the #Mastodon API is used (and abused) for client/server communication.

It is not because the Social API isn't good, just that no one ever did the legwork to mature this part of the spec.

Are you interested in C2S and help push the #SocialWeb?

@renchap @andypiper Thank you for your service!

The chart showing the #engagement with @heiseonline shows a slow decline in Boosts, Favs and Replies. Thanks @analytodon for the data!

Any idea, what I should look out for in the data we have?

If Europe and the EU would not themselves experiment with fascism right now, with the way that the US will probably act in the next years there's a huge window to actually change the web and tech if one had some will to actually do something.
(And I am not talking about "EU Unicorns" or a "European Palantir". I mean something that actually puts the common good and the people using technology to structure parts of their lives front and center.)

@jon I'd agree that closed, proprietary algos definitely bless some speech and surpresss others. Studies show YouTube's algo recommendation drives over 77 percent of all video views. What I hope for the Fediverse is that most clients default to just a reverse-chron algo, but then also let USERS create, share and tweak algorithms, that they are empowered to use, or not use.

@ben A bunch are in the works. Will be public.

@Mushi @galactus technically I don't know a lot about AT. I try not to use it or to read its docs since there's no patent protection.

That said, I'm pretty sure it uses DIDs for identifiers, and that all content is public.

@futurebird

odd. i see picrelated just fine - not my reply, not boosted, not buried.

it is kind of inconvenient though that when i see a reply in the tl there is no "go to start of thread" button or anything; if i click the post itself it may or may not load the context.

e.g. 2nd post just doesnt load the rest of the presumed thread

(i do boost great replies #mandatoryvirtuesignal but i did not know i had to do it with mine as well)

Piece by piece, we're connecting #Bandwagon to every corner of the open web.

Today, we're improving how links to your songs and albums display when someone shares them on Mastodon, Facebook, and others. It's a small thing, but immensely valuable to the social web.

As an example, here's an album I've been listening to on Bandwagon.fm: https://bandwagon.fm/671667a8d7963fa9c589401e

@JonChevreau @seth @KamalaHarrisWin - will suggest some new branding but giving everyone a rest and some time to recalibrate… 👍

@janboddez @theadhocracy Try again now - should be working now!

We are going to be especially dependent on each other’s bravery in the coming years. We are always more dependent on that than we realize. Now, we have to reinforce each other’s bravery. We must model it for each other, whenever and however we can. Bravery grows with small actions. 1/

@mekkaokereke Good advice.

@GottaLaff Feel the same.

@janboddez @theadhocracy Confirmed the issue, working on it.
