@taylorlorenz My name came up in a non-public subthread.

A lot of what I would have to say has been documented in the "people's history" type articles written about a decade back by Robek and Strypey, about the early, pre-Masto Fediverse from a user and social perspective, but I could be helpful with clarifications. (I'll try to locate those articles)

Like many others have pointed out, I would say Evan, CWebber and Gargron have key perspectives not to leave out from a history, protocol, development and hosting perspective, and for modern hosting perspectives and broadness of software and ways of running communities, I'd talk to Jerry and Darius.

I think all of these people have been at-mentioned elsewhere in the thread and I won't spam them further here.

Another interesting branch of the Fediverse historically is the one with Quitter, En Kompis Kompis, Freesocial and the Umeå Hackerspace, but I'm not sure where to find mmn, pettter and peer2hannes these days. If I @ them here, my server gives me the defunct Umeå Hackerspace server.

Oh, and I hope someone digs out that beautiful fedi software landscape poster from that workshop a few years ago.

I'm working on a YouTube mini series explaining the Fediverse!!

Who are the most knowledgeable people in this realm who I should definitely talk to?

What do you think is important to include in my series? I want to hear thoughts!!

@mgorny You are not wrong. The article is great. I have made the bottleneck argument before. The erosion of expertise to an LLM eating its own garbage output is a huge worry for not only the experts but for us all.

I'm saying it would be great to have a situation where the bottleneck discussion could be the focus rather than being distracted by the water use and provenance discussion, or to have a situation where we don't even need to discuss where the bottleneck is because the LLM is startlingly obviously not returning value.

@lanodan

The US does it on the second Sunday of March, so they already did it on Sunday three weeks ago, on 2026-03-08.

I must have been remarkably offline that weekend, as usually I can't escape noticing the perennial DST rage posts.

@mansr That's true.

I'm set on not imagining anything more than a nice revisit to beloved characters. Anything above that will be a bonus.

Now I spoiled it for you, but:

AwesomeCon 2026: "Firefly Announcement Panel"

#firefly is coming out as a cartoon, how awesome is that?!

IF. if. some network or streamer picks it up.

But, I mean, come on. Look at that impossible crowd of fans. Monetize us. Do it.

#FireflyCartoon #FireflyAnimated

Some are calling it #FireflyReboot, but Fillion says it'll be the exact same universe, just a different medium. Stories will take place in the 8-month space between the show and the film, because nobody would want to do this without Alan Tudyk, that would just be sad.

@ploum It's a digression, but: "(And, yes, I consider Brits Europeans. They will join us back, we miss them, I promise.)" As a Brit, I really appreciate this gracious stance, and I hope with all my heart that you are right.

#TShirtSpotting

Compression method for corporate speak, where you store only the valuable information conveyed, and decompression means feeding that to an LLM.

Kind of like the psychoacoustic models of audio compressors.

This Mashup of Imagine Dragons' "Warrior" and the Avengers theme is pretty cool.

Back to the Future and The Avengers are Alan Silvestri's two most iconic themes. I'm surprised I can't find a mashup of them. I would have expected to find multiple!
