    Damn,

    ActivityPub + Solid = ActivityPod activitypods.org

    This has a huge potential to streamline our abilities to use different fediverse apps with the same identity…

    And now the veteran Tweetdeck is going behind Blue “Verified” jail in less than 30 days.. It’s really great how Musk keeps destroying #Twitter More people for the fediverse, like it or not, but this has been the best catalyzer to move people away from big tech. Yes Meta will retain some of the bleeding, it’s unavoidable! Better than Musk anyway. At this stage, everything should be done to empty Twitter. Continue reading →

    Just take a moment to think about the gazillions websites across the planet containing embedded tweets or Twitter lists, that since today are broken or display a big blue “view on Twitter” button instead of the tweet.

    How wrong is that?

    Je crache ce texte en mode un peu coup de gueule sur ce qui tourne en loop sur quelques médias, quelques chaînes de TV et quelques “personnalités politiques” qui se la joue “bon père de famille”, sans parler d’un certain syndicats neofasciste près à partir en guerre pour instrumentaliser la séquence à des fins politiques, bref, à gerber. Moi ça me fait bien sarcasmer cette histoire qui se raconte en France dans les médias depuis quelques jours… que les émeutes c’est la faute des parents qui ne savent pas tenir leurs ados.

    The birdsite : how it’s going versus what’s coming to hunt the Mollusk nights.

    The Fediverse will thrive just fine, people will take control the way they want but one thing is very clear, #Meta is coming to Mwitter self-suicide.

    Twitter absurd limiting rules edicted by the Mollusk today Apparently this is Project92 screenshota from today.

    France… Le décalage entre les gouvernants et les gouvernés… Comment parler du déni de société ? Comment aborder la violence d’un système envers celleux qui ne la subissent pas ?

    Ce qu’il se passe aujourd’hui a été planté il y a longtemps. Le réveil est brutal.

    See this kind of post on the #threadiverse? That’s the kind of post that used to live on #reddit.

    It’s now being crafted on the open web and it’s delicious!

    I still think there is a place for a self-hosted open source FriendFeed, with #activitypub and #webmentions on top, there is still room for a decentralized social feed reader that can mix all kinds of feed sources.

    Tragic story, I’m still hurt, not because I didn’t find my own ways to build my feed reader (and have been using consistently ever since) but this story encapsulate the blindness of big tech better than anything else.

    And 2 decades later, guess how I’m consuming the most out of Reddit and now Kbin/Lemmy and the fediverse? An RSS feed reader, that’s right!

    Add to it a dash of webmentions and social reactions, without owning the social graph and you have probably the direction at which the open web is heading to, right now.

    And this time, neither, Google, Facebook or Reddit or Twitter will be part of it, because they are blind but above all because people want something else.

    And they want to define and own it.

    Who killed Google Reader? Ten years after its untimely death, the team that built the much-beloved feed reader reflects on what went wrong and what could have been.
