Listening to the first episode of @mike ‘s new podcast “Dot Social” on decentralized social networking with guest @mmasnick. They start off with discussion of his 2019 paper “Protocols, Not Platforms” and how, all of a sudden, the stagnant big social platforms are now being bypassed with rapid innovation by developers all over the fediverse.
Now in the dot-social podcast episode, @mike and @mmasnick discuss how much #fediverse and #threads users understand the proposition of “own your followers”. They come to the conclusion: probably not much. (I would agree.)
