Some personal news: Excited to team up with @snarfed.org to form A New Social, a non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web.

It's time for social media to be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges 🌐

some more bridging we need is decentralized payment architecture. this would open up so many possibilities.

and also a way to bridge instances that host music to enable something like a decentralized Spotify, composed of musician websites. #funkwhale #bandwagon

so I've been going through this list vqv.app and afaict nobody in the top 50 most followed accounts at least has turned on the bridge (outside of bluesky CEO Jay). I've asked the top 250 to do so with little response. really frustrating.

it might help to have an icon on accounts here and on bluesky that indicate we are bridged, like threads does with their little circle thing. something to push for maybe.

“We're going to add a whole new category of content which is AI generated [...] And I think that that’s gonna be very exciting for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads, or other kinds of feed experiences over time.” - Zuck

If Meta wasn't already your idea of hell, just wait and see how bad it'll become when it's swilling in AI slop.

@quillmatiq I left that dumpster fire ten years too soon. Would leave it again now if I could.

My endgame is not Mastodon.
My endgame is not Threads.
My endgame is not Bluesky.

My endgame is finding communities across platforms, and eventually following them all on one that works best for me.

@quillmatiq All of them communicating seamlessly and being just a frontend would be good.

When you ask AI startups about their path to profitability:

"If you’re going to build something, build it in a way that’s standard and portable across multiple services."

@bart and I chatted with @jaypeters of @theverge about @subclub 🙏🏼

I also talk about how protocol-based networks can drive "one last network effect" and start a flywheel of innovation in social media.

Let's bring the social web back to the users 🌐

That could be especially true if the fediverse is successful to the point where it creates what sub.club adviser Anuj Ahooja calls “one last network effect.” That would be the idea of everyone joining fediverse platforms built on an open protocol where it’s possible to interact online with the option to move from network to network and platform to platform at will. “From there, you can drive so much innovation around social media,” Ahooja says.
“If you’re going to build something, build it in a way that’s standard and portable a cross multiple services"
“There’s a lot of free labor that runs the fediverse right now,” Ahooja says. “So let’s make sure people are getting compensated.”

"The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites."

If you're not looking at @theverge and @404mediaco as social web platforms that are hosting hand-picked content creators with a publisher's infrastructure, you're not paying attention. #Fediverse

Very interesting, within the scope of the federation, which I am following with interest regarding Flipboard and Fediverse. I can't say the same thing for Threads, because I don't know if they will ever allow us Europeans to try their federation (too bad it is so, a bit discriminatory)...

I will be following these new features of The Verge and 404 Media with interest. Thanks

awesome. we have to stop thinking about the fedi as a bunch of decentralized alternatives to the closed platforms, but AP as a social layer on top of the open web. that's where we become a threat to the vulture capitalists. the next step is to integrate the comment handling of lemmy/kbin/reddit. mastodon should do this too.
