Also bridged to Bluesky, if you're into that! https://bsky.app/profile/pixels.quillmatiq.com BREAKING: Billionaire planning on buying a social network. No not that one, the other one. And this one, not that one. Yes, again.   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 https://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 finding communities across platforms, and eventually following them all on one that works best for me.  "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 🌐 Read here: https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/1/24232298/sub-club-fediverse-make-money     @quillmatiq @theverge @404mediaco I will be following these new features of The Verge and 404 Media with interest. Thanks @quillmatiq @theverge @404mediaco 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. |
