@Sarahp It's a great pitch but it doesn't really solve the problem they raise in the "sell sheet," that you have to have accounts on all those distributed networks for the app to work Substack rival Ghost federates its first newsletter https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/08/substack-rival-ghost-federates-its-first-newsletter/ @Sarahp I see fediverse:creator support is finally live at @TechCrunch, that's excellent 🙂 @Sarahp has it recently taken a turn for the even worse? I log in occasionally for a volunteer gig and I was just struck by how scuzzy everything felt today. Feels like the kind of site that gives your computer a virus. #ios #app #developers with a global user base, would love to hear how the #DMA is (or is not) changing how you plan to do business.

That's a sign that things are changing. @Sarahp With Postmarks, social bookmarking is back — but this time it’s built on the fediverse https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/08/with-postmarks-social-bookmarking-is-back-but-this-time-its-built-on-the-fediverse/

As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/24/as-twitter-destroys-its-brand-by-renaming-itself-x-mastodon-usage-numbers-are-again-soaring/ Mammoth will be demo'ing next week at #FediForum, together with about a dozen other interesting fediverse apps. Register at https://fediforum.org/ /cc @Sarahp @Sarahp https://github.com/TheBLVD/mammoth I'd personally wait till it officially becomes open source before trying it, but at least it claims it will be soon. Could be worse, could be some company making a shamelessly ad and tracking ridden app to cash in on the collapse of Twitter.
