Back home after a very busy week in San Francisco. I spoke with @caseynewton, @mmasnick, @harrymccracken, @laurengoode, @chrismessina, @Markoff and so many others. In an age where the old web is gradually getting killed off by AI, there is still hope for the future in the shape of the fediverse.

I used to think the most unrealistic thing about HGTV was the dog-walker/poet couple with the $1.5 million budget on House Hunters.
I now realize the most unrealistic thing about HGTV is the idea that there are contractors who listen to their clients and actually build things the right way.

if you think queer people must be hidden from kids at all costs or it will turn all the kids queer… you’re kinda just admitting that you think being queer is so obviously much better than being straight that the only thing stopping anyone from being queer is not knowing it’s an option

Reading the news from twenty or thirty years ago, reveals a shocking consistency of exploitation, and a trail of broken promises to fix it.
Whether it be soda companies promising plant-based bottles, oil companies hinting at algae generated energy, or chocolate companies vowing to eliminate slavery in its supply line, meaningful change is perpetually just one generation away.
Temporary exploitation narratives make us feel good ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/05/18/reading-the-news.html

Do we all agree that bringing up the Official Definition of "open source" is no different than saying "actually it's GNU/Linux"? Nobody should care what some self-appointed group thinks about the "correct" meaning of English words "open source". People use it in slightly different context dependent ways, and it's fine. We have other means to express nuances.

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
