You got to love "news" organisations being hypocrites
I keep seeing the same "paywalls are bad" story showing up... behind paywalls.
Article in The Atlantic titled "Democracy Dies Behind Paywalls: The case for making journalism free — at least during the 2024 election" by Richard Stengel. Then there's a pop up box saying "To read this story sign in or start a subscription."

send me anonymous messages!
Do you think Bluesky will become popular enough to eclipse Twitter, Mastodon, and Threads?
Or do you see it as always a niche site?

We must have a way of disabling the Bluesky Labeler
I think I agree with Elon for once and say the TikTok bill in the USA sets a very bad precedent for abusing it in the future @elonmusk: "This censorship bill if far too broad. It will be abused in the future."

Just did the speech on decentralised social media. I have managed to convince people to switch to using Mastodon so my efforts aren't wasted.
Time to confuse the iOS users today. What if we
users tell them we have iMessage and AirDrop? Will they reconsider their purchase?
I'm going up to Cambridge Uni today to give a talk about "Decentralising Social Media" (hopefully I can convince people to switch to Mastodon/Bluesky 🦋)
We definitely need this stuff in the skies
hmm this sounds like it could be non public stuff in bsky

is fully sunset and I still don't have an alternative like it. I've tried out Flipboard, Inoreader and others and cannot find the same level of social features within them. Anyone got an alternative that I could try out?
I also hope people can support a bridge between them!
mastodon rocks. bluesky rocks. i'm happy both exist.
