If you want a replacement or "better" Twitter, depending on a single entity to make it happen will eventually end with you wanting another replacement in a few years.

@npub1ks4…x88p I don't want a universal public forum - one platform cannot and will not be a solution for everyone. Even the one you choose today is likely to fail you at some point.
I want those with whom I want to interact with to be accessible regardless of what platform I or they choose. I want to be able to leave one platform for another without losing my relationships along the way.
People matter to me more than platforms.

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.

"Moderation is hard at scale"
Okay, then maybe a single platform with a singular moderation policy should never get to that scale.

If you're a hands-on learner and want to learn how to build for ActivityPub, I urge you to try out @npub14m5…rx6j.
The documentation alone is a great way to understand the underlying mechanics, and you'll be prototyping ideas in no time. I've been using it for the last few months and can't recommend it enough.
They just launched their first stable release: https://fedify.dev/
s/o to @npub1e9k…70vv for this fantastic resource.

For every dumb decision Elon makes, the open social web grows 🌐📈

2024-08-30 20:59:05

Your favorite social network could make decisions that make it impossible to use the service where you live. If that happens, you lose not only access to the site but, more importantly, the community you worked so hard to build.
Use platforms that implement open social web protocols like #ActivityPub so you can lift your network to another platform without missing a beat.
Your network shouldn't be trapped with the whims of a corporation. There's a better way.

Apple has decided that it also wants to extort independent creators now.

It's wild to me that after at least a year of having more than one competitor, people still talk about not having a viable alternative to X.
Vibe check: *You* haven't moved. *You* have not done the legwork to build a community elsewhere. *You* have not worked with your followers to find a better place. *You* are enabling a bad actor and putting money in his pockets. *You* are addicted and are not willing to admit it.
The alternatives aren't the problem. *You* are the problem. Fix yourself.

Ghost has some exciting news in their latest #ActivityPub progress update:
"The other thing we're now working full-speed towards is open sourcing the new ActivityPub Service GitHub repository. That means the code will be available for anyone and everyone to see, use, follow-along-with, or contribute-to."
This is dope! Looking forward to tracking the development live 👀

On publishers embracing the #Fediverse:
"They've decided to invest in their own technology using open protocols rather than depend on proprietary systems. At this point, if you're not looking at these publishers as social web platforms that are hosting hand-picked bloggers, podcasters, and content creators with a publisher's infrastructure, you're not paying attention."

In this week's edition of my newsletter, "Human-Generated Content":
"If we ignore the truth - which is a really weird thing to ignore - there's another major problem here: what I see here is the further consolidation of the media industry."
Some publishers are choosing AI while others are choosing the #Fediverse. You know where my bets are 🌐

I wrote about how Patreon needs to join the #Fediverse:
"Why would a creator send their audience to a third-party platform when Instagram and Threads can be a one-stop-shop with their existing followers while having access to new paid subscribers across the social web?
Patreon can no longer just be the place where creators are paid, it needs to be a place where creators can be discovered. And it cannot do that as a social silo."
Your move, Patreon 🚨
