Bluesky och Mastodon bättre än Facebook och Insta
Följare och vänner betyder mycket lite i sociala medier. Dvs i traditionella sociala medierna kontrollerade av företag med algoritmer för att gynna provocerande och inflammatoriskt innehåll. Anledningen till att följare och vänner betyder väldigt lite är att ett inlägg bara når till en liten del av följarna och vännerna.
Bluesky Doesn't Need More Apps. It Needs Advanced Video (Part 1)
Open protocols won the architecture war. Now the core app has to win the masses.
Bluesky och Mastodon
Bluesky och Mastodon är de största alternativa sociala mediesajterna i Sverige. Båd ahar öppen och fri kod. Det ena är dock centraliserat och i huvudsak kontrollerat av ett US-amerikanskt företag och därmed inte fritt. Det andra är decentraliserat och inte kontrollerat av ett enda företag. Det är fritt. Det är den grundläggande skillnaden. Men det är inte den enda skillnaden mellan centraliserade Bluesky och decentraliserade Mastodon.
The Feed is the Product: Why We Stay in Walled "Gardens", and Why We Might Finally Leave for the Open Social Web
We have known this for years. We have known that the major platforms are bad for our attention, our sleep, our politics, our children, and our sense of reality. And yet here we are, still scrolling. This essay is an attempt to answer two questions: why is leaving so hard, and what does it look like when it finally becomes possible? Let's take the platforms one at a time, because each one has found its own distinctive way to be terrible. Meta is the empire that learned nothing. In 2018, we learne...
Nobody Cares About Your Protocol
And That's the Problem
分散型SNSとSNSの分散
一休さんのようなことを言っているのではなくて、両者は違うね、という話。

Convert microblog posts from Twitter, Mastodon, Threads, and Nostr to AT Protocol Bluesky posts.
Blogging Thru It #1: Starting Things
There are a lot of posts that I wanted to throw out on Bluesky, but there are thoughts that I just instantly post about (as god intended) that just deserves more cooking in the oven. My solution? Making all my thoughts that could have been threads dabbed into a series of blog posts. I'm not sure if this is going to be a staple on my Pckt or my Leaflet, but just know that my bullshit is going to be in the ATmosphere somehow! So let's get started! I mentioned this before in a recent update in the ...
But First, Interoperability
Back in November, I wrote an essay that explored the significance of services like Bridgy Fed, a protocol-level bridge that connects open social platforms. Since then, Ryan Barrett, the builder behind Bridgy Fed, and I have started A New Social: a nonprofit focused on building more cross-protocol tools like the bridge.
Threads Beta Feature Enables Fediverse Profiles
Meta's social microblogging platform has enabled a new, fundamentally important feature: the ability to look up and follow profiles from the network.
The Network Serves Us
Thoughts on the sudden surge of success Bluesky has seen this week—without a network-dampening algorithm in sight.
Bridges & The Last Network Effect
We’re in an exciting moment for the open social web. As Elon makes one bad decision after another on X, we’ve seen waves of users leave the platform for alternatives. Three obvious beneficiaries of these, ahem, lapses of judgment are Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon.
Sky High - Human-Generated Content
Human-Generated Content
☢️ Week 164 - Nuclear
My cold from last weekend kept me off work this Monday. I was still foggy the next morning so didn't risk the drive up to our office in Cambridge in the rain. I've been mostly cooped up indoors 😔 I rewatched Threads this week - the film about a fictional nuclear attack was shown
Escaping the Rigged Internet - Human-Generated Content
The vlogbrothers have entered the conversation about the future of human-generated content, and you already know that I had to talk about it.
The Threads Creator Paradox
It’s been just over a year since Meta launched Threads, a microblogging platform built upon Instagram’s foundation. While still in its infancy, the team has quickly added features that present itself as a viable alternative to its contemporaries, the most important being a TweetDeck-like desktop UI.
Finish The Job, Adam
If Meta is going to support the fediverse, it needs to actually support people who don’t live on Threads. No lip service. No half-finished betas.
Patreon Belongs in the Fediverse
Patreon needs to become Threads before Threads become Patreon.
Ghost is about to beat Substack in Discoverability
Ghost's Fediverse integration will have larger implications for the newsletter landscape. Namely, I think this will eventually bring the slow death of another social silo, Substack.
Post-Post
The demise of Post, one of the social networks that emerged from the 2022 Twitter exodus, shows how users have come to understand that vibes aren’t everything with social media.
Social Silos: On Post, Artifact, and the future of closed networks
I think Post's greatest miss was not interoperating with complementary products like Flipboard, Artifact, WordPress, Medium, and Ghost to build out a cross-platform network of creators, curators, and consumers.
Threads on Mastodon and The Bright Future of the Fediverse
This is my journey that started as an experiment to see how my Threads feed would look like on Mastodon and ended with me finding experiences that went above and beyond my expectations.
metaverse
Keine Angst, es geht nicht um Avatare ohne Beine! Threads has entered the fediverse!!! TL;DR: Ich freue mich, dass Meta diesen Schritt geht und ich zukünftig vielleicht all meine Freunde im Fediverse Social Web treffen kann, ohne dafür einen Threads, Facebook oder Instagram Account zu benötigen, ich respektiere aber auch jeden, der anderer Meinung ist...
Message In A Bottle
The current splintering of social media across networks is creating a problem eerily reminiscent of the early battles over instant messaging. Here’s what we can learn.
Let The Internet Be Grimy
Meta’s take on mimicking Twitter feels like it was built for brand safety first, and you don’t get fulfilling internet experiences when you build for brand safety first.
Making Sense of the Argument Around Meta
A detailed look at the timeline behind Meta's interactions with the Fediverse, how different parts of the network have reacted, and some insights on where things might be going.
