Ask yourselves: Are you building the open #SocialWeb for yourself or for the non-techie people?

If it's for the general public, then put #PeopleFirst. Split the backend from the frontend. The people shouldn't be migrating/importing within the Social Web.

Until then, we're still platform-locked.

The #SocialWeb or #OpenSocial will never reach household status until it switches from Platform First to #PeopleFirst; from dev-centric to non-techie.

#Fediverse: move or host your own instance

#ATmosphere: if a service goes down, create your own and read the old lexicon

A network one company owns can be sold, shut down or turned against the people who built their lives on it.
A network nobody owns can't.

I thought it was simply a matter of making the argument and everyone would get it. But no. People are very uninterested and unimpressed. Yet truth is that progressives will never own the "narrative" of reality on multibillionaire media. 2/2

I am really thankful for Atproto, even though a year ago I had my doubts.

Thanks to @quillmatiq.com and @thisismissem.social, they've shown me that ActivityPub and Atproto are not competitors, quite the opposite, and we're all in this together.

Together we can. Together we will. #socialWeb

Actually, it doesn't matter if it's off or on. Google is not indexing any Bluesky post. I haven't seen a single Bluesky post appear since. Even on the Fediverse side, it's as if Google set it so Federated #SocialWeb posts don't show up because they can't tell which is the canonical link.

The social web is evolving: into open, decentralized spaces no single organization controls. The Social Web Foundation is building a global town square that works for everyone: E2E encryption, GDPR-ready privacy, a healthier fediverse.

Custom Fields on Mastodon Profile is a great feature.

Instagram has recently copied it; you can write on your profile what you are reading, watching, playing, etc.

Love to have it on Bluesky.

WhatsApp was a simple app for communication, but now it has too many features.

the fedi is inevitable but eventually can take a while.

It's been a little while. This is a fediverse test to see if my personal site is syndicating properly to bluesky.

I've added an activitystreams inbox to my indieweb blog. Only rhiaro can send me notifications though.:)
