Twitter wasn’t all that, even before Musk gutted it. And Threads is not a big step up from that. Social media needs reinventing. This model has been with us for 17 years. We need a laboratory for new ideas and user experiences.
That’s only going to happen in the fediverse. Where once, no one had an internet address, the same will be true of fedi IDs. Sooner than later, I hope.

It wasn’t journalists, tech bros, and influencers who made the Internet a thing. It was librarians, scientists, educators, and programmers.

In 2014, I said this on Twitter ⏵
"I wish more people would understand that holding the media accountable is just as important as holding government accountable."
It's probably the biggest reason I have the followers I have. But I wish we all heeded me more a bit more back then. I was more correct than even I knew at the time.

This Fediverse thing is so invigorating. I feel like I've been in one long brainstorming session since Friendster collapsed.

I feel like I've joined a social network spa.
