So good!

I’m not trying to argue that ActivityPub is better than the AT Protocol, or the opposite. They both have their pros and cons, but most users (me included) don’t actually care about the protocol, they care about the culture. I like the “vibe” here more, so I’m here and not on Mastodon.

Yes it is, but it’s not quick. It takes some time to transfer to another instance and I’m not sure it would work while one of them is being DDoSed. I think the differences between ActivityPub and the AT Protocol are interesting here, they both have their strengths and weaknesses in this situation.

mastodon.social is just one instance which runs on Mastodon, this one happens to be run by Mastodon itself.

Designers who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

I think there's a dire need of good designers, UX people, copy editors, etc. beyond just devs to get this message across. People figured out how to use e-mail. There's a human element to technology that can't be ignored, don't let a lack of coding skills prevent you from contributing ideas.

way too many of y’all suffer from terminal hindsight bias, nostalgia chasing, and rosy retrospection… your desires to “make the internet great again” are not only misguided but dangerous too — conservatism is creeping in to peoples’ psyches at an alarming rate

Have you gone video exclusive? I’m not getting your new episodes in my podcast player

America has officially lost the plot

Very smart! Maybe you should also be able to set a preferred location to work? Could be a continent, timezone, country, or state I guess.

I'm now a @framer.com Expert! Coming from Webflow, I'm really liking Framer so far. It's as easy to use as Figma, but it gives you a lot of options with custom code and code components.

Title card for Amazonia, featuring a custom logotype whose letterforms were drawn from satellite imagery of the Amazon River itself, set against an aerial sunset view of the river and its forested islands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Satellite imagery showing the river sections from eight Brazilian states, Amazonas, Acre, Pará, Roraima, Tocantins, Rondônia, Maranhão, and Amapá, each image revealing the specific meander or bend that was traced to form a letter in the Amazonia logotype.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Amazonia logotype overlaid on an illustration by artist Winny Tapajós, densely packed with Amazonian imagery including tropical flora, wildlife, traditional architecture, and regional foods, all rendered in vivid folkloric style against a deep green background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The letters for Amazonia’s new logo were extracted from satellite images of the river itself 🤯

FilmFeed by David Imel on Surf Surf - A collection of film photography artists, YouTube channels, and podcasts. Curated by David Imel.

I know it's been said already, but @davidimel.com's FilmFeed on @surf.social is absolutely beautiful! I'm *joyscrolling* through the look tab, and enjoying every second of it

I know right? It's the show's logo, I think it matches Surf's aesthetic very nicely :)

Made some updates! Seems like no unrelated posts are getting through now, which is a little tricky with a name like Jet Lag lol

It's an account for Atmosphere apps.

It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet".

It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time.

Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community.

Don't overcomplicate it.
