Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

It seems to me like a lot of people haven't followed the details of why folks have issues with Substack, and basically assume that leaving the platform for moral or social reasons just automatically means giving up money.

But I don't think that's supported by the actual math.

One thing that's worth repeating: There is *zero* evidence that "substack helps you get readers". The only thing that we've ever seen that helps grow an audience is other authors mentioning your blog or newsletter, which is not the platform's doing. Substack just takes credit for that!

Section 230 Is Dying By A Thousand Workarounds, And Massachusetts Just Added Another One We’ve been warning for a while now that Section 230 is dying by a thousand legal workarounds rather than a straightforward repeal, and the hits just keep coming. A few weeks ago, I wrote abou…

What kinds of issues? Adding @surf-support-team.bsky.social to help.

was just messing with @surf.social and it's surprisingly emotional. I made a feed for my local neighborhood and immediately could see local newspapers, businesses, residents, and city govt activity. Its beautiful, and completely impossible on social platforms. You can only do this on the open web.

Filmfeed.surf.social is looking sweet in dark mode.

Love hearing that. Keep me in the loop if you find other things you need.

Panel with Bluesky and Mastodon at the International Journalism Festival

Felix, CEO of Mastodon, and I hope to collaborate more. Mastodon has wide adoption in Europe and 8k communities (servers) running independently. The customization they give communities is inspiring to me. Public squares should be a gathering place for you to discover cozier corners/communities.

Using Surf this tonight? If so, enjoy the new dark mode :-)

how's it working for you now Jack?

@martyjrose.bsky.social any suggestions for Patrick?

Looking forward to this. Send your questions. The NFL draft is almost here!

Love this! Creator AMAs happening in Bluesky feeds made with Surf and available to anyone on the web.

How AT&T created the most iconic phone ever On Version History: The phone almost everybody had.

The season 3 finale of Version History is an absolute banger, and yes, it's about rotary telephones. It's also about patent drama and AT&T's monopoly and how one company can come to rule just about everything

Hi Joel, will do!

Seems like the DC media should be asking every rep or Senator who votes for a clean reauth if they read Wyden's letter...

Social traffic kinda stinks for news publishers now, in 3 charts Globally, Chartbeat clients' traffic from Twitter has fallen by 70% since 2022, when Elon Musk acquired the platform.

Search traffic is way down for news publishers, thanks to AI summaries, but clicks from social media are dropping too. NiemanLab looks at Chartbeat's data for traffic and time spent on publishers' sites from X and Facebook.
