I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere @rude1.blacksky.team and/or the #blacksky team talk about blacksky cash? or something about working on monetisation/monetization in #ATproto?
Am I looking under the wrong rug or do I dream it? 😅
Considering how #interledger could work in the wider Fediverse

The UK government is stuck treating the symptoms, not the root cause of online harms.
Nothing changes until we break the business model that drives hate and extremism; the harvesting of our data to maximise engagement and fuel advertising.
It's time to #BreakBigTech.

Age walls could be erected at the government's whim.
New Henry VIII powers would give Ministers the ability to impose age verification across the Internet. And it goes way beyond social media.
We'll have to surrender our ID to unregulated providers for everyday access to information and services.

It's also *deliberately* disingenuous because we did explain AT and Eurosky at great length to their primary funder.
If I were launching a social media about truth and verification I'd, like, try not to lie but that's just me.
Anyway, some of us have work to do.

On March 2, we are going to try something different. Something in addition to the regular twice/year FediForum un-conference (so don't worry).
We will run an un-**workshop**, on a topic that many in the community have told us is very pressing for them:
How do we grow the Open Social Web?

I'm happy to say #Techgrumps is listed in the top 30 of UK tech podcasts by a list far too spammy for us to actually mention.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.
It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.
