GOOD WEB GRAVEYARD For those of us interested in more ethical, user-focused social platforms, it’s worth understanding how these ventures can go wrong. To that end, start here at the Good Web Graveyard: a link compilation on departed websites that had marketed themselves in terms of ethics. Avoiding exploitative business models isn’t itself a guarantee of failure, but plenty of other things are, and by reading up on what’s gone defunct, we can learn to recognize the warning signs.

🚨 Dreamspace Dispatch Is Now Self-Hosted — Here’s Why 🚨 As of today, Dreamspace Dispatch is officially and completely hosted right here at home, on our own site. You’ll still get every episode on the same schedule. The only thing that’s changed is where you’re listening. Why the shift? Because some platforms—like Spotify and possibly YouTube—are beginning to require listeners and creators to submit government-issued IDs just to access or share content.

We're moving the podcast home. 🏡 No more hosting on platforms that ask for your ID. Dreamspace Dispatch now lives on our site—freely, securely, and without invasive policies.
