Discord's down, GitHub's about to lose the last 9 of uptime
But we're still kicking

Last week, I posted a question on Mastodon to check if people are using Elk. We got a massive response and some interesting insights. In this video I go through the data and what it means for the future of Elk.

imo @mackuba gets at the heart of the difference here. but people need both if these networks will be more than entertaining. Twitter has historically been a smaller social media network but extremely important because of how it has dominated news and discourse. obviously that's why it was […]
I wonder if the fedi struggles because it's too good to be believed.
"You're saying you're just trying to free us from advertising and corporate control? No strings? Bullshit. Everybody's got an angle."

Certainly interesting.

The corporate platforms are not doing "social media". They are not letting the public decide which creative works get the most attention. They are data mining us to decide who sees what in the interests of their advertisers, profit and how they want to influence society. Their algorithms enable […]

Our _Fediverse & Social Web_ track has been accepted for @COSCUP 2026 (Taipei, Aug 8–9)! We'll have a full day—six hours—to fill with talks on the #fediverse, #ActivityPub, and the open social web.
The CFP for speakers isn't open yet, but we'll announce it here when it is. Stay tuned! […]
In light of the rulings against social media platforms, can we please try to distinguish between them and decentralized networks without algos or ads? Maybe do some research comparing the two. Develop different terms. You know, before governments (and their "happy to kill their competitors" mass […]
Beware of reputation laundering! Looks like the DataFarmers have paid some marketing pod people to try to co-opt the phrase 'Social Web' to include the legacy social media platforms it's being built as a replacement for. Or some pod people just decided there's money to be made in doing that off […]

📉 DAI теряет децентрализацию: внутри USDC и TradFi. MakerDAO продвигает USDS с функцией заморозки. Виталик Бутерин в 2026 призывает к свободе, но гонка за прибылью уводит проекты в сторону контроля. Главный парадокс года. 🍿🏦

You know, it’s entirely possible to use ATProto without touching anything owned by Bluesky proper
Pretending that Bluesky is the whole of ATProto is like pretending the whole of the Fediverse is Mastodon

there's a solution and it will last but it's going to take work from all of us. build the #SocialWeb on #ActivityPub. no algos. truly decentralized.
explain what's wrong with the other systems and why a little more complexity is worth it. promote a […]
AFAIK Link is a #blacksky user who is banned by #bluesky and thus non-existent to anyone using their by-far-the-most-popular app view on the #ATproto #ATmosphere. Rudy referred to this on the new @rabble.nz podcast. This is similar to being on another fedi server but blocked by mastodon dot […]
We were being told to stop criticizing #bluesky and what their VC funding might mean, at the same time that their team knew that they had secretly taken much more than before from the same kinds of sources we were concerned about.
And of course this meant they could build on #ATproto much […]
We are entering a strange internet era where seeing is no longer believing.
AI generated videos are changing how truth spreads across social platforms.

[Original post on socialwebfoundation.org]
The goal should be that the fediverse or #SocialWeb not be a separate thing but instead an attention layer on the open web. That every bit of text, audio or video can go viral via human boosts like a post here. With replies attached. Then what we make for public consumption can all become social […]
A screenshot of the Private Mentions interface in FediReader showcasing its similarities to a standard chat interface instead of a post interface
Private mentions are starting to look really good in #FediReader
Hoping to add a few more tweaks before the next release

I hate calling it all "social media". The problem is corporate platforms with algos they control. Where they abuse us for their profit. This kind of curation should void #Section230 protections the rest of us need.
So I agree but fear a failure to make this distinction, and see a motivation for […]
The problem with political influence campaigns on social media (paid or not) goes away on decentralized networks without ads or algos. They can't do anything to get your attention. You're immune. Unless they tag you but that should be treated like spam.
And for this reason, nobody who wants to […]
