Activist, Technologist, and Author @Cory Doctorow took time to talk to me about the future of social media, protocols, resisting enshitification, bluesky, the fediverse, and the world we're trying to build together.

Medium has been around for so long we might forget it’s important role in the social media ecosystem. @Tony Stubblebine, CEO of Medium, talked with me about Medium’s evolution, AI, their Reddit like content moderation system, and how they differ from substack.

Are fediverse clients blocking users and federation with UK users and servers? Or are they hoping they’re too small to face charges under the UK OSA? Or going full KYC on all of their users and servers? I mean how do you tell if someone has made a post about a knife in a dangerous way? It seems like compliance on an open network or with open source software is impossible.
