Fuck. A black man was found lynched on a Mississippi campus today "No foul play suspected" what the fuck, what the fuck
shit's fucked
Despite everything that has happened since, I still think the two blogposts I wrote about Bluesky/ATProto and decentralization have held up quite well. The big difference is that some other participants in the ecosystem are coming online, which is good (Blacksky's efforts in particular). I do think that we *are* seeing the beginnings of some of the technical concerns laid out in my posts, but maybe it's best to let things just play out more so the problems can better highlight themselves
things are going much better now than before and that's thanks to the people who are in my life being really good actually
You don't have to listen to me, but: Just a reminder that on the fediverse and on the ATmosphere to be careful about public comments that could be interpreted as a call to violence. Especially given recent events. Particularly on ATProto, which is designed to be fully public and indexed and certainly is, but also on the fediverse, which is mostly public enough in general too.
Hack & Craft, our online crafting and coding circle, is in approx half an hour! I'm gonna mend a skirt I made which turned out to have several messed up seams, and then who knows what else! What will you work on?
Me: the future doesn't have domain names. the domain name system is a form of centralization Also me: *throwing money on the altar of ICANN* please dear gods accept this sacrifice so I can keep these domains, many of which I have never used
hey remember when privacy
Oh is this the new scam Are we gonna see a million of these a day now Obviously, this is a phishing attack, but well, maybe it's less obvious to some. If you see a post like this, it's phishing. I have to say that icon for the "mastodon support desk headset" is kinda funny tho image
I'm handing over to the community! And I wrote a post about it I did the original design of activitypub.rocks 9 years ago and I haven't done much to keep it up to date. So the W3C SocialWG is taking over instead! As a nice sendoff, the blogpost also includes some fun AP history, which I detail a bit in this thread too ๐Ÿงต
