 With @Ryan Alexander @Wendy M. Grossman @eastmad and myself @Ian Forrester | @cubicgarden With a seriously worrying scenario for UK citizens using X/Twitter It's REALLY time to get off before you end up on a list!

Good to hear @Podnews podcasting news's predications for #2026. https://pod.link/podnewsweeklyreview/episode/QnV6enNwcm91dC0xODQ3ODIyMA Even better to hear #adptivepodcasting being mentioned (38:00 - SMIL podcasting) by @npub1thg9...zq23 & @James Cridland Maybe too advanced for its time in 2023, but certainly something which could be the future path of podcasts with the right imagination and technology stack. The codebase is still open and public here -

 The evolution of the Fediverse is hard to predict – there are parts of it that we can’t imagine, just as, in the days of the early web, I could never have imagined something like Google search – or Github, or a webcomic ike XKCD. The system will emerge organically, and I can’t predict what other wonderful things will be built on top of it. With Solid, with AI, with Bluesky, Matrix and Mastodon, with RSS and a podcasting revival
