This is a great conversation between @evan, Mike Masnick, and a rep from Threads.

Threads guy just asked Masnick, couldn’t Bluesky be just as successful on ActivityPub? That’s a good question!!

Ok I finished LURKING by @jomc and can’t recommend it enough! Absolutely brilliant history of the internet and what we have done to ourselves with it, written from a personal perspective and on the ground experience dating back to the earliest connected forums all the way up through the current age of enshittification.

Get it!! bookshop.org/p/books/lurking-h

McNeil’s new book WRONG WAY comes out next week!!! bookshop.org/p/books/wrong-way

Tootin' my own horn here, but my bookmark feed, powered by @casey's postmarks app, is pretty good.

Available as RSS and also followable on Fedi. Sometime this week I need to pull in the latest code and then make a custom design.
