A man in a tie in front of a pin board with tons of paper and ribbons tying together, a conspiracy type board. The man has wide eyes and is kind of crazy looking.

I recently attended a Salesforce Marketing workshop in Austin, TX and quickly found myself drowning in products and SKUs I did not know. After a day or two of research, I hope I don't end up coming off like this meme in my article.

FR#156 – Share Where? On Mastodon's new Share button, and protocol ownership.

in this week's article I talk about Mastodon's new Share button, and how a network that cares strongly about open protocols gradually became dependent on proprietary protocols instead

I really enjoyed this conversation with @rabble.nz. It's an expansive discussion: we take in VC, journalism, AI, the open social web, and even Elgg, my very first startup and open source community platform. I hope you like it too.

I've been asked to do a five minute interview on BBC Radio's "Radio Breakfast" on Friday 27 Feb to talk about the current social media landscape and the new Tŵt app!!

It's interesting and reinforcing to me to hear people see "new app" and equate that with "new project" or "new social network" […]

To that end, I've teamed up with my friend @j12t.org, who runs @fediforum.org to put together an online "un-workshop" to explore different ways of growing the open social web! fediforum.org/2026-03-grow...

Do you miss writing code? That grand moment something works is almost an intoxicant when you're working on something new, at least for me.

Do you get the same excitement from setting up instructions for Agents to follow? (this is a real ask, not being sarcastic or looking to start a fight)

Just a boring link. Mastodon wins this round.

A package of gum with little gum characters. The name of the gum is “Sensitive Gum” and the characters have worried faces, saying things like “I’m sad”, “Am I enough?” And “Why”

Are there any open APIs left? One of the dreams of Web 2.0 was that website would speak unto website. An "Application Programming Interface" (API) would give programmatic access to structured data, allowing services to seamlessly integrate content from each other. Users would be able to quickly grab data from multiple sources and use them for their own purposes. No registration or API keys, no tedious EULAs or meetings. Just …

Yes, the website is currently non-existent. @thisismissem.social is still building it. Patience young padawan.

The entire integration was setup to fail, on purpose, from the start. Turning it on, keeping it on both filled with crazy warning prompts...so many blockades at every turn.

It will be maintained so they can show the platform is “open” on paper. Really hoped for better.
