    Mastodon.social is being DDoS right now. That's bad. It was bad when Bluesky was DDoSed. It's bad when open social platforms are attacked.

    I am seething with rage. We cannot treat people like this, let alone fucking blind refugees who escaped a literal genocide enabled by US tech companies.

    Another problem with TikTok, X & Paramount's acquisitions by right wing extremists means that they literally own our cultural artifacts.

    Like the Ellisons own all the copyrights to 60 minutes archives. Elon owns all the URLs for Dril's tweets. He could repoint them to Mein Kampf if he wanted to.

    Yes this, but for 3 years ago when MAGA went on a successful racist vendetta to expel Nikole Hannah-Jones from one of the most prestigious journalism schools in the country, UNC. And then expelled Claudine Gay at Harvard.

    Right now, Dave's voluntary departure from the Washington Post to run his own indie news org sure seems clear eyed and prescient

    Rudy is out here very much living "we can just do things" with a "for each other" emphasis.

    This is the real fundamental challenge of the creator journalism age. Journalism outlets are institutions and can bring some fire power to some legal battles, or dissuade moneyed litigants from trying to destroy individual reporters.

    Talking with @karenho.bsky.social about <waves> all of this, made me realize the following:

    As a 40 something year old, it's fathomable that I can just outlast fascist 78 year old grandpa.

    But fascist 53 year old billionaire is an unavoidable problem.

    We can literally contribute to Blacksky, Eurosky etc to decentralize further.

    If you care about decentralization, donate, move your account to a non-bluesky PDS, and use apps other than Bluesky.

    The ecosystem isn't perfect, but we don't have to settle for complaining. We can do something about it!

    Publications like Mother Jones have had their insurance rates skyrocket because the targets of their investigations have enough money to drag them through multi-year legal processes.

    But if you _do_ want some AI help, Graze has an LLM you can prompt to build you a feed as well!

    Graze's LLM & feed builder also provides some explainability since you can look at the blocks that the LLM generates for you.

    I guess we gotta repeat it for the folks in the back:

    I've never seen a project like Blacksky over years of watching social platforms. It's remarkable in many ways.

    That Blacksky is out in front on both community and technical leadership is something the Atmosphere is incredibly fortunate to have.

    Something I wished people thought about more!

    Tomatoes, which seem like a staple of Italian cuisine weren't introduced to Europe until the 1540s!

    Potatoes didn't arrive until like the 1570s!

    Bluesky ranking 5th for community platforms which 30k respondents wish to use next year behind StackOverflow, StackExchange, Youtube and Github.

    That's pretty wild

    Strongly endorse this book and series. If you haven't read it, it's very worth it! Accessible, fun, thought provoking, and certainly relevant to our times.
