The fediverse has no central authority — which brings both challenges and opportunities for how it's governed. For Dot Social, @mike spoke with @kissane and @darius, two of the smartest people working on this, about the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on fediverse work, the "Xodus," what needs to be done next, and how to fund and sustain better networks for humans.

#LinkedIn - on the way to be a more toxic -social network - or on the way to just be something to train the Microsoft AI on? Or worst of both worlds?
The Canadian Globe and Mail's tech #podcast "Lately" has an episode about how "LinkedIn is weird now" and it shows what @pluralistic Cory Doctorow is showing again and again: Enshittification is happening!

It’s International Podcast Day and this year, I’ve been playing catch-up on some of my personal favorites* while adding a new one to the queue thanks to a CheapShow crossover episode—a little online talk show called Leighton Night with Brian Wecht. It’s a lovely blend of geeking out, dissecting bad books including Angels & Demons, and interviews with people from across the Internet.

Here are just a few of Vice President Kamala Harris’s accomplishments over the last 3.5 years. These are earlier stats and more has happened since. I will follow up in a post attached to this one. So many more facts to pass on about what her record is, including on THE POLITICRAT daily #podcast later this week. #HarrisWalz#HarrisWalz2024 #uspol #vote #voteblue#KamalaHarris

Kann #Wordpress ein Social-Network werden?
Der @decentered Podcast hat mit @pfefferle über seine Arbeit am #ActivityPub-Plugin gesprochen und ich habe noch einmal mehr über das #SocialWeb und Wordpress gelernt.

Überhaupt ist das ein interessanter Podcast für alle, die sich für das #fediverse interessieren.

#Podcastoholic? Me too!

Here's a brilliant long-form conversation on the Better Offline #podcast with @pluralistic, @brianmerchant and the host, Ed Zitron, speaking on the Luddites, on how the #tech industry has become a force for conservatism, has lost its ability to innovate, and good thoughts on how to address this.

Fantastic stuff. Soo worth the time. 😻
