"It's so hard to get a message out across a decentralised network. It's so hard to apply something like the OSA to a decentralised network. But, whether we want to or not, we have to work this out for the future of the Open Social Web."
My latest post looking at the recent scam wave on Mastodon is live now!
I was inspired recently by a conversation about Bluesky becoming a political echo chamber.
But, after some thought, I'm not sure the politics are the problem. I think it's the behaviour of the 'alternative' platforms.
If we can rethink how we communicate online, encourage people to be more respectful, to be politer, maybe we can fix the echo chamber issue. Maybe we could even fitx some of the big world issues?
Had a great holiday away from the open social web and in the ✨️ real world ✨️

I feel like I'm going crazy listening to panel after panel at #IJF25 talk about needing an EU alternative to Big Tech.
There is one! Yet, they don't want to be on it or fund it 😤

Threads joining the social web was, to me, a good thing. Yes, Meta are about as welcome as a hyena on ketamine. But, people use Meta products.
Now, we have to think again.
