New from me: Let's talk about those polls. https://open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltrightdelete/p/polling-and-the-youths?r=bin0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

(Real talk for a moment)

I’ve been at this for days and I suppose it’s time to ask for help for the community.

I really really really want to fundraise for charities or non-profits dedicated to the research and treatment of parasitic infections. (Like brainworms)

But I want you to feel confident I’m not just taking the money so I want to use a platform that just directly provides the funds. I can’t seem to find something that doesn’t want me to set up my own non-profit. Maybe I’m just a 🪱👇

timothyjchambers,

My suggestion - one pro-heath pro-vacine org, and then maybe a progressive group working to beat RFK at the ballot box... Maybe @indivisibleteam ?

People are having a hard time understanding the Fediverse, a standard that'll decentralize and democratize social media so something as disruptive as Elon Musk's Twitter takeover can't happen again.

The standard called ActivityPub will loosen the grip of each platform owning your connection with your community of followers. Allowing others on different platforms to follow you and see your Threads and you following others not on Threads spreads the risk and gives you and your followers options.

It sounds bad when you put it that way.

Love that they are building in public and sharing how they are evolving to support the Fediverse…. Fediverse Threads

A bit of internet history for the open social web… Fediverse Threads

WormWatch Evening Update:

Just like a Christmas gift from a relative you've never met, today's results were kind of a bummer. @rfk.jr.brain.worm isn't slowing, but there was no acceleration, either. 10k may have to wait another day. Prove me wrong, internet. Be more like a Christmas gift from a very perceptive parent and blow me away when I wake up tomorrow morning.

timothyjchambers,

Love this daily update of one of the first viral satire accounts on Threads.

Important voice on state of polling for President….Worry about everything, panic over nothing, and channel anxiety into organizing.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, California lawyer Nicole Shanahan, is not shying away from the revelation that Kennedy once suffered from a brain-eating parasitic worm. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/rfk-brainworm-domain-shanahan/?utm_source=threads-dd&utm_medium=organic-social

I think Threads is fantastic, I use it daily, and I also think journalists need and deserve an alternative to Threads, one that is more real-time.

Not sure what that is. A little disappointed more of us haven't tried to make it happen on Mastodon, but I understand why. (Heck, even I've mostly stopped using Mastodon.)

Where is my federated, all-journalists-and-news-organizations-are-there-and-treat-it-as-essential-to-news-gathering-and-dissemination service?

timothyjchambers,

I do hope that @mosseri and team do figure a way to surface real-time content better, not just for hard news but for breaking real time sports, etc.... They seem adamant that a simple reverse chron option is a no-go, as they claim that it would lead to spam. (Not sure I follow that idea but OK)...If they don't do a strictly reverse chron, I do hope they keep iterating to find something about as good for breaking, real time, events.

Tonight watching the 2003 original mini series that kicked off Battlestar Galactica series that followed.

Kinda amazing at how well it holds up - editing, pacing, production design and practical effects, incredible acting and world building…even the 2003 cgi effects aren’t distracting at worst and at best shots still impressive. Well done.

Hey @profgalloway - I know you had a mastodon account for a short bit, but given that you are now active on Threads, can you turn on Fediverse sharing ? One setting change & then folks on Mastodon, Flipboard, and other fediverse platforms can also follow your threads account from there too. One click in settings = greater social reach.

Lots of us over there would love to follow this account from there, too.
Here is how: https://www.theverge.com/24107998/threads-fediverse-mastodon-how-to

Am voting by mail tomorrow. Hope we see one more poll showing who is the stronger candidate against Hogan. But my current lean is toward Angela Alsobrook....

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica '04 on Amazon Prime (Thank you Amazon). What an amazing, heartfelt adventure that was. It's really gonna be hard to top this.

timothyjchambers,

Agreed.

The thing I dislike most about the Threads algo is how it drops people from my feed for weeks on end. I'll randomly see someone I haven't in a while and get excited to welcome them back, only to realize they've been active this whole time.

This doesn't happen when I catch up on Threads using Phanpy, my Mastodon client, but not everyone has their Fedi switch on so I come here to catch up on those posts. Sad to see I'm still losing out.

Anyway, I hope more people turn on Fediverse Threads 🫶🏼

timothyjchambers,

You'll notice a pattern, it's fully selfish: folks it's folks I'm very glad to follow here, and like you mentioned, following on Mastodon is another great plus from a UX standpoint.

And I've been very happy to see the percentage of big accounts that have turned on Fediverse sharing when you simply ask them to, say why it helps and link to articles like the @verge example that show how to do it.
