Hey @rfkjr.facts - please turn on Fediverse sharing! Guarantee you a lot of us on over there would be very up for following and sharing your posts over there, too.

Here is how: https://www.theverge.com/24107998/threads-fediverse-mastodon-how-to

I wrote about how E2EE DMs are becoming a very real possibility for the social web. This would mean that Fediverse Threads users could potentially open DMs to their Mastodon, @Flipboard, and other social web mutuals without needing a separate account.

Very excited to see where @evanprodromou and @tomcoates take this research. More in the link below 👇🏼

The Milwaukee journal should not allow Trump wiggle room on “if everything is honest…”

The question needs to be, “if all states when done with counting and certifying and if after all of your court cases challenging voting results are settled— if after all that if you are still not the winner, will you accept that result?”

I love the trend of journalists starting up their own independent subscription newsletters / websites. I don't love that they're doing it on Substack.

In the long term, open web tech always beats proprietary.

She should step down now and let Biden fill her seat while we have White House and Senate for sure…after last week’s performance at the Supreme Court we cannot risk it.

In a surprise move, Mastodon now operates as a US entity! Featuring a new board of directors, and a 501c3 status, it's a new milestone for the project.

How we treat the animals in our lives - who are powerless and dependent on our care and responsibility - is a gigantic test of who we are as people.

“In my perfect world, the ‘Fediverse’ would kick into gear and allow people to just interact across different platforms,” Darcy said. In the absence of that infrastructure in place, Reliable Sources currently posts to Threads, Instagram, and Linkedin.... "

Here is for building for that perfect world. Fediverse Threads ...

This “final tweet” from Eddie Perez - the former Twitter director for civic integrity - is the very best rendition of X’s descent I’ve read in some time and closing with his Mastodon account is <chef’s kiss>…

“The answer is no, according to three agency executives who say it’s time to start exploring contingency plans that don’t hinge on any of the walled gardens of social media titans like Meta, X or TikTok. Looking for the next frontier, some are pointing toward the fediverse.”

“This has long been the dream, and it seems like the platforms betting on it in various ways — Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Flipboard, and others — are where all the energy is, while attempts to rebuild closed systems keep hitting the rocks.”

Some personal news: I'm now a contributor at @wedistributemedia! I'm so excited to work with the team over there reporting everything happening in the world of distributed social media.

For my first post, I wrote about @ghost joining the Fediverse 🙏🏼

What's exciting about this is that it isn't just an ActivityPub plugin - it's a top-down re-thinking about what Ghost is as a service. This is ActivityPub for publishers done right.

Congrats to @johnonolan and team! cc Fediverse Threads
