All the elements that makes the major platforms harmful to humans in general all make it equally or more hostile to online organizing, too. Convinced the open social web is future of organizing. nymag.com/intellige…

Bookmarks for mobile and desktop web browsers should be totally reinvented & made fully (securely and with permission per bookmark) enabled to be federated to the Open Social Web. And the browser that should do it first is #Vivaldi.

Fully agree: switched to #Vivaldi after losing faith in #Firefox management and zero regrets. Only a better experience. www.makeuseof.com/why-switc…

Made me laugh. (But I’m easy)

Be safe tonight LA friends. Stay peaceful and don’t take the bait. #iceprotests #losangeles

States rights touting Republicans are awfully quiet right now. #losangeles

“We’re very clearly entering a moment of grave danger. My main thought about this is to remember – as we’ve said in other contexts – that the fight to preserve the American republic remains fundamentally one over public opinion….” talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/br…

Hmmm. I am wishing well to my LA friends tonight. Stay safe. Do not let them bait you. #LosAngeles #Trump #IceProtests

#OpenSocialWeb FTW! #fediforum #ATmosphere

More solid press coverage of the great new apps showcased at #fediforum yesterday 👉 www.theverge.com/news/6808…

This is a great summary of #Fediforum Day One, and I’m looking forward to Day Two. www.luisquintanilla.me/posts/fed…

#Wedistribute has #FediForum live coverage here: wedistribute.org/2025/06/f…

I’m having ot pop in and out of the #Fediforum due to work but want to udpate my #Surfapp and Bluesky feeds for Open Social Web apps as new ones appear at the show. wedistribute.org/2025/06/f… Anyone there who can help me put the social handles of new ones in comments.

#Fediforum is coming! Follow breaking news on this feed on #Surfapp: surf.social/feed/surf… or this feed on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/d… #OpenSocialWeb

Well written review of #surfapp beta from Mike Saas:

“I wasn’t sure what the app would do for me that my already-well-curated…timelines wasn’t doing. But then, I built my first custom feed. From there, I started to see the potential…”

A note: I now use #Microblog for over half my social posting, cross-posting feaatures to Bluesky, Medium, Threads, Tumbr, etc….& I now use #Surfapp from #Flipboard for over half the time - to read, engage, & reply on Bluesky, Mastodon, and many RSS feeds. Open Social Web FTW!

I’m still getting up to speed on #MCPservers, but from what I have learned so far, I tend to agree with Anil. www.anildash.com//2025/05/…

Hmmm. Interesting, Brazil. Will be 👀… restofworld.org/2025/braz…
