  • Toot

    It seems like #Twitter pro-democracy users are not just fleeing but being driven away, in order to de-platform and fragment this group. Is there a way #mastodon could ever become the same sort of “central” meeting/finding/discussing place? On the surface, this seems difficult because of certain Mastodon design/features, most important the lack of algorithmic discovery.… Continue reading

  • Tweet

    Twitter is a central meeting place. Recent changes seem to be aimed at denying a platform/place to pro-democracy thinkers, through bans, harassment, or disgust. What else is there to connect? #Mastodon? Older techs? #Blogs? #RSS? Email #listserv??? https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/experimenting-jekyll-relatable-posts/ Link Continue reading

Oddly, we must keep using Twitter for now to stay connected. Meanwhile we need to be saving names for regrouping later on a new place. Continue reading

  • The Ur-post

    One thing I’ve been wondering about (in all my musings on #microblogging) is the relationships among sources and references. Earlier, I speculated that all blogging is only reference, because an #rss feed is just a sign to a #blog post. Interestingly, it’s a robust sign. Some feeds are so robust that they are copies of… Continue reading

  • The Semiotics of Networked Content

    Working on content interop super-ontology in the #mastodon, #micro.blog, #twitter, #feedland, and #wordpress multiverse. Posts are actual pieces of content. They are mostly made on the platform where you find them. Timelines are views into (yours and others’) posts. These views are made possible by transmitting information about the post via #RSS (or something else)… Continue reading
