🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Flipboard’s Surf app is a big new idea about the future of social'

- kudos:

I don’t see myself pivoting away from Reeder, but this looks interesting, and I want to see more of this kind of app out there. link to “Flipboard’s Surf app is a big new idea about the future of social”

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Pluralistic: Social media needs (dumpster) fire exits (14 Dec 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow'

- kudos:

Some more reflection by Doctorow on Bluesky and Mastodon. link to “Pluralistic: Social media needs (dumpster) fire exits (14 Dec 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow”

- kudos:

For the first time in a few years, I’m sorting feed subscriptions into folders instead of having a “monofeed.” Combined with Reeder’s lack of unread counts, I’m pleasantly surprised how this has encouraged more mindfulness in subscribing and checking feeds.

- kudos:

Next self-imposed challenge for improving my website-first approach to social media: How can I “repost” content from either Mastodon, Bluesky, or Micro.blog in a way that embeds it in the post on my site but then links to (or otherwise shares) it when that post goes out to those platforms?

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Bluesky, AI, and the battle for consent on the open web'

- kudos:

Lots of interesting reflections here. link to “Bluesky, AI, and the battle for consent on the open web”

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research''

- kudos:

It’s uncomfortable for me to think about how close my “digital traces” research is to surveillance and YOLO data mining. link to “Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for ‘Machine Learning Research’”

- kudos:

Reorganizing folders in my RSS/Mastodon/Bluesky client is making me curious about how emoji get alphabetized.

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Inside Bluesky’s big growth surge'

- kudos:

Lots of interesting stuff in here, including the difficulty of content moderation, and yet another way that generative AI is screwing everything up. link to “Inside Bluesky’s big growth surge”

setting up an iOS image posting POSSE workflow for Hugo

- kudos:

Several days ago, I posted that: One of the biggest gaps in my current website-first approach to social media is an inability to snap a picture and quickly post it. I’ve wanted to tackle this for a while, but an upcoming cool vacation has me thinking I should really go for it. A couple of days later, I realized I wasn’t alone in this when Alex Sirac picked up the post on their website, and it got another sympathetic comment there, too.

- kudos:

It’s been messy, but pretty sure I’ve finally figured out how to post images to my website (and from there to social media) from my phone.

some thoughts on joining Bluesky, maintaining platform independence, and tweaking Mastodon

- kudos:

It’s now been over two years since I ditched Twitter, and I recently made the decision to go ahead and outright delete the account rather than leave it there to ward off imposters. It’s been really interesting to explore the new landscape of social media during this time, and I wanted to put together a post with some of my current thoughts. I’m on Bluesky now, I guess? First, I set up a Bluesky account a number of weeks ago, and I’ve been following other Bluesky accounts for a while (first via RSS, now via the Reeder app alongside RSS), but I’ve finally started actually using it since the election, which seems to be sparking some new interest in ditching Twitter.

- kudos:

Il y a beaucoup plus de photos de train sur mes fils Mastodon et Bluesky qu’il y en avait sur mon fil Twitter, et ça donne de la joie.

- kudos:

Despite all the Bad Stuff happening right now, what my brain has chosen to get anxious about this morning is how I have my RSS + Micro.blog + Mastodon + Bluesky reader set up.

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow'

- kudos:

I appreciate these thoughts from Doctorow. I understand the excitement around Bluesky, I’m happy to follow people there, and I will likely lean into it more as a POSSE vector. That said, I still don’t know that it’s what I want the future of social media to look like. link to “Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow”

the new Reeder is exactly the app I want right now

- kudos:

introduction and history I’ve experimented for a while with consuming a range of media through an RSS reader. I don’t remember how long I subscribed to Feedbin, but being able to follow both Twitter accounts and email newsletters in the same app as my RSS subscriptions was a real game-changer. Eventually, I jumped ship for NetNewsWire—I don’t remember all the reasons behind the switch, but knowing that I could keep subscribing to Twitter and start following some subreddits was definitely a major factor.

small victories in home maintenance

- kudos:

Prominent among my assorted shortcomings as a spouse and parent is a near-total ineptitude in the realm of home maintenance and repair (as evidenced by my previous posts on the subject). So, a few years ago, when our house’s carbon monoxide detector started its dystopian shrieking in the middle of the night to let us know that its battery was low, I blearily woke up, tore it out of the wall, disassembled it until it stopped sounding like something out of 1984, and decided to worry about it in the morning.

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'What’s the Difference Between Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads?'

- kudos:

This is a helpful EFF overview that I’m posting to bookmark for later. link to “What’s the Difference Between Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads?”

- kudos:

I have zero personal interest in joining Bluesky, but I’m happy that you can follow accounts via RSS and even happier that whatever bug was stopping my RSS reader from pulling posts has been resolved. Glad to be following some people I haven’t seen since Twitter.
