Last session for the day is an interview with @davidimel on a very special live episode of @dot_social

While recorded live, I believe it will be released online a bit later, so stay tuned!

Off to a good start with a discussion of the need for more drunk posting on the fediverse.

#FediverseHouse

It’s a bit loud in here y’all but I’m trying to focus. There were some discussions about the reluctance of podcasters to be in platforms without ad revenue. David is interested in something like sub.club but feels like it’s a tough sell. Similar with Patreon. Difficult to get enough paid subscribers to make up for the difference.

Gonna have to listen to this again when it gets published.

“ActivityPub is the big sister of RSS” - Mike McCue

A few points I’ve heard today:

Get people off centralized social media however you can

Focus on getting “normies” onboarded and staying around

Hide the complexities of federation - make it fun and easy.

I truly get the term “normies” but ouch. Also as the fediverse expands with more of them, our current community will create or find their own smaller safer spaces again.

Work on that has already started with the concepts of allow list federation.

@box464 thanks for the updates!

Out of curiosity, other than Molly White, did any women speak today?

@thenexusofprivacy Not on stage.

@box464 thanks. and I saw that people from Threads and a Meta-funded non-profit were presenting ... was their any discussion of #FediPact and the resistance to Meta?

@thenexusofprivacy Funny you mention that. Not on stage but among some fedi devs here definitely discussed.

@box464 Interesting. Thanks!
