@molly0xfff is a leading cryptocurrency critic, but get to know her and you’ll see she’s anything but cynical about the future of the web. Hear why this researcher, writer and software engineer thinks so in this fascinating conversation with @mike:
Molly White is one of the most thoughtful writers and thinkers on the web today. In addition to being a high functioning crypto critic, @molly0xfff is a believer and practitioner in crafting the next era of the web.
Molly believes that human connections are an inextricable part of the web and sees a bright future ahead as those connections move from walled gardens to the open web.

Great to hear @molly0xfff's thoughts on not just the fediverse but lots of #dweb and #indieweb technology.
The points about UX are so right, been thinking about this a lot.
Portability, attribution and ownership are also key
Thank you @mike and the @Flipboard team for producing these #dotsocial podcasts
When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:
In order for the open social web to happen at scale, lots of companies and apps, big and small, need to adopt #ActivityPub. Threads is the largest player so far to do this and the implications are huge.
Why is #Threads doing this? Is federation just another feature or is it foundational to their entire experience? How is the Threads team thinking about moderation, monetization and privacy in these early days and going forward?
I asked @rklambo and @pcottle, two thoughtful and genuine leaders on the Threads team who joined me on the latest episode of #DotSocial. Check it out on our #PeerTube instance or wherever you get your podcasts.
maybe you were trying to push them in this direction, but what we need from somebody as powerful as #meta is help building a decentralized #w3c standard to transfer money (not crypto). as easy as sending $5 from me@mybank.com to you@yourbank.com with the ability to build apps around it. To directly pay for servers, apps, media etc. I don't see how it would help them but it's so needed and it would probably require their resources and connections to make happen. #FedNow
Looks like the New Interface for #MastodonSocial#DotSocial doesn't run in #IceCat on my (now-fixed after nearly 3 months) PC! The error is Uncaught TypeError: Object.hasOwn is not a function, which is presumably because IceCat doesn't use the latest JS (it's something like a couple of years behind FF), but that shouldn't be a reason to break on it! I hope this new interface isn't rolled out to here too! #MastoDev@Gargron
FediForum 2024 is almost here! Flipboard CEO @mike catches up with conference co-organizer and Dazzle Labs CEO @J12t to get a taste of top-of-mind topics for fediverse stewards, including how this space can cross the chasm into the mainstream. It’s a new episode of Dot Social, the first podcast about the open social web.
Flipboard CEO @mike interviewed leaders at the forefront of the open social web movement for the Dot Social podcast. Here's how to follow everyone he spoke to.
The Fediverse gives @coachtony “early internet vibes.” The Medium CEO joins Flipboard CEO @mike to discuss what’s wrong with the attention economy, why human curation still matters, and how decentralized social media is enabling entrepreneurs to “rethink everything.”
