I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!

I am a human and I am completely stumped by this captcha.
Does that prove that I'm human?
Maybe saying I'm human is exactly the thing a machine would state.
Maybe having that self-reflection proves I'm human.
Maybe AI has seen this kind of rambling enough to generate a post about being human and frustrated by a captcha.

very cool to see a quote from my recent writing on AI (https://citationneeded.news/ai-isnt-useless/) in a piece by Julia Angwin in the New York Times this morning!

@mtothevizzah atlas had just finished his own roll in the grass before i took this picture. nothing beats a grassy roll after a long winter, it seems!

i thought i loved spring until i got atlas. then i learned no one loves spring like atlas loves spring.

I really didn't want to start another subscription, but I had to give some support to Molly White @molly0xfff I was behind on her critical Citation Needed, and the post/audio from May 1 is exactly the call I needed to hear. We CAN have the web we want. We really can. https://www.citationneeded.news/we-can-have-a-different-web/

@dozymoe it's not entirely clear to me. some combination of "radio" and "only half the world would be fried" https://cryptoslate.com/even-if-this-weekends-solar-storm-destroyed-civilization-bitcoin-would-survive/

@dozymoe the crypto holdings would still be safe regardless, though if they were using a hardware or other digital wallet without offline backups they could certainly run into an issue...

"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

What's a phrase that shows you were both once cool in the past, and old in the present?

Here's mine: I had a beeper in high school.

@wesley83 i had a palm pilot, which proves i am old and also that i was never cool

the team behind Critical Role just launched its own subscription membership service called "Beacon"

pretty cool to see a creative team trying out a new model to give them so much control over their own content/platform

molly0xfff,
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

i'm sure it was a major and scary decision to branch out to their own platform, but the precarity of building on third-party platforms like twitch/youtube really can't be overstated

I've mostly only supported them through merch/etc since I'm always hopelessly behind on current seasons and don't need the early release, but now that it's going to them directly (and hopefully encouraging them and others to try these models) it's a no brainer sub

@geewee they did/do and I'm a huge fan of it!
