Love or hate her, @Taylor Lorenz, has a ton of interesting things to say about social media. In my latest episode of revolution.social, we talk about free speech, social protocols, and the need to control your own infrastructure and tech.

Good listen. One thing I have to rant about: Folks need to stop dismissing concerns using the term “moral panic”. It’s bad faith and ineffective. This is about as effective as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” / “you said the same things about George W Bush” like no, I literally didn’t. It’s like dismissing climate concerns because people 100 years said streets would fill with horse manure. People sounding the alarm have been correct about many things, like smoking causes cancer and lead poisoning is bad.

Yeah, business model being advertisers not the best choice. Innovation and user experience over that any day. Interestingly though walled gardens are going up everywhere now, even more now, slowly but surely. Yet advertising wants to reach as many people as possible. Some sort of conflict there. I was writing about bonnier news for my final exam this week, and they too, are like priorities, is it subscription sign-up walled gardens or free-to-view for advertisers? Awesome talk Rabble, Taylor started in retail too, co-worker got her online, love that :)
I just went to Taylor’s account and saw activity pub underneath name. I used to wonder why that appears in global a lot nostr Damus iOS. So in global feed when activity pub is there, that means is coming from like mastodon or bluesky, and you can follow, but they can’t follow back. I think that’s what that means. I think I’m gonna read that nostr journal article from Japan scholars to understand better. image
Wow. Ok. Yeah, cause when I was on global on initial days cause @ was confusing people and I tried to assist, it wasn’t as apparent. But like when some network effects were happening, you would see it and in great numbers all over global. I’m just sorry I didn’t understand this sooner. Thanks Rabble.
