Given the toxic environment @elonmusk is personally creating here I will no longer be posting on Twitter other than to advocate for the advancement of the open social web. Follow me there via Mastodon or Bluesky.

Hello again! Here's our piece from Sunday about Twitter. Bye! youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG_xWY…

“This is the hardest time I’ve ever had covering a crisis on here. Credible links are now photos. On the ground news outlets struggle to reach audiences without an expensive blue check mark. Xenophobic goons are boosted by the platform’s CEO."

At an important time like this, having links just post as pictures makes twitter unusable -- at a practical, fundamental level -- as a place to share checkable information.
Mike McCue retweeted
the level of disinformation on israel-hamas war being algorithmically promoted on twitter is unlike anything i’ve ever been exposed to in my career as a political scientist.

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away.
Super pissed
Check out our new AI powered Flipboard Tech feed for Bluesky and let me know what you think. It ingests the Bluesky firehose and then selects posts relevant to tech using a longformer model we train monthly with ~10M documents.

Today we announced the addition of PixelFed and Bluesky to our social web integrations on Flipboard.
Now you can see posts from Mastodon, PixelFed, Bluesky and, of course, Flipboard all in the same user experience.

By the way, I'm collecting photography stories in my @FlakPhoto Reads magazine. If you're on @Flipboard and you dig pictures, please check it out: flipboard.com/@flakphoto/fla…

Very cool — I love the social magazine concept. Thanks for this update, Team! @Flipboard @miaq @mmccue about.flipboard.com/inside-f…
Apparently Twitter no longer renders shared links to @substack articles. So here's a screen shot and a link to the article I was referring to.

Appalling but not surprising. Another reason to switch to either @mastodon or @bluesky on the social web where moderation is taken seriously and innovation is happening.

You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way and a new onboarding experience is launching today. Read more here:

Wow. Calling @artifact a competitor to @twitter is clutching at straws. That is a terribly executed mess of an app. I can think of it as the 10 print of a hand stenciled copy machine of something that already exists and is very good. Maybe @vox should check out @Flipboard 😂 vox.com/technology/2023/4/15…
What a disaster this whole thing has become.

Today @pierce posted an excellent write up about #ActivityPub and all the surrounding innovation happening in the #Fediverse right now.

“Instagram makes people depressed & #Twitter makes people angry... Which is better?” For Tapbots, it’s clearly #Mastodon, where it can once again build its product its way — and remind Elon Musk: you have no power here."
