Was replying to devil's advocacy from @jwz regarding #Mastodon.

"How can you possibly think that this is how it is going to go?"

Reasonable, based on the track record of social media.

Except it's not "think". It's hope.
Which changes things, in ways most devs don't grok.🧵
@jwz, like myself, leans heavily towards the idea of a Federated Feed Reader... kind of the holy grail of what webloggers wanted with RSS over twenty years ago now. A non-kludgy way of sharing content AND comments transparently, between different servers.
Such a thing, it should be mentioned, was exactly the kind of thing that I remember a brilliant young kid justifiably antagonizing the creator of RSS about, because he was loathe to allowing its use in a way that would interconnect his walled garden blogging app.

@Amy21407287 A few things Indianapolis Colts related that I haven’t been able to get out of my head all season:
1) Colts —> CULTS
2) Colts Head Coach is Frank REICH… like “Third REICH” — aka Nazi Germany b/w 1933-1945.
3) P. L’Enfant designed DC & his Asst. platted Indy. (the “Square Mile”)
@Amy21407287 Is it weird that the City of London AND Indianapolis, Indiana (USA) are each known as the “SQUARE MILE” / “MILE SQUARE”?

@Amy21407287 • “BANKERS Life” (Indiana PACERS)
—> (also home to the WNBA’s “FEVER” which never struck me as weird til plandemic)
• the City of London has long been the “financial capital of the world”

1/🧵 Another week of exciting content on the #WalledCulture blog:
➡️ @glynmoody covered how digital images of #PublicDomain works get captured, why #artist nor #academics should sign away their rights, & why Singapore 🇸🇬 sets an example to follow with its updated Copyright Law 👇

1 / #OttoWarmbier
One of the tragedies of modern uber-digital society is its short memory and low retention. Do you remember #AaronSwartz? Do you even remember Dr. #ChristineBlaseyFord ?
Let not Trump's murderous complicity follow the same pattern.

2 / #OttoWarmbier - NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE (Trump and his dictator accomplices)

Don't let Otto's memory fade away. Trump betrayed the USA and Humanity itself by siding with a murderous dictatorship that tortured and sacrificed him.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warm…
3 / "Soon enough Otto was having fun again, for even though propaganda billboards showed North Korean missiles blasting the White House, the tour felt more like a bizarre charade than a visit to a hostile nation."
