Social Web

The current moment we're in reminds me of the early days of the web.

From Bluesky to Mastadon to Ghost's latest social initiative, the social media landscape is being disrupted.

The Twitter/X fiasco has only accelerated what was already cooking.

What I find so cool about Bluesky in particular is that it's powered by an open technology called atproto (atmosphere protocol). Kinda like how websites are powered by http (hypertext transfer protocol) under the hood and not owned by any one big corporation.

Another interesting initiative is Free Our Feeds, launched in January. It's mission is to free social media from billionaire control (more context from The Verge). Their goal is to develop a social ecosystem built on top of Bluesky’s atproto.

I can only see good things coming from this.

While I'm still figuring out how to balance my own notes with what I post on social media, chances are I'll keep the juicy bits here just for my true fans.
