Inspired by recent conversations with Fedi folks, I thought I'd work something up 🖋️ How do we define the Fediverse? And if it is possible to establish even half an answer, where does that take us? If not towards organisation what is the Fediverse's future really? Hope to get it up somewhere soon.

Not only is Rish bad at politics. Not only is his team bad at politics. They have a reputation for being bad at politics. Now every hack, pol nerd and journo with social media is queuing up to dunk on every tiny detail, aided and abetted by a gleeful press 🍿 🍿 🍿

Great news for Bluesky & the Fediverse! Thanks to our friend @snarfed.org, you can now join the wider social web by following @ap.brid.gy, opening up the bridge to the Fediverse. We’d love to see you there and a lot of other people will too. Any questions, feel free to get in touch! #Bsky

A typically chaotic day in British politics. With a #GeneralElection set for July 4th we're ready for fresh energy 🥂 We exist to promote Fedi & the social web so we'll be paying close attention to digital policy moves and how we can raise awareness of the social web, whatever the result. #Politics

The social web brings together experts across the world who believe in decentralised and democratic social media.  Safer, friendlier, and you’re in control. What’s not to love? We’re excited that Bluesky is a part of it. #SocialMedia #Democracy #OnlineSafety

Why is not enough to open articles in new tabs, why do I have to read them too?

Snake oil salespeople are nothing new, but its wild to see people like Altman and Musk consistently elevated to Rockefeller levels by VCs & hedge fund managers who really ought to know better.
Has anyone considered for a second that Sam Altman might be an idiot

Horribly plausible that we get to October, Sunak’s “fundamentals” are still awful and they just “something might turn up” their way to a January 2025 election.
Sunak has given an unambiguous message that there will not be an election before October. November 14 is still the likely date. Strategically I think it’s a terrible decision. The US election will colour it. But there are no good options for him.
