  Not suprising in the least but disappointing to see Reddit move the wrong way. Less open, killing public API, ending RSS. #enshitification commences in a speed run. Looking forward to #Piefed and rest of #Threadiverse to work to take advantage of this moment. https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/30/reddit-is-killing-rss-feeds-ending-public-api-access-because-of-ai-bots/

  @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe - for #LittleFedi have you thought about using the same technique or even the say relays as #HolosSocial and #HolosDiscover to have the micro single users server speak to and see the larger Fediverse better?

  Very proud of the work my team did with Innovating for the Public Good here. There is still time - even with just weeks to go - for organizations to put inoculation to work fighting against the disinformation we know is coming as we head to the polls this midterm. And time to start planning for beyond. https://www.psgconsulting.com/research-publications/countering-disinformation

  Meta's Muse.ai is impressive enough to me to really prove that such Agents can be mass market offerings - and makes me deeply hopeful for a purely private, and/or self hosted offering that is as easy to use to come along.

  Agreed. The trust question is the whole ballgame for the agentic web. An agent is only useful if you hand it your inbox, calendar, and wallet, so the bet is who would you trust this with? Not Meta. Not Google. Not AI tech. Watching this one closely. https://defcon.social/@ai/117238342121057622

  I now fully believe that the open social web will be more key to the agentic web than folks think. #AgenticWeb

  Key quote from this episode: “And everyone has known this is coming because I have been telling them it's coming for years and years and years when Google's traffic, when the amount of traffic you see coming to you from Google goes to zero. What is left of your business? Do you have one? Do you have an audience? Do you have anything at all? And if Google turns off the economic incentives for all of these people to make new information, what will Google summarize in the AI Overviews...

  The open social web - both #Fediverse and #Blusky /#Atmosphere owe @samir@m.fedica.com and @FedicaHQ@m.fedica.com a ton for their forward looking tools embracing the social web. Excited to see them launch 2.0 and am checking it out. https://www.producthunt.com/products/fedica?launch=fedica-2-0&__cf_chl_tk=55WEp6xTv7ocCzGLpguXXc4cDYMt00XZHI1sMFpQc8A-1784920780-1.0.1.1-bAtG01LtyEjzppCRHQ4UqfraR6piypIURfHOUpep224

  “We have traded a free internet for a collection of walled gardens. Today, a handful of digital landlords use algorithms to dictate our reality, while closed AI threatens to change the ways we connect. We are at a breaking point: we can either let gatekeepers continue to consolidate their power, or we can reclaim the open source spirit that built the web in the first place.” https://zeldman.com/2026/07/02/the-human-story-of-the-open-web/

  “In this talk, I am going to try and inspire you to make things that would be literally impossible to make on the centralized web. I am going to talk about both the advantages and disadvantages of doing this kind of thing. Expect to hear concrete examples of software that already exists, and also examples of software that could conceivably exist in the very near future.” https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/lets-play-and-win-our-own-game/953

  Scott Galloway said he thought #Bluesky "cute and adorable & will die a slow & painful death," while noting that was "just vibes I haven't looked at the data... "I think it is a better brand than a business right now." (While he does praise small, independent digital & newsletter platforms.) While some Fediverse folks might applaud such a dark view of Bluesky's outcome, my view is no one who cares about the open social web should root for their fa...

  @cheeaun@mastodon.social Chee Aun is this... "As the link is not the same as currently-logged-in instance, it'll be "unfurl"-ed, almost like how we "guess" the post links, then fetch the remote API call. On a *collection* page itself, it's possible to use search API to unfurl the federated local collection ID, so switching between them is possible." Related to this...? https://indieweb.social/@tchambers/116772213826199488

  I'm still getting my head around how this would actually work: "co/core is a place where people share the compute they already own to run AI for each other, instead of renting from a handful of giant providers. It's an experiment in inference we build, share, and own together — and your existing code works as-is, because we speak the same standard API everything else does. The models are open ones that run on the hardware people already have. Every new user is granted 1m tokens...

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@ercanbrack/116756297944126863 One UX issue, when users link to their #collections on web UX, it links to it as a full path url... which makes sense, but that forces any other users who click on it from outside that server into a "remote server interactions hell" issue. is there any potential future work around on that? cc: @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social @imanijoy@mastodon.social
