       @_elena we looked at who showed up on which days in September and there were like only 3 people out of 150+ attendees who only came Saturday, while overall attendance dropped off somewhat on Saturday. So we figured people preferred the work week.

       "They promised connection. But they delivered addiction, surveillance, and manipulation."What a simple, powerful statement about commercial social media by @_elena in her amazing movie.I'm going to steal this.

       Hi @_elena, you obviously have gotten a lot of praise for your Fediverse video, and deservedly so. Many people commented on the sheer production quality.I want to add that your narrative is also first-class. I cannot think of anybody who has told the Fediverse story better than you have, and usually the stories being told are much worse. How did you come up with it? That's also your work, right?

       Great piece on how we think about growth of Mastodon, Bluesky etc. and why it's (mostly) not working. By @laurenshofhttps://connectedplaces.online/growth-narratives-on-the-new-social-networks/

       “What sets Mastodon (and much of the fediverse) apart the most is the development of an ethical covenant as a social protocol that bands the heterogenous network together [in addition to the technical protocols]”.@rwg In his new book.If this isn’t a reason to check it out …

       IFTAS is doing its annual fediverse survey. If you are involved in running/moderating an instance, it would be great if you could take a few minutes. The results are always worthwhile.https://about.iftas.org/moderator-needs-assessment/

       This is a really important piece, please read it. And if you think that this can happen to Bluesky but not in the ActivityPub world, think again.From: @fediversereporthttps://mastodon.social/@fediversereport/115231698958411981

       Imagine your government shows up on social media, and within the first day, 30 times as many people block you as follow you.#bluesky

       I wish I would have kept track how many times I have crossed the North Atlantic in my lifetime. Then I could spend the long hours on the plane calculating how many cubic meters of arctic ice I’m personally responsible for melting…

       When visiting my grandmother during the Cold War, fighter jets flying overhead so low you’d sometimes duck involuntarily, making you cover your ears and all conversation impossible, was a frequent occurrence.Now Germany is reopening those areas for low flying practice again.It was not fun then, it won’t be fun now. But probably just as necessary. Humanity is stupid.https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundeswehr-uebt-tieffluege-diese-regionen-sind-besonders-betroffen-a-1221b445-5d1a-4a9e-9855-8a7448fdbd5d (in German)

       @sturmsucht Yep, and our walks through the woods we found US MRE's all the time -- including dried milk, not something we otherwise knew.
