"This is the same opportunity in front of the social media landscape right now: a rare chance to unbundle the internet, to pull apart an existing system and rebuild it, piece by piece, in vastly better ways. If we do this correctly — if the next phase of how we congregate and communicate online is built for humans and not advertisers — there won’t be a new titanic company to rival Meta or a platform with eye-poppingly huge numbers like Facebook."#DavidPiercehttps://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub

"...the World Wide Web Consortium (also known as the group more or less in charge of how the internet works)."David PierceNo David, that's the IETF. The W3C is only in charge of how the *web* works. I say this not as a gotcha, but because it's an important fact that a lot of otherwise well-informed people don't know. So I take every opportunity to clarify.

'You could have a Twitter-like app... or an Instagram-like one with a UI that shows photos first. Your federated YouTube could be full of everybody’s videos, or you could make TikTok by filtering only for short and vertical ones. You could use a WhatsApp-style messaging app that only cares about messages sent directly to someone’s inbox.You could try to do all those things, or you could try to do something nobody’s ever been able to do before."#DavidPiercehttps://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub

"You could build a news reader that only includes posts with links to news sites and automatically loads those links in a nice reading interface. You could build a content moderation tool that any fediverse app could use to filter and manage content on their platform. You could build the perfect algorithm that only up-ranks shitposts and good jokes, and license that algorithm to any app that wants... 'Epic Posts Only'..."#DavidPiercehttps://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub#SocialWeb #fediverse #ActivityPub

@dan613> Right, but how will I become a billionaire with this?The same way you become a billionaire with anything. Extract profit from other people's labour and convince a bunch of rentiers to gamble big chunks of capital on your ability to do it at scale : P

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz What you think ? I mean, you quoted it so, you have a opinion about it.

@me_the_fl00f> you quoted it so, you have a opinion about itNot necessarily. Just thought it was an intriguing bunch of ideas. The main point being that we can think more ambitiously than 'federated version of [popular DataFarm platform]'.
