       I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!#fediverse #openweb #dweb #indieweb #POSSE

       @molly0xfff @mikeI really have hard time to understand why every technology must be bent around the non-sensical word #contentcreator...Who cares about "content creators" ... For me "content creators"  means publishing superficial & arguable topics with very low budget on the internet... WOW... Super... 😑It looks like we (not exactly me) are all addicted to consume content on the internet that we can't live without "content creators" . 🤦‍♂️For me "content creators"  are another symptom of the #Fediverse #enshittification, because they are a product of the "nasty social media" to let people sticking in front of a screen.If you are against the "nasty social media" the last thing that you want on the Fediverse are the "content creators" .Please save the Fediverse from "content creators" ... 🙏

       @freezr @molly0xfff We do have a bad habit in the tech world of calling people "users" and stories "content" and artists "creators". This kind of shorthand is often used to make it easier when building or discussing products but risks overly simplifying or categorizing.When I use the phrase "content creator" I'm referring to people like bloggers, vloggers, and podcasters who often tell stories in a way that is deeply rooted in their passion or expertise. I think these are people who I think should be celebrated in the fediverse and given an opportunity to subsidize their work so that can be sustainable.

       @mike @freezr @molly0xfff It bugs me that "content" has become such a dirty word. I blame the social media companies that intentionally conflated the terms "content" and "copy" because while nobody wants to make copy for free, that's exactly what content becomes when it's shared to a for-profit social media platform. The companies don't care if you're "connecting with an audience" they only care that you're influencing that audience's behavior (the definition of copy).

       @molly0xfff @mike Watching/listening to this episode now. So far it is great. Molly, I had no idea about your reading lists! I'm so jealous I wish I had an archive like this on my site. Swoon.
